Come and Earn Yourself a Certificate IV in Pilate with Breathe Education
Our certification courses target two key areas and enhance any abilities you already may have. Even if you’re a beginner, our curriculum caters for all levels.
On the one hand you have the matwork aspect which involves:
- Learning warm up routines and starting positions
- Developing a collection of exercises
- Mastering techniques
- Discovering the biomechanics behind the movements
- Putting together a perfect finishing sequence
Our mat Pilates course therefore, is very comprehensive and interesting. After mastering the mat Pilates teacher training you will own that classroom and virtually transcend a feeling of calm control that will help others to escape with you through exercise.
Then, there’s the reformer components where you will learn:
- How to set-up equipment safely and securely
- The latest scientific approaches to each and every exercise
- How to use and manage a reformer correctly
- Transitional cues so that your classes flow seamlessly in an easy and orderly manner
A Reformer Pilates Course with a Difference
Our Pilates reformer training will teach you how to use this apparatus effectively to encourage flexibility, strength, good posture and body alignment.
Essentially, we’ve combined mat and reformer Pilates teacher training so that you’re richly diverse and have the opportunity to use both methods in your classes. What’s more is that our Pilates certification is the only one of its kind to incorporate added features such as:
- Pre and post-natal training to help yummy mummies stay energised
- Pain and injury management so you know how to handle these cases and when to refer them
- How to appropriately modify exercises for those with less flexibility and how to ramp it up a notch for those who are more advanced
Our courses are not only all inclusive, broadly developed and informative, but also good fun, invigorating and life changing.
The structure of our program is as follows:
- Each week you will have, a live lecture, tutorial, online Pilates class, self practice time, teaching and observation sessions on an interactive and top quality audio-video platform
- All tutorials, classes, observations and self practice are bookable and changeable to suit you and your personal schedule
- The course usually takes 6 months to complete but you can have up to 12 months if you need it.
All this comes with a variety of phenomenal features, such as:
- An easy to use and engaging eLearning platform with over 100 hours of video material and a selection of quizzes
- Slack instant messaging so that you can talk with your trainer and course group
- The chance to take part in peer to peer video calls
- A caring and committed student success coach who will see you through all your studies with us
- An Australian government accredited certificate in Pilates upon passing the course

Prerequisites
Fitness
If you are doing regular Pilates classes at any level, you are fit enough to do this course.
One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that you need to be able to do all the moves perfectly before you can be a great teacher. That is just plain not true. Doing the moves and teaching are two different skills.
You need to be fit enough to do a 50-minute beginner or open-level Pilates class, but you don’t need to have any particular level of flexibility, or strength, or grace.
People of all ages from 18-75, all levels of flexibility, and all body shapes have successfully completed this course and are now teaching Pilates and loving life.
Time Commitment
This course requires 9 hours each week in total.
Each week you will do:
- 1 live online lecture (90 minutes)
- 1 live online small-group tutorial (90 minutes)
- 2 practice sessions with classmates (60 minutes each)
- Participate in one live online Pilates class taught by a Breathe Education trainer (60 minutes)
- Observe one live online Pilates class taught by a Breathe Education trainer (60 minutes)
- Watch videos and complete quizzes in eLearning (approximately 2 hours)
Tutorials, practice sessions, and live online Pilates classes are scheduled throughout the week including weekdays, weeknights and weekends. You book the sessions that suit you each week, and you can easily book into a different session if you need to change your schedule one week.
Following this learning schedule will have you complete the course in 6 months.
You have up to 12 months to complete the course.
Computers
eLearning is an important part of this course, and we’ve created a simple, clear and easy-to-use eLearning system for you.
If you can use Facebook, or send an email, you have enough computer skills to complete this course.
Even if you struggle with sending an email, we’re only a phone call away, and we’ll talk you through any problems you have.
We have helped thousands of people complete this course successfully, and no-one has ever failed to graduate because of computer issues 🙂
