What is Fletcher Pilates™ Matwork Licensing Course?

The Fletcher Pilates™ Matwork is based on the foundational concepts and principles of the Pilates method, such as correct alignment, core initiation and articulate spinal movement. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the Pilates Matwork through a focus on the Fletcher Fundamentals™. Our Matwork Licensing Course covers the beginning to intermediate Pilates Mat syllabus, featuring the signature Fletcher precision and Percussive Breath™ technique. Our Advanced Matwork Course is just that - an in-depth review of advanced movement progressions and exercises - incorporating creative Fletcher transitions or “goesintas” for a continuous, flowing workout.
