EYT Comprehensive Certification

The Complete Classical Pilates Studio System

Comprehensive Pilates education is the most complete pathway to becoming a fully equipped Pilates teacher. It develops your understanding of the classical Pilates method as an integrated system, teaching you how the Mat, Reformer and studio apparatus work together to support, challenge and progress each individual client.

Rather than being limited to one apparatus or a defined set of exercises, Comprehensive training develops your ability to see the bigger picture. You'll learn to recognise movement patterns, understand the purpose behind the repertoire and make informed decisions about the exercises, apparatus and progressions best suited to each client's needs, goals and abilities.

The result is a deeper understanding of the Pilates method, a broader teaching repertoire and the confidence to work with a greater diversity of bodies and movement needs.

Your Comprehensive Training in Bali

The EYT Comprehensive pathway builds on your Mat and Reformer education, completing your knowledge of the full classical studio system through focused, in-person training across the remaining apparatus.

3-Day In-Person Intensive

Cadillac / Tower & Barrels

Explore the classical repertoire of the Cadillac, Tower and Barrels, developing your understanding of spring resistance, suspension, spinal mobility, stability and strength. Learn how each apparatus offers distinct opportunities to support, challenge and progress movement, and how to apply the repertoire with purpose and precision.

Wunda Chair

Discover the unique demands and versatility of the Wunda Chair. Develop greater precision, balance, strength and coordination while exploring how the Chair repertoire complements the Mat and Reformer, creating new opportunities to challenge control, refine movement and develop the whole body.

Already Certified in Mat & Reformer?

You don't need to have completed your Mat and Reformer training through EYT to join our Comprehensive apparatus modules.

Teachers who hold Mat and Reformer qualifications from other recognised Pilates training schools can join the in-person training and earn separate EYT apparatus certificates in the Cadillac / Tower & Barrels and Wunda Chair, subject to the applicable course requirements.

These apparatus-specific certificates are separate from the 550-hour EYT Comprehensive Certification, which follows its own training, apprenticeship and assessment requirements.

Whether you're looking to expand your existing teaching repertoire or continue your professional development across the classical studio system, these modules offer an opportunity to deepen your knowledge and skills with EYT.

From Repertoire to Comprehensive Teaching

Comprehensive training is about more than learning more exercises. It's about understanding how the entire Pilates system works together.

You'll develop the knowledge to look beyond individual movements, recognise what a client needs and draw from the full repertoire to make purposeful teaching choices. This broader perspective allows you to connect exercises across the apparatus, create meaningful progressions and deliver a more individualised teaching experience.

Your three-day intensive is supported by the EYT online curriculum and a structured programme of self-practice, observation, teaching practice and mentored apprenticeship as you work towards your 550-hour EYT Comprehensive Certification.
