The Pilates Comprehensive Studio Instructor program is intended for students wishing to embark on a fully-fledged career as a Pilates studio instructor, incorporating both mat and the full studio apparatus. This is the way Joseph Pilates intended his exercise program to be delivered – combining mat work with the apparatus to develop a strong, flexible, balanced, healthy body.
