BASI regards Pilates Mat work as the “crown jewel” of Pilates. The Mat training offers a great introduction to the principles and basics of Pilates. It can be studied independently or as part of the comprehensive program. The BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Program gives students in-depth knowledge of Pilates theory, exercises, and skills to teach up to advanced-level clients on the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, F2 Spine Corrector, F2 Arm Chair, Ped-a-Pul, Mat, and other auxiliary apparatus. Graduates of the Comprehensive Program are qualified to take the exam to become a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT).

Participants who complete a training go on to teach Pilates at fitness centers, utilize this knowledge in physical therapy clinics, develop private studio businesses, and benefit from the international network of instructors and studios the BASI reputation provides.
