Mindful Movement Mat Pilates Training
Our program is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to engage with the training at your own pace. Whether you're aiming for full teaching certification or looking to enhance your existing skills, our modules are tailored to meet diverse needs. Here’s a brief overview:
Modules 1 and 2: These foundational modules are open to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Pilates or exploring anatomy from a practical, functional perspective. They are ideal whether you’re new to Pilates or seeking to enrich your personal practice.
Modules 3 and 4: For those committed to achieving the full MMC Mat certification, Modules 3 and 4 build on the foundation laid in the earlier modules. These must be taken together with Modules 1 and 2 to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
At the heart of our approach is the Mindful Movement Difference—a belief in the power of collaborative and community-based learning environments. We strive to create spaces where learning is interactive, supportive, and deeply engaging.
Our program is both steeped in over 25 years of learning and continuously evolving to incorporate new research, diverse perspectives, and new movement experiences and learnings. We believe that the best lessons come from exploring and experimenting, and so our program is designed to provide you with the space to grow and let your curiosity run wild! Everyone's journey is different - we can't wait to be a part of yours!

Module 4 - Certification
It's time to take things into the studio and get you all ready for your certification!
