Comprehensive Pilates education is widely regarded as the most complete pathway to becoming a fully equipped Pilates teacher. A comprehensively trained teacher develops an understanding of the full Pilates system and the relationships between the apparatus, allowing them to select and adapt movement according to the individual needs, goals and abilities of each client.
Rather than being limited to a single apparatus or repertoire, Comprehensive training expands your movement vocabulary and your ability to see the body, solve movement challenges and create purposeful progressions across the studio.
The result is a deeper understanding of the Pilates method and a broader professional teaching practice — giving you the tools to work with a greater diversity of bodies, goals and movement experiences.
The EYT Comprehensive pathway builds on your Mat and Reformer education, extending your knowledge across the remaining classical studio apparatus.
3-Day In-Person Intensive
Explore the Cadillac, Tower and Barrels repertoire and learn how these apparatus can support, challenge and progress movement. Develop your understanding of spring work, suspension, stability, mobility and how to select exercises according to the needs of the individual client.
Discover the versatility of the Wunda Chair and its unique demands on strength, balance, control and coordination. Learn how the Chair repertoire can complement and progress work from the Mat and Reformer while developing greater precision and body awareness.
The Comprehensive teacher learns to think beyond the exercise. You'll develop the ability to assess the client in front of you, understand what the Pilates system offers, and make informed choices about which apparatus, exercise or progression will best serve their needs.
Your in-person intensive is supported by the EYT online curriculum, structured study, self-practice, observation, teaching and mentored apprenticeship as you work toward your 550-hour Comprehensive certification.
This is the pathway from learning the Pilates repertoire to understanding the Pilates system as a whole.
