The Core Mat I program is the foundation of the Power Pilates method. Each subsequent program builds upon the information learned during this course. During this 3 day training you will learn to teach the 18 beginner level mat exercises and be introduced to Power Pilates teaching tools, philosophy, and teaching formula. 

Early in his career, Joseph Pilates noted the characteristic of weak abdominals among the ballet dancers of the New York City Ballet. He didn't feel that the traditional standing barre routine addressed (but rather contributed to) this deficit. He built the "Reformer" as his "superior" supine version of barre exercise to allow better strengthening of core abdominal and lower extremity musculature. Regardless of access to more expensive Pilates equipment, the physical therapist can easily use aspects of Pilates floor/mat work and incorporate Pilates props to activate weakness in the abs, pelvic and shoulder girdle.
