Mindful Pilates
Comprehensive Mat Training 2027
with Shieri Shelly Yamafuji
3 Weekends | March 3rd & 4th, 10th & 11th, 27th & 28th 2027 | Saturday 1-6pm & Sunday 1-5pm
This 35-hour Comprehensive Pilates Mat Training offers a thorough and immersive experience designed for mindful, therapeutic teaching.
The program begins with an Introduction to Pilates, covering its principles, benefits, and essential anatomy and kinesiology, including the respiratory system. You will learn over 30 foundational exercises, broken down in a precise, mindful, and therapeutic approach.
Special guest lectures from a physical therapist and a 900-hour Pilates Reformer instructor provide insights into common challenges and special conditions, offering a deeper understanding of the body in movement.
This program was designed to answer the questions I wished I had when starting out—a curriculum that is complete and self-sufficient, enabling you to teach with confidence without needing to learn Pilates machines, while still providing everything you need for a safe, effective, and mindful mat practice.
