In this 8-hour training, you’ll learn the key principles needed to lead a Hot Mat Pilates class. Designed for yoga teachers who have completed a 200hr training, this unique method builds on what you already know, informing and inspiring your current teaching method. 

The purpose of Pilates is to strengthen, lengthen, and balance the body, with a primary focus on creating muscle tone and core strength. Hot Mat Pilates is a breath focused, high intensity, low impact class using various sequences to stabilize major muscle groups.
