I began the Breathe program shortly after having completed my Balanced Body Reformer classes, having come upon it while student teaching at a Breathe based studio. I loved the large, powerful moves and how rapidly my strength increased over the course of my 10-pack commitment. I decided to train in Breathe as well. I found the educational platform to be excellent, simple, straight forward and common sense. Meeting and teaching others worldwide was a very enjoyable experience, and I learned and gained a comfort level quite quickly. I plan to teach breathe style classes in conjunction with my others at my studio in Northern Wisconsin. I am also recommending a potential instructor go through the program as well. It's a dirty shame they will be closing it down. Breathe-what are you thinking!?

I really enjoyed the structure of my Pilates course, with teaching from the get-go it allowed me to build my confidence immediately. The online zoom workshops were always something to look forward to, where you teach and be taught at a time convenient for you. It gave an insight as to where the course goes and you really are part of a community. The structure of teaching layers and repeating clusters with added challenge, exercises worked really well, As we deepened our understanding of the moves, we developed our observation skills and the ability to add appropriate challenge for those in our workshops.Great instructors and students made the course a lot of fun, and I now feel confident to get out and start teaching! :)

Just do it !! My life has completely changed, I’m so thankful and excited about what I learned. I can’t wait to grow my career and see my future thanks to breathe !

After full hysterectomy surgery, I started recovering my fitness conditioning in a slow and steady manner blending my prior training in Yoga with Pilates. Yet, it was the Reformer that helped me get my full strength back - and then some!Most importantly, I reclaimed my SELF and reset my fitness career with Breathe Education. I knew that to get through this stage in my life, I had to stay accountable and show up consistently to a regular routine.Taking the Certification course gave me a place to deepen my self care - and on that same thread - provided a whole career pivot that enhanced 30+ years of fitness teaching skills. I feel that I can now confidently teach Pilates Mat & Reformer classes in an inspiring, functional, and systematic way. Breathe gave me the structure needed to enhance my communication, teach clients with varying abilities, and a practical reproitoire to create amazing, fun, and powerful classes.My favorite part of Breathe has been the Teaching Workshops where we can practice what we are learning in virtual live sessions with other trainees and coaches that provide feedback and skill building. I am especially grateful to Mary who was truly the greatest cheerleader and trainer who offered consistent coaching during my learning journey and helped inspire me with her positive attitude, encouragement, and structured support.I couldn't be happier with my choice to certify through Breathe.

Great programme, very supportive instructors/observers. It gave me great confidence in doing my presentations and improved my skill as an instructor. Feedback given when doing the zoom teaching is great and very helpful. I have really gained an insight into what I have been doing as a participant for the past three years. Highly recommended as you can do it at your own pace within 12 months.

Overall breathe was a great program! It took me a full year to complete, balancing 4 young kids, and all of my other roles and responsibilities in life; but I feel confident as an instructor and currently run/co-owner a successful Pilates studio! Breathe gave me all the tools to succeed during the course and after as a studio owner and instructor.

Breathe Education has provided, without question, the best learning experience I have ever had.After a previous Pilates training experience left me feeling underprepared, I was looking for a program that would truly give me the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to become the best instructor I could be. Breathe exceeded every expectation.What sets this program apart is the quality of the education and the incredible feedback. Learning from multiple instructors was invaluable—each brought a unique perspective, fresh insights, and thoughtful, encouraging feedback that deepened my understanding and helped me grow as a teacher.The video library is outstanding. Every lesson is well planned, easy to follow, and available to watch repeatedly, allowing concepts to really sink in. Being able to revisit the material has been an incredible learning tool.One of my favorite parts of the program was training alongside classmates from around the world. Learning with people of different backgrounds, personalities, and experience levels created a rich, real-world learning environment and helped me become more adaptable and confident as an instructor.This program is clearly rooted in science, thoughtful instruction, and a genuine commitment to developing exceptional Pilates teachers—not just helping students earn a certification.I am incredibly grateful to the entire Breathe Education team for creating such a supportive, professional, and inspiring learning experience. I would recommend this program without hesitation to anyone who wants a truly comprehensive Pilates education.

Aliyah Khougaz

1784006372

I'm so grateful for my experience with Breathe and couldn't recommend it more.When I started this course, I was terrified of standing up in front of people, teaching, and public speaking. By the end, I had the confidence to teach with boldness and truly believe in my abilities.The online classes created such a supportive community, and learning alongside my peers made the journey so enjoyable. My teachers were incredible—they guided me every step of the way with encouragement, thoughtful feedback, and genuine care, which helped me grow so much as an instructor.You can truly see the passion everyone at Breathe Education has for Pilates, and it's inspiring. I now feel excited and confident to go out and share everything I've learned with others.Thank you, Breathe, for giving me not only the skills to teach Pilates, but the confidence to step into this new chapter. I couldn't recommend this course more highly.

If you're looking to gain confidence and practice week by week, rather than an intense and perhaps exhausting 3-5 day workshop, you should consider this program. Also, the schedule works for you, not the other way around!

Incredible learning facilitator. You teach small groups online whilst being observed live by a teacher, with instant feedback.The information and the way it is taught is very methodical and works like Lego with each cluster being a building block and you can create lots of different sequences by using different clusters.You leave feeling confident and with so much knowledge. The teachers are amazing, with so much knowledge and so kind and patient and very encouraging.Highly recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was hesitant at the beginning because it looked almost too good to be true with all the glowing reviews, but it turned out they really were just that good.I recently completed my Pilates certification through Breathe Education, and I couldn't recommend them more highly. The course was incredibly thorough, well-structured, and easy to follow, with a perfect balance of theory and practical application.The educators were not only knowledgeable and supportive, but also incredibly warm and genuinely invested in helping every student succeed. The relationships built throughout the course felt personal and meaningful, creating a learning environment where I always felt encouraged and valued. Even the workshops I initially dreaded ended up becoming some of my favourite parts of the experience, and surprisingly, they were what I missed most once the course was over.Breathe Education's approach to teaching Pilates is professional, modern, and comprehensive, providing a strong foundation for anyone looking to build a career in the industry. I'm so grateful for the skills, knowledge, and confidence I've gained through this certification.If you're considering studying Pilates, Breathe Education is an excellent choice.

The learning process with Breathe is so supportive. From week 1 you begin teaching others which I found the best way to get past the feelings of anxiety about teaching itself - there's nothing like just jumping straight in! I had doubts about whether I could complete the course entirely online but the way it is structured makes it so achievable and actually enjoyable. I will miss the weekly workshops!

I couldn’t recommend Breathe enough!

The course is structured to give you a step by step guide that compound the necessary skills without being overwhelming or over facing, giving you real confidence each week in your teaching workshops!The online coursework covers prenatal, injury and anatomy. Most important the instructors are so knowledgeable, supportive and approachable, making the journey really enjoyable!A huge thank you to the Breathe team!

Avoid Breathe Education! They have deceptive pricing & zero Integrity. Breathe is a dishonest and predatory business. They do not have a standard price for their courses; instead, they take as much money as they can get away with and offer zero transparency in return. Do not trust them with your money or your career.I was charged $6,900 for this course. I have since confirmed that other students in the same program were charged as little as $3,300 without any promotions or special offers. It is a scam to charge one student nearly double the price of another for the exact same units. To make it worse, those paying the lower fees were given more resources, while I was restricted and denied access to the same materials.Ive spoken with students who enrolled the same time I did and they too were charged a much lower rate than I was!I spent days going back and forth with Julie and management, giving them every opportunity to fix this clear case of discrimination. They didn’t care and gave boilerplate excuses and flatly refused to address the massive price gap.Go to a school that actually treats students with equity and respect. Save your money and go elsewhere. I wish I did!To suggest that I have "gotten what I paid for" is dismissive and factually incorrect. As of right now, I still have no access to very important course materials, and I have since been removed from the online platform entirely. Limiting my resources further.The unethical nature of these discrepancies and the total failure in administrative integrity and student support leaves me no choice but to warn others about these practices and encourage them to choose a different school.My entire Pilates training experience is now tainted. The lack of understanding and accountability from both Julie and Raphael has turned what should have been a professional advancement into a deeply negative experience for me.

I just finished my Certified Pilates Instructor course with Breathe Education, and I’m thrilled with all the great knowledge I now have. The course and its instructors provide everything you need to be a successful Pilates instructor for ANY client that walks into your class—beginners, advanced students, prenatal clients, post-injury and chronic pain clients, and anyone in between.I also feel like a successful Pilates “client” myself, after all the practice. I truly fell in love with Pilates all over again.I’m leaving this course equipped with the skills I need to create class programming in advance and in-the-moment, adjusting for client needs on the spot.In this course, you’ll feel simultaneously challenged and nurtured every step of the way, as the instructors and your fellow course mates cheer you to your finish line. I feel completely ready to teach! Thank you, Breathe Education!

I cannot say enough good things about this program. I started with no fitness background and was so nervous about if I could really do this. The way the program takes you step by step, gives you access to amazing trainers, and best of all- real teaching experience, sets you up for success! I loved getting to meet others just like me from around the world!

I don’t know where to start, because the entire program to become a Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor stands out for how complete it is. We don’t just learn the Pilates repertoire—we also dive into its history, understand what makes movements challenging, and explore important topics like pain, injuries, prenatal considerations, and anatomy.What truly sets this course apart is that it goes beyond knowledge: it teaches you how to teach. And you have so many opportunities to practise—through teaching sessions, and learning alongside peers—which really helps build confidence and real skills. All of the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and the sense of community throughout the program made the experience even more special. This is coming from someone with no prior teaching nor fitness industry background. I hesitated for months before enrolling, unsure whether I would be able to succeed. But with consistent effort and commitment, I completed the program in six months and now feel confident in my Pilates teaching skills.

Breathe Education 100% prepared me to be a highly effective evidence-based mat and reformer Pilates teacher. I can now confidently and fearlessly deliver group classes that appropriately challenge all clients and progress them in strength, range of motion and skill. Plus, I have an incredibly fun time doing so! I am in awe at how effortlessly I transitioned from teaching my peers in the regular live online teaching workshops (a key part of the Breathe Education model) to teaching in person in the studio. It was seamless! The Breathe Trainers are deeply knowledgeable, passionate and skilled and will challenge you to bring your A-game. The Breathe Education curriculum and teaching framework is both highly intelligent and extremely practical. I can now confidently create classes that cater for all clients including those experiencing pain, injury and pre-natal and post-natal clients. I feel really empowered to provide awesome, super fun and extremely effective Pilates classes that get my clients the results they are after.

I cannot express enough how amazing this course is! The last 6 months has been helped me become a knowledgeable and confident mat and reformer instructor. From the amazing course work, which is so easy to follow and progresses with such art, to the breathe teachers and all their exceptional guidance and knowledge.

I am so happy that I chose Breathe for my journey to become a Pilates instructor. I used to be a Pilates instructor and a performer in my home country, and I was very confident in my skills. But after migrating to Australia, becoming busy with other work, and not feeling confident with the language—since English is my second language—and because my Pilates style was different, my confidence decreased.During this course, I really appreciated the flexibility of studying while working, the ability to learn at my own pace, and the continuous feedback and encouragement I received. Now I feel completely ready to start my Pilates journey here. I have regained my confidence and I am excited to combine my previous experience with all the new skills I’ve learned.I want to say thank you to Breathe and all the trainers for their encouragement and incredible knowledge

The teaching approach is exceptional and gave me the skills, confidence, and clarity I needed to teach effectively

The team are incredibly patient, supportive and understanding, which makes a huge difference. I felt well supported throughout and would highly recommend them.

Doing my Pilates certification with Breathe Education was such an incredible experience! The educators are phenomenal — so knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about what they do. I loved that everything we learned was science-based and grounded in evidence, which gave me such confidence in my understanding of movement.The online format was super easy to follow and gave me the freedom to move at my own pace. And the best part? The community doesn’t end after certification! Breathe provides incredible ongoing support and connection through their online platform and inspiring resources such as the Pilates Elephants Podcast, helping you continue to grow long after certification.Thank you so much to the entire team at Breathe for everything you do! ✨

I was no teacher when I started the Breathe Reformer and Matwork Certification. But with the guidance, the ability to take it at my own pace and the amazing training workshops where you meet like-minded people, learn to cue and observe and are guided by such knowledgeable trainers I am now fully qualified and starting a new career in an area I love. You’re going to love this, and you will have no regrets starting this journey with Breathe.

Absolutely loved training with Breathe. The course was super detailed and informative and allows you to move at your own pace. I started in April 2025 and have just graduated in September 2025 - love the whole process as well as the amazing trainers.

BREATHE offers comprehensive Pilates training and has prepared me well for a job in the industry. The trainers are supportive and provided me comprehensive feedback throughout the training program. Would recommend BREATHE!

If I could give 10 stars I would! I knew I was in good hands when I joined Breathe after friends highly recommended the course to me BUT the truth is it exceeded any expectation I had. The guidance, expertise and genuine care given by the whole team made this experience so much more enjoyable. I was juggling parenthood, being self employed full time and study for the last 12 months and not once did I feel like I couldn’t get it done. Working at your own pace with the support you receive really makes it worthwhile. Thanks Breathe, as elated as I am to be finished - I’m sad I won’t be immersed in the Breathe world as much as I was the last year!

My main goal for enrolling in the Breathe Education Mat and Reformer Certification course was to deepen my understanding of evidence-based Pilates, enhance my ability to confidently teach both mat and reformer classes, and build a solid foundation in biomechanics and motor learning to better serve a diverse range of clients — including those with injuries, prenatal/postnatal needs, and performance goals. I wanted to gain both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to elevate my teaching, create inclusive programming, and support clients in moving with strength, confidence, and autonomy.

I had a 98% positive experience with Breathe. Great Content, great format, only thing to be weary of (at the time I am posting this) the live teaching classes are mostly in the middle of the day for AEST. Other than a few, which worked well for me but may not suit everyone.I struggled with the communication between the enrolment meeting and actual course. The onboarding person promised things that could not occur when I spoke to trainers (this was important to me when I enrolled). The trainers were helpful and it all worked at in the end, but if there are certain requirements you need be sure to double check and ensure they are actually possible. That being said, the person that did my onboarding was very pushy and I didn't feel I could take time to make my decision (lucky I was happy with my decision..) - this is more of a personal preference.I love that they can offer payment plans and was a key in being able to sign up to the course! The course is self paced, it meant that I could put as many hours I wanted to into the course, meaning I was able to complete it quite quickly as I had the free time too.- there are zoom classes you have to attend but you can pick and choose what suits you. There is a good mix between pre recorded and activities (I personally would like more hands on live or written tasks - but thats just how I learn). The online portal is easy enough to follow and there is a big group chat where you can communicate with peers and ask questions when needed - I found this really important for me to connect with others.It's pricey but I Would recommend.

So beyond grateful for everything I learned with Breathe! I finished the program feeling confident and excited for my next steps in the Pilates world. Breathe Education is thorough and has a vast amount of resources/lectures as you move through the course. Shoutout to all the teachers but especially Donna Barber - she is incredible, motivating and very knowledgable. Also shout out to all my amazing classmates - the program has a beautiful set up to connect with people all around the world. Would totally recommend to anyone looking to certify.

I cannot say enough about how well thought out this training program was put together and executed! Love, love, the BE instructors, training with peers around the world, and all the coursework. I love the emphasis on the original Joseph Pilates mat and reformer repertoire, layering these exercises throughout cluster programming. Finally, LOVE how I have been trained to empower Prenatal and Pain clients to do Pilates!!

The Certificate is a fantastic in-depth teacher training course. I had previously completed training with another provider but I wish I had just chosen the Breathe certificate to start with as they are night and day different. The regular practice teaching sessions are invaluable and the approach of using clusters and layers ensure you are ready to start teaching. The course provides enough theory on injury and pregnancy to give you confidence teaching everyone. All the trainers are excellent - extremely knowledgeable and supportive.
