Complete Mat Teacher Training

Take your Pilates journey to the next level with Pi’s Complete Mat Program
A dynamic training designed for those who want to teach with confidence, precision, and skill.

This program covers the original 34 mat exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, as passed down by Romana Kryzanowska. Learn to move your clients with the same joy, vitality, and precision Romana brought to the Method—while staying true to its original intention.

Training is usually delivered over two in-person weekends and structured into three progressive modules, beginning with the Intro Level.

Whether you’re stepping into teaching for the first time, leaving behind corporate life, or looking to refine your skills, this training will equip you with the tools, techniques, and confidence to step fully into the inspiring world of Pilates teaching.

Open to all—health and fitness professionals, dedicated practitioners, and those new to teaching. No prior teaching experience is required, though familiarity with the full Classical Mat repertoire is recommended.

Join Holly and her team—stewards of this remarkable legacy—and become part of the living lineage of Joseph Pilates and his protégé, Romana Kryzanowska.
