Certified Mat Pilates Teacher Training

Pilates has evolved. This program will guide you through its history and evolution, finding a deeper understanding of the Six Principles of Pilates: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath, and Flow. You’ll learn the roots of Joseph Pilates’ classical movements and how those movements and principles have inspired Mind & Move’s PilatesREMIXED. Learn the classical, contemporary, and functional integration styles of Pilates to find the one that speaks to you.

The PilatesREMIXED philosophy is: Inspired by Pilates, Powered by Functional Strength, Driven by Expression, and Motivated by Excellence.

You will feel confident in leading classes that are embodied experiences designed to create lasting impact. People remember how they felt, not what they did.

**This is not a Traditional/Classical Pilates Training of the Contrology Method. Instead, we explore Joseph’s teachings, the history of Pilates, the modern evolution and apply strength training principles to develop Sculpt & Pilates classes taught at boutique studios today.

  • With over a decade of experience, Sydney brings a modern, strength-forward approach to Pilates.

She honours the roots of the method while pushing its future forward, using Pilates as a foundation for building intelligent, resilient bodies.
