Mat 1 forms the foundation of the Pilates method. This course includes an introduction to the history and principles of the Pilates method and the beginning and intermediate level exercises. Each exercise includes training on modifications, challenges, the purpose of the exercise and any precautions for injuries and special populations. How to design and teach group classes and guidelines for teaching seniors and pre and post–natal classes are included.
Starting in January 2026, Balanced Body is launching a new student resource portal - CLARA. When you register for a class with us, you will then receive a link to purchase your REQUIRED digital course materials directly through Balanced Body ($75). We will have physical copies of manuals ($50) for students who wish to purchase them in addition to the digital format but a physical manual is NOT REQUIRED.
