— ONLINE CERTIFICATION COURSE
Mat, Anatomy & Fascia Training
Physio-integrated, fascia-informed certification, designed
to make you the most prepared instructor in the room, not
just the most certified.
NEU Pilates is accredited by:
THE GAP MOST TRAININGS LEAVE
Most Pilates training teaches you the exercises. Very few teach you the body behind them.
There's a difference between knowing what to do and understanding why the body moves - and what to do when it doesn't. That gap is where confidence lives. Or doesn't.
IF YOU'RE BRAND NEW
You want to start right - not spend years filling in what your first training missed.
Most foundational certifications teach sequences and cues. Neu Pilates teaches you the anatomy, the fascial system, and the physiotherapy principles underneath every exercise - so you understand your clients from day one, not year five.
IF YOU'RE ALREADY TEACHING
You know the exercises. You want to understand the body behind them at a deeper level.
When a client has pain, or moves differently, or
doesn't respond the way the manual said - you want to know why, and what to do. That clinical layer is exactly what this training adds.
"There's Pilates and then there's understanding the body well enough to change it. This training is the second thing."
WHAT THIS TRAINING IS
Where physical therapy and Pilates converge.
The Neu Pilates Mat, Anatomy & Reformer Certification is built from 17 years inside three integrated physio and Pilates clinics, where Jen Gulley (PT, FCAMPT) and Lara Yanik worked side by side with 20,000+ clients and learned what instructors actually need.
Every exercise lesson is taught twice. Lara cues the movement from the Pilates perspective. Jen explains the physiology: muscle timing, fascial loading, nervous system response, and what to watch for when the body isn't cooperating.
This is not a certification that checks boxes. It's a training that changes how you see every body you'll ever work with.
The best instructors don't control the body — they collaborate with it. That starts with understanding it.
Co-taught: PT perspective + Pilates perspective
Every exercise includes both lenses - the movement, and the physiology underneath it. You understand the why, not just the how.
Fascia integrated from the first module
The Neu Fascia Method is woven through the entire course - not added as a bonus. Release tissue before asking it to perform, and your clients feel the difference immediately..
Built for real bodies, not ideal ones
Pain, postpartum, hypermobility, aging, post-surgery. Every population has a dedicated clinical lens - not just a modified version of the standard protocol.
Designed for a real life
All lessons are 2-8 minutes. One concept at a time. Complete in 2-3 months or take the full year. No firehose weekends. No "dedicate everything to this."
SIX AREAS OF STUDY
Clinical-level understanding across every dimension of teaching.
Not a checklist of exercises. A genuine foundation in how the body works, and how to work with it.
Anatomy & Postural Assessment
The foundation everything else builds on, taught the way a physiotherapist actually uses it.
- Muscle groups, timing, and recruitment patterns
- How posture is created and how to change it
- How emotion and nervous system state show up in the body
- Postural analysis you can apply from your first class
Neu Pilates Principles
The method behind every Neu session: the framework that makes each exercise more effective.
- Breathwork and deep muscle activation sequences
- 8 proprietary space cues that create immediate alignment shifts
- Lengthening vs. bracing: why the distinction matters clinically
- How to layer the principles into any session format
Mat Repertoire
Every exercise taught from beginner to advanced, with a clinical lens on every single one.
- 60+ mat exercises with physio analysis and red flags
- Modifications for injuries, postpartum, hypermobility, aging
- Muscle timing and fascial loading for each exercise
Teaching Confidence
The piece most certifications skip: how to actually be in a room with a real human body.
- How to hands-on cue safely and effectively
- Teaching groups vs. privates: the real differences
- Class planning and sequencing from scratch
- How to assess and adapt in real time
The Neu Fascia Method
The part that makes clients say "I've never felt my body work like this before."
- How fascial tissue holds tension and restricts movement
- Release techniques that prime the body before loading it
- How fascia connects to nervous system regulation
- Integrating fascia into mat, reformer, group, and private formats
Business & Certification
Everything you need to turn your training into a practice, not just a credential.
- How to position yourself in a competitive market
- Building a sustainable teaching schedule
- Certification exam preparation and next steps
- Where Neu grads work and how the training opens doors
Results that speak for themselves...
"I was able to help my clients when they had pain. After taking the NEU Pilates course my caseload increased and I was able to help my clients when they had pain and discomfort in certain exercises! I felt like I had tools to help them! That was a game changer for me for teaching Pilates."
"I genuinely feel that this is one of the few courses that has impacted my career in such an incredibly beneficial way - personally. Thank you for teaching this old dog some new tricks and empowering me to empower my patients in their pursuit of optimal health."
WHO THIS IS FOR
Whether you're just starting or deepening what you already know, this training meets you there.

BRAND NEW TO TEACHING
Start with a foundation most instructors spend years trying to build.
You don't have to learn the choreography now and understand the body later. This training gives you both at once, so you teach with confidence from your first class, not your fiftieth.

— Directly applicable to pain, postpartum, hypermobility, and rehab populations
— Recognized in physio clinics, boutique studios, and franchise settings

What Our Graduates Say
"Once I learned that Neu Pilates was created by both a Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor I knew that I had come to the right place. I believe the integration of the physiotherapy theory and Pilates movements plus the addition of Massage Therapy creates such a unique experience for my patients."
"I chose NEU Pilates to elevate and refine my teaching skills. After being an instructor for various fitness styles for over 5 years now, which include yoga, barre, sculpt, and Pilates, I began to feel somewhat stagnant in my ability to provide students with advanced knowledge and heightened body awareness."
"My experience with NEU Pilates during both Springboard, Mat and Reformer courses was beyond exceptional. Lara’s energetic teaching style is relatable and inspires students to enjoy the process of instructing. Jen’s years of physio practice also shines through in a cool way."
"My Pilates journey started in 2019 with STOTT pilates with training up to advanced level in Mat and all equipment (Cadillac, Reformer, Barrels and Stability Chair) and while it was all amazing there was still a gap for me, something was still missing."
