MAT PILATES TEACHER TRAINING

*** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY***

Fall 2024 is Now Full. Spring 2025 Dates are live and we are taking applications. We will not be scheduling applicant calls until September but the calendar is live if you want to book ahead of time. Please make sure you know the dates and they work for you before booking a call. The call is an interview and a chance to ask questions but not an information session.

We are very sorry but at this time we are too overwhelmed with scholarship applications to take more. Please do not apply- we must work through our very long waitlist at this time. Thank you for understanding,

Please read through the details of the training thoroughly. Once you have filled out an application, you will be need to book an applicant call to complete registration.

*If you do not show up to your applicant call without reaching out to us and cancelling you will not be admitted into the program. You must submit your application prior to booking your applicant call. If you do not fill out an application first your call will be cancelled. These calls are for serious applicants who are ready to interview us and for whom we are ready to interview to make sure it is a right fit for everyone. Please treat it professionally.

Our mat program is comprised of 90 practicum hours and 80 plus in-class hours - taught by a diverse group of faculty with over 50 years of combined experience The course runs over several months with plenty of time to digest and integrate learning between each session. Our community is supportive and here to help you get the most of your training. We understand that everybody learns differently. We use a variety of different learning tools and offer a wide arrange of approaches to accommodate diverse learners.

There’s a lot to cover and an outline we follow but we understand that the best learning happens when questions are asked and we go off script. We learn from and with each other and there are no wrong questions.
