The Mat Training Course

For most students wanting to pursue a career as a Pilates instructor, learning the foundation of the Method through the matwork is the first step. The Mat Training Course integrates both beginner mat AND intermediate mat exercises together in one course. Over the course of 2 weekends and 24 hours, students will become fluent in teaching over 30 Pilates mat exercises, the classical Pilates beginner and intermediate mat sequence, as well as innovative modifications to challenge or simplify each exercise according to varying fitness levels or common injuries.

Course Structure at a Glance

Pre-Course

A week before we meet in person you'll dive into the world of classical Mat by logging into your CPNYC Mat Training Course learning platform online. Our precourse is an online self-paced study moderated by a CPNYC faculty member. You’ll have a week to cozy up with and be saturated with instructional videos, manuals, interactive discussions and quizzes. Self-paced to show up on day one super prepared.

2 Levels. One Course.

The Mat Training Course includes Beginner and Intermediate levels. You'll become fluent in teaching the full sequence for both levels, and all the tried and true CPNYC modifications to challenge or simplify each exercise according to varying fitness levels or common injuries.

Weekend 1

Get ready. Walk in. Stand up and teach. It happens that quickly. We throw you in to knock the nerves out the park so you are clear and present. The group begins to understand the fundamentals and principles of the Method and of teaching the Method. Differentiating technique versus cueing when teaching and then understanding the beginner level mat exercises and its role for what’s to come.

Week In Between

Between the two weekends we encourage you to apprentice! Take Mat classes in studio or online or opt to login and observe our online Mat classes while they are happening live. Get fully exposed to how our faculty cues, flows, creates and masters a full classical Mat class. And study, study, study.

Weekend 2

What a difference a week makes. We come together again to introduce and practice the Intermediate level mat sequence. Emphasis on class structure and the “whys” of the order are discussed.

Assessment & Certificate

On the last day of weekend 2 the group will participate in assessment drills where faculty will observe that you've got a solid grasp on technique, cueing, orders, flow and timing. You'll receive the CPNYC Certificate of Completion within a week and you can begin teaching!

This Can Be You.
