Modern Mat Pilates Teacher Training

Modern Mat Pilates takes classical Pilates to the next level by incorporating small equipment such as Pilates balls, resistance bands and weights – creating dynamic, varied full-body workouts that are effective and fun.

Our 70-hour Pilates Teacher Training includes 50 hours of in-person training and 20 hours of self-study, self-practice and class observation. After completing the training, you’ll also have the opportunity to join the YOU GLOW team and teach at our studios in Berlin.

This training is for anyone who wants to deepen their own practice and learn how to teach Modern Mat Pilates with confidence. It takes you on a complete, practical journey – from understanding the foundations and anatomy behind the method to designing your own classes, finding your voice as a teacher and taking your first steps into teaching professionally.

The training is divided into two progressive blocks: Foundations and Teaching, Class Design & Business:

Block 1: Foundations, you’ll build the knowledge your teaching will stand on. You’ll explore the principles of Pilates, functional anatomy, breathing and core connection, and develop a strong repertoire of classical exercises, contemporary variations and modifications for different bodies and needs.

Block 2: Teaching, Class Design & Business, you’ll turn that knowledge into confident teaching. You’ll learn how to cue effectively, structure and design complete classes, create intelligent and creative sequences, adapt to the bodies in front of you and develop your own presence and style as a teacher. We’ll also cover the practical side of starting to teach – giving you the tools to move from training into the real world.

Throughout both blocks, theory and practice go hand in hand. You’ll move, observe, teach and receive feedback – gaining real teaching experience rather than simply learning the theory.

What you’ll walk away by: You’ll be able to confidently design and teach a complete Modern Mat Pilates class. You’ll have the anatomy knowledge to support your cueing, the eye to adapt exercises to the body in front of you, and the tools to create classes that are intelligent, effective and true to your own teaching style.

If you love Pilates and are ready to turn your passion into a profession, we can’t wait to welcome you! ✨

Your Training Team: Basma Arrhaoui

800h+ Comprehensively Trained Pilates, Yoga & Barre Teacher

Born in Morocco and shaped by years of living, studying, and working across Europe and Asia, I always found my true home in movement. After recovering from a serious injury that once threatened my ability to walk, I made a lifelong commitment to honoring and caring for my body. That journey sparked a deep passion for exploring various movement disciplines, seeking not just strength, but longevity, awareness, and joy.

My classes are designed to challenge both body and mind through intentional movement, storytelling, and just the right playlist to keep the energy high and the motivation flowing.

I believe sport is where transformation happens, and I’m here to guide that process, helping you push beyond what you thought possible. While staying connected to what makes you feel strong, present, and empowered.

Your Training Team: Caro Walsh

200h+ Modern Mat Pilates Teacher & Pre- and Postnatal Pilates

Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and over time, that passion naturally led me to Pilates and eventually to teaching.

For me, Pilates is about more than just strength. It’s about connecting with your body, building awareness, and finding joy in movement. My classes combine dynamic flows, varied sequences, and just the right amount of spice — always accompanied by a playlist that carries you through the practice and keeps the energy flowing.

I want my classes to feel challenging, but never overwhelming. With modifications for every level, plenty of motivation, and a strong focus on body awareness, I create space for everyone to move in a way that feels both empowering and accessible.

My goal is simple: for you to leave class feeling stronger, more energized, and with a smile on your face.
