Comprehensive In-Studio vs. Comprehensive Flex

Comprehensive Global - In-Studio


The Comprehensive Global Program includes the Mat Program as well as a thorough and complete education in Pilates covering the full range of Pilates equipment (Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ped-a-pul, Ladder Barrel, Step Barrel and various other Auxiliary apparatus). This program consists of 12 modules, which consists of 72 hours of lecture, discussion, and exercise analysis and practice. More than simply a program of study, the Comprehensive Global Program is an enduring foundation for a career in Pilates. This is a college-level teacher training program that gives students knowledge of Pilates theory, exercises, and teaching skills on all Pilates equipment.


The Comprehensive Global course is taught in a 12-module format, with students required to be in-studio for 12 days. Each day includes 6 hours of instruction, with a 1-hour break. During the in-studio sessions, both theoretical concepts and exercise analysis are covered.


Sometimes the Comprehensive Global format is separated into two parts, Foundation and Graduate. Foundation is modules 1-6. Graduate is modules 7-12. 


Comprehensive Global - Flex


The Comprehensive Global Program includes the Mat Program, providing a thorough and complete education in Pilates covering the full range of Pilates equipment, including Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ped-a-pul, Ladder Barrel, Step Barrel, and various other auxiliary apparatus.


This program follows our Flex format consisting of eight days (modules) delivered through a combination of in-studio sessions and pre-recorded lectures. In-studio modules include discussions, exercise analysis, and practice, while theoretical presentations are covered through online lectures available to view at your own pace.


Enrollment is required at least two weeks prior to the course start date. Books and videos will be released two weeks before the course begins to allow students time to review the required materials before attending in-studio sessions.
