What You Need to Know
- You are welcome to mix and match modalities and test out comprehensively or only in the modalities you are most interested in. Mat and Reformer are foundational; all other modalities can be added on.
- You may choose to complete only Mat or only Reformer training and test out in that modality alone. Adding Advanced Reformer is optional. During the test out, you will be assessed only on the modalities you choose to study. We recommend testing out for all modalities at the same time, so waiting to test out until all programs and required hours are completed.
It is beneficial to have at least 20 Pilates classes completed before beginning the training. This is not required if you have prior experience teaching other movement modalities or demonstrate a strong aptitude for teaching. Once you sign up for the training Everbalance will offer you a discounted student rate for your drop-in classes ($25 instead of $39 – you can pay as you go).
- If you complete a test out, you will receive the Certification, however you may begin teaching clients before your Certification is issued.
- If you choose not to take the tests, you may describe yourself as Mixed Method trained but not certified. You may only state that you are certified after successfully passing both the written and practical exams.
- You will be required to complete practical hours between weekend trainings and after the program concludes. These hours include personal practice, observation, and teaching, all of which must be completed and submitted before your test out.
- Everbalance supports you in completing your practical hours. You are welcome to use the studio space and to ask for guidance, feedback, and training partners throughout your training.
The Mixed Method is listed as a preferred Program with NPCP. For those seeking Pilates National Certification our Comprehensive training will be a perfect fit. Once you are Comprehensively certified with The Mixed Method, you can sit for NPCP written exam and receive your NPCP certification upon passing it.
