Below is your step-by-step journey, along with everything you need to know about our 3-step Mat Pilates Starter Bundle.
Step 1: Start with Mat Level 3

Outcome: Gain foundational skills to teach Mat Pilates confidently and safely. This is a minimum requirement to become an insured instructor and teach in studios and gyms.
Mat Level 3 is the ideal entry point for your instructing career. This foundational course is accredited by ActiveIQ and equips you with the essentials to deliver safe, effective, and engaging Mat Pilates classes. You’ll dive into the fundamentals of Pilates, master key anatomy concepts, and learn how to structure classes that cater to a variety of clients, including special populations. With Mat Level 3, you’ll gain the foundation, confidence and tools to lead with clarity and precision, ensuring your students move safely and effectively.
Step 2: Add Specialised Training
Your development doesn’t stop at the basics! The Starter Bundle supports you further. Once you’ve completed Mat Level 3, you have the opportunity to enhance your training with two additional specialised courses included in the Starter Bundle:
- Level 3 Pre- and Postnatal Pilates (2 days, in-person):
Learn to support pregnant and postpartum clients with tailored exercises. - Progressive Classical Mat Pilates with Adaptations (2 days, in-person):
Advance your skills by incorporating small equipment like the Magic Circle, Weights, and Toe Corrector into classical Pilates exercises.
Level 3 Pre- and Post Natal is for those who are keen to support women through pregnancy and postpartum. It considers the physiological and biomechanical changes associated with pregnancy and the key health and safety considerations for pre and postnatal clients taking part in physical activity.
Progressive Mat is an advanced training for Mat Level 3 Instructors that teaches you how to safely adapt and progress the classical Mat repertoire, and includes incorporating small equipment like the magic circle, weights, and toe correctors. You’ll deepen your understanding of the purpose behind each exercise, allowing you to create dynamic, purposeful classes that inspire your clients and keep them coming back!
Step 3: Explore Classical Pilates Workshops
After completing Mat Level 3, you’ll meet the minimum requirements to attend:
- Classical Taster Workshops: Introduction to apparatus like Reformer and Wunda Chair.
- Guest Teacher Classical Pilates Workshops: These are opportunities to expand your knowledge of classical Pilates techniques with world renowned Classical teachers.
Once you have completed your Mat 3, Pre-post Natal and Progressive Mat with Small Equipment, you are then have a solid foundation to immerse yourself in the classical Pilates method through comprehensive teacher training.
Here, you’ll explore the beginner, intermediate, and advanced systems as Joseph Pilates intended, mastering the art and science of his original vision and the Classical Apparatus. In our Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training programme written, directed and certified by Kirk James Smith and taught by Sarah Janes, we cover the full range of Pilates apparatus which includes the Reformer, Mat, Cadillac, High Chair, Wunda Chair, Arm Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, Arc Barrel, Pedi Pole, Foot Corrector, Toe Corrector, Bean Bag, Neck Stretcher, Magic Circle, Weighted Pole, and Hand Weights.
