“The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.”
— Aristotle

The Body & Flow Comprehensive Mat Program is a complete mat-based Pilates education, designed to develop confident, skilled, and thoughtful teachers.
The program includes Mat I, Mat II, and the Accessories course, offering a structured progression from foundational principles to advanced application and creative teaching.

Across the program, students engage in interactive learning, including practice, labs, problem-solving, role-playing, and teaching scenarios. The focus is on building a strong technical base while cultivating clear communication, intelligent progression, and mindful teaching.

Throughout the program, we continuously connect anatomy, movement principles, and practical teaching, supporting adaptable, safe, and engaging mat instruction for a wide range of bodies and abilities.

Mat I – Foundations of Teaching and Movement

Mat I lays the foundation for effective and intelligent mat teaching. From the very first fundamental exercises to early intermediate material, the course focuses on execution, alignment, anatomy, and clear teaching strategies.

Students learn not only what to teach, but ยังไง to teach — developing observation skills, teaching language, and the ability to guide students safely and progressively.

In Mat I we explore:

• Pilates principles and how to bring them to life in class
• Teaching fundamental and intermediate mat exercises
• Safe and appropriate progression of exercises
• Structuring classes for mixed levels and different settings
• Cueing strategies, hands-on work, and teaching tools
• Postural assessment and exercise selection
• Identifying and correcting misalignments and inefficient movement patterns
• Teaching first classes, group classes, and varied class formats

Mat I supports the development of a creative, compassionate, and mindful teacher, with strong technical grounding and confidence in front of a class.

Mat II – Advanced Mat and Applied Teaching

The Advanced Mat Course (Mat II) deepens teaching skills while expanding the mat repertoire with more advanced, layered, and creative exercises.

This course emphasizes clinical awareness and intelligent adaptation, allowing teachers to work more confidently with diverse bodies and common movement challenges.

In Mat II we explore:

• Advanced mat exercises and progressions
• Creative sequencing and class flow
• Deepening observation and correction skills
• Understanding common back-related conditions, including disc pathologies
• How spinal conditions may present in movement
• Adapting exercises to support safety, confidence, and functional progress

Mat II supports teachers in moving beyond choreography into responsive, informed, and purposeful teaching.

Accessories Course – Expanding the Mat Repertoire

The Accessories course introduces the powerful role of Pilates props in enhancing movement quality, accessibility, and challenge.

These tools help deepen body awareness, refine execution, support modifications, and expand creative possibilities within mat classes.

In this workshop we explore:

• Small and Large Ball
• Elastic Band

Students learn how to integrate accessories to:

• Enhance strength, stability, and mobility
• Offer regressions and progressions for all levels
• Add variety, feedback, and challenge to mat classes
• Support clearer cueing and improved movement organization

Throughout the entire program, we introduce แบบฝึกหัดเพิ่มเติม การพัฒนาทักษะ และรูปแบบต่างๆ to expand movement vocabulary and teaching adaptability.
