The Mat Academy program provides an engaging and interactive method of learning our essential Core Mat 1, Core Mat 2, and Core Mat 3 courses. Each subsequent program builds upon the information learned during the previous course. During the Core Mat I course you will learn to teach the 18 beginner level mat exercises and be introduced to Power Pilates teaching tools, philosophy, and teaching formula. Every student new to Power Pilates must start with Core Mat I.

The Core Mat I Syllabus focuses on teaching you how to teach the beginner exercises. This dynamic online program will first focus on the Art of Teaching - an approach that sets a Power Pilates teacher apart from the rest. With these tools you will understand how to provide personalized attention to each client, whether in a group or private setting. This online intensive is designed to enable the attendees to apply the principles of Joseph Pilates to further enhance their own, and their clients' fitness and wellness.

Your course begins with five complementary mat classes online at Power Pilates Live (offered at a variety of times to suit your schedule) and a performance assessment to ensure you know the exercises and order in your own body.

In addition to helpful document downloads, video and animated lessons, quizzes and workouts, you may register for up to 10 teaching practice sessions, conducted via live video conference with a Teacher Trainer.
These sessions are held on Wednesdays at 7pm ET and Saturdays at 9am ET.

After the modules and coaching sessions have been completed, you will complete your practical exam with your Teacher Trainer and virtual coaching group.
