By Sarah Janes, Third-Generation Classical Pilates Teacher
Hello, I’m Sarah Janes, and as a third-generation classical Pilates teacher. My passion is to pass down all the information that I’ve learnt over the years from my mentors and my teachers mainly from second generation Pilates teachers themselves. Their knowledge, rooted in the legacy of Joseph Pilates, has shaped my journey, and now it’s my privilege to pass it on to you.
I am now proud to provide a basic level three Mat Pilates diploma course that we are running here from our studio in Sutton Coldfield from September 2025. This will be an encompassing course and will cover all of the Mat exercises along with the history and the theory and the reasons why we learn the exercises. It will also teach you to create a safe and effective workout for most bodies and explore every mat exercise.
My love for classical Pilates began long before I discovered the studio apparatus. It was the mat exercises, as outlined in Joseph Pilates’ Return to Life Through Contrology, that first captured my heart. There’s something beautifully simple yet profoundly transformative about these movements, and I’ve dedicated myself to teaching them with authenticity and care. Whether you’re dreaming of launching a new career or simply want to deepen your understanding of classical mat exercises, this course is designed to support you every step of the way.
What Makes Our Course Special?
Our Level 3 Mat Pilates Diploma Course is carefully designed to provide a well-rounded education. You’ll learn:
- All the Classical Mat Exercises: Master the full repertoire with precision and confidence.
- The History and Theory: Understand the why behind the movements and how they create balance, strength, and mobility.
- Safe and Effective Teaching: Discover how to tailor the practice to suit a wide range of bodies and needs.
But that’s not all. We also offer extra-curricular workshops where you’ll learn to teach the body in front of you and learn the basics and fundamentals added into Pilates to help access new bodies. These workshops are perfect for those who want to expand their teaching.
A Supportive Journey to Becoming an Instructor
At our Sutton Coldfield studio, we believe in nurturing new instructors with hands-on guidance. That’s why our course includes plenty of face-to-face studio time, ensuring you feel fully supported as you grow into your role as a Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor. I’ll be there to guide you, answer your questions, and share the insights I’ve gained over years of teaching.
This course is not just about earning a qualification – it’s about igniting a lifelong passion for Pilates. And for those who wish to continue their journey, this diploma opens doors to exciting opportunities, such as further training with studio apparatus and comprehensive teacher training.
