Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training

Learn to Teach Both Classical & Contemporary Pilates
270-Hour Mat & Reformer Certification for Fitness and Movement Professionals
September 26, 2026 – March 27, 2027

Gain the knowledge, teaching experience, and mentorship needed to confidently teach Pilates through a six-month hybrid program that blends Classical Pilates foundations with Contemporary movement principles.

If you're already a fitness instructor, personal trainer, yoga teacher, dance educator, or movement professional, this program was built for you.

Pilates Unleashed's Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training is a six-month mentorship-based certification program designed to help experienced movement professionals add Mat and Reformer Pilates to their teaching toolkit.

This is not a weekend intensive.

You'll receive hands-on instruction, supervised teaching experience, studio practice, mentorship, and real-world coaching designed to help you confidently teach clients after graduation.

What Makes This Program Different?

Many teacher training programs focus on passing an exam.

Our focus is preparing you to teach.

Beginning in Month Four, participants will begin accumulating supervised teaching hours with practice clients, friends, or family members. You'll receive feedback, mentorship, and guidance throughout the process.

After graduation, you'll continue with two additional months of mentorship to help bridge the gap between certification and real-world teaching.

By Graduation You Will Have:

Comprehensive Mat & Reformer Pilates Certification (270 Hours)

The confidence to lead both private and group Pilates sessions

Real teaching experience—not just observation hours

Mentorship from experienced instructors

A portfolio of supervised practice hours

A clear path to teaching professionally

I have been taking classes with Heidy for over 2 years now, and have also participated in her teacher training certification course. She provided me with a comprehensive teacher training course/certification for me to be able to teach confidently and be educated on the Pilates choreography.
