Certifications
Mat PTT
​
The Mat is where the study of Pilates begins. Institute 34’s Mat Teacher Training explores the classical repertoire, guiding principles, anatomy, movement progression, modifications, and the art of intelligent cueing. Through focused study, embodied practice, observation, and mentorship, students learn not simply to perform or memorize exercises—but to read the body, understand the method, and teach the person in front of them. This is where precision meets presence, and movement becomes a language.
​
Reformer PTT
The Reformer deepens the study of the Pilates method through spring resistance, rhythm, precision, and flow. Institute 34’s Reformer Teacher Training explores the classical repertoire alongside contemporary movement intelligence, teaching students to understand the purpose behind each exercise, recognize movement patterns, and adapt the work to the individual. Through embodied practice, observation, and mentorship, trainees learn to teach beyond choreography—to read the body, guide with confidence, and honour the integrity of the method.
Legacy Lab and ApparatusÂ
Legacy Lab is where teachers move beyond certification and into mastery. Through apprenticeship, mentorship, and continued study, educators deepen their understanding of the complete Pilates system—including the Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, and other classical apparatus. This immersive training connects each piece of equipment to the Mat and Reformer work while developing greater discernment, adaptability, and confidence. It is a space to refine the craft, discover an authentic teaching voice, and carry the method forward with integrity.
