Please note: Pilates Mat is the basis of the Pilates Method, so Mat is required to move on to the Reformer Program. Reformer is required before moving on to the Comprehensive Program [Cadillac, Chairs, Small Apparatus]. National Pilates Certification Program requires Comprehensive Program completion prior to testing to be an NCPT.
