Balance 8 Pilates Classical Mat Certification
Presented by Body Maestro | Led by Renee Scott
Build a strong, confident foundation in Pilates with our immersive Classical Pilates Mat Certification. This comprehensive program is designed for instructors, movement professionals, and aspiring teachers who want to deepen their understanding of the original Pilates method and learn how to apply it effectively in today's teaching environment.
Delivered over four consecutive Saturdays, the course guides you through the full Classical Pilates Mat system, progressing from the Basic repertoire through to Intermediate and Advanced exercises. Along the way, you'll explore the history and philosophy of Joseph Pilates, understand the differences between classical and contemporary approaches, and gain a deeper appreciation for the foundations that underpin all Pilates equipment and movement practices.
The mat work is where the Pilates method began. It is the foundation of the entire system and the place where the mind-body connection was first developed and refined. Understanding these original exercises, their purpose, and their progression provides invaluable insight for anyone teaching movement.
Throughout the course, we honour and preserve the traditional teachings of Joseph Pilates while also exploring how to confidently integrate the work into the modern movement world. You'll leave with the knowledge, confidence, and practical teaching skills to deliver purposeful, inspiring classes and support clients of all levels.
Renee trained and was certified by Romana Kryzanowska, who continued Joseph Pilates' New York studio alongside his wife Clara following his passing. This gives participants a rare opportunity to learn the work through a direct lineage to the original Pilates method. Combined with more than 25 years of studio ownership and over 15 years of mentoring and educating instructors, Renee brings both authenticity and practical teaching experience to every aspect of the training.
