The Mat-Comprehensive package offers the Core Mat I, Core Mat II, and Comprehensive programs at a significant discount. The Core Mat I (Beginner Mat level) program is the foundation of the Power Pilates method. Each subsequent program builds upon the information learned during this course. During this weekend 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.

During the Core Mat II (Intermediate Mat level) weekend, you will learn 12 intermediate level exercises, including where to add them within the sequence of the beginner level mat class, and continue to work on your teaching skills. Our students say that "everything starts to click" during the Core Mat II weekend. Completing the Core Mat II weekend expands the range of clients you can work with and strengthens your teaching ability. Core Mat I & II are required to progress to the Comprehensive program.

The Comprehensive Apparatus training covers beginner, intermediate, and advanced exercises on the major Pilates apparatus including the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, Ped-o-Pull and Magic Circle. During the program, Comprehensive apprentices learn how to teach safe, effective sessions to Special Case clients who have health conditions requiring modifications such as pregnancy, back problems, etc. Modifications, variations, and teaching skills are taught throughout the course.

The Comprehensive Apparatus training is an intensive, 600+ hour program that takes 6-12 months to complete, including approximately 500 hours outside of the required weekend intensives. Comprehensive apprentices must complete required hours in lecture, practice teaching, self-practice, and observation. Progress exams are completed after 100 hours (Beginner System), 300 hours (Intermediate System), and 400 hours (Advanced System), as well as a final exam (Multilevel) following completion of 600 hours.

Power Pilates Core Mat 1 and Core Mat 2 are required to enter this course. Graduates of the Comprehensive Apparatus training are able to teach private and semi private classical pilates sessions to clients of all ages and fitness levels.
