MTTC – Mat Teacher Training Course
in Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Scandinavia
The MTTC provides a thorough education in the Mat Work and its infinite applications. In addition to being the foundation upon which all the Pilates work is based, it is also the perfect springboard to the CTTC.
It is affordable, easy to integrate into many different settings and introduces people to the foundation of Pilates. There is no part of the Pilates system that exemplifies the principles of the method, particularly flow, quite as well as the Mat work. Students study a very wide repertoire of Mat Work exercises and the integration of small apparatus into the Mat program.
Upon completion of the course, you will be qualified to:
- Work according to the principles of Pilates and introduce these tenets to clients and students
- Assess posture and posture types, as well as detect postural deviations
- Solve problems and provide effective exercise solutions to many physical conditions
- Compile comprehensive and safe Pilates Mat work programs tailored to individual and group needs
- Adapt a class to different settings and environments
- Integrate small apparatus into a Mat class to achieve optimum results
- Use the BASI® Block System to successfully administer Mat work classes
- Analyze and understand the Pilates exercises based on anatomical and biomechanical principles
- Demonstrate at a high level the vast repertoire of classic Pilates exercises as well as a wide range of original BASI® exercises
- Modify exercises according to the needs and goals of the individual
- Establish a sound foundation to embark on the CTTC
Course Details
The Mat Work Teachers Training Course is taught by members of the BASI® Pilates faculty in Host studios around the world. Courses are ongoing in multiple locations throughout the year. The course structure is modular, approximately 100 hours of study, practice, observation and apprentice teaching.
Due to sickness and other important reasons, a student may catch up on course modules missed, at any course location in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Scandinavia, depending on availability.
All courses, no matter where they are held in our licence area, not only uphold the educational standards of BASI® Pilates, but also in some instances exceed these to comply with the requirements of the Pilates associations in the various licence areas, an important factor in deciding where you are going to start your Pilates education.
Course Contents & Requirements
Six modules, including lectures, exercise analysis and practice, and discussion.
– At the beginning of the course, MTTC students receive the current BASI® Study Guide and a movement analysis Work Book covering the Pilates mat work and use of Auxiliary equipment.
Required after each module. Many host locations organize workshops (or informal study sessions) with the course instructor or assistant instructor to review and discuss material

30 hours (40 hours for Austria) at the Host location or a studio approved by BASI® Pilates Germany/Austria/Switzerland. (These are the recommended number of hours; they may be adjusted based upon the past experience of the student.
