The Complete Mat Work Training| The Method at its Roots
The Complete Mat is a four-month, in-depth training program dedicated to the original 34 Mat exercises developed by Joseph Pilates and carried through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska.
This programme offers a careful, progressive study of the Mat as a complete and intelligent system — taught with clarity, rigour, and deep respect for the Method.
Over the course of the training, you will learn how to:
Understand and teach the full Mat repertoire, step by step
Build classes that are safe, precise, and adaptable
Work confidently with beginners while holding a clear pathway toward advanced practice
Develop classes that evolve with your clients over time
The Complete Mat equips you to teach classes that are not only effective, but thoughtful, dynamic, and sustainable — supporting both your clients’ development and your longevity as a teacher.
At Pi, we believe the Mat is the pinnacle. Nothing is left out, and nothing is rushed.
This training is ideal for:
Aspiring Pilates teachers
Movement professionals deepening their practice
Teachers seeking a clearer, lineage-based understanding of the Mat
The Complete Mat is not about copying choreography. It is about learning how the Method thinks — so you can teach with confidence, integrity, and care.
A training for the long term.
