We are proud to be a Mentor studio for Breathe Education. After having gone through both Cert IV and Clinical Diploma, I recognised the exceptional quality of education given to graduates about Movement and Pilates. The teacher trainers of Breath Education are all highly intelligent and experts in their fields, relying on evidence based practice and in turn this provides Breathe graduates with an education that is second to none. Breathe Education's strength lies in their ability to create Community connections after graduation, continuing the support, empowerment and education of their graduates.

I keep coming back for Breathe Education courses, having completed the Cert IV Pilates Instructors course, the Anatomy 101 and other short courses and being now enrolled in the Clinical Pilates Diploma. As an experienced teacher I have high standards when it comes to education, and I have to say that Raph and his team do a great job of setting up the learning environment so it is effective and a pleasure to be part of! Online courses that have been developed by necessity this year are also impressive, with plenty of very practical demonstrations, supported by clear explanations and the opportunity for interactivity - thus they are excellent learning tools. Congrats to Raph and each one of your supporting team who have been doing such a great job of engaging with sensible, rational facts supported by relevant and current research and bringing the results to the lucky participants!

My time learning at Breathe Education has been one of the most positive experiences of my life. What I value the most is that once you complete your training you're still very much apart of the Breathe community & it's that connection to your peers & teachers that is priceless. Thankyou Breathe Education! You guys changed my life!!

I was looking to gain a deeper understanding of anatomy so when I saw the course, Intro to Anatomy Physiology and Biomechanics, I thought I would try it. The weekly webinars are very educational along with the supporting materials that Raphael provides. I am a very tactile learner so I was apprehensive of doing an online class but Raphael has brought out his skeleton to demonstrate different certain points and again his powerpoint is simplistic. Thank you Raphael for providing this course.

A wonderful online course, giving students an opportunity to brush up on previous knowledge as well as learning lots of new interesting stuff! Raph Explains key scientific findings and shares his knowledge on biomechanics and anatomy in a way that is accessible for everyone :) Highly recommend :)

I completed a Clinical Pilates Diploma with Breathe Education. Raphael and his team are very generous, selfless and supportive while sharing their vast knowledge and experience. I have done many courses during my Pilates career but none compares to my experience with Breathe! The quality of the material and the skilful way it is presented made it easy to apply in my work. Excellent value for money! I would highly recommend Breathe Education; their continual support of their students is just admirable. Maja Whitworth

Thank you so much breath education for your amazing courses. I’m very happy I joined in. Raphael is a great educator, the way he explains everything makes it so easy to understand. I have done many pilates courses in other countries, but this one has been amazing. Thank you so much!

While I have only just started my Cert IV, I am already so impressed with the organisation of the company, the anatomy knowledge from Raphael has been mind blowing. I studied anatomy as a part of my last degree and I have learnt way more from the way he teaches. The trainer led classes have been fantastic as well, the trainers are so super supportive and knowledgable. Looking forward to the next few months Tegan

I recently singed up to a 6 week anatomy course held through Breathe Education. I thought the content was great, they didn't overload you with too much information and they left a decent amount of time to ask questions. Would definitely recommend Breathe to others.

Brittany Kohler

Could not recommend more - Raphael and team went full steam ahead to bring Pilates teachers and anyone who wanted to join an in-depth anatomy course. It was so well planned, laid out, and very welcoming.

Andrea Lloyd

I studied to become a Pilates Instructor with Breathe Education over 5 years ago now. My learning experience then was one I will never forget, the educators were so engaging and knowledgeable. The wonderful thing about Breathe Education is they don't stop offering assistance and advice once you have completed your course, they are there for you along the way. Since the completion of my course I have done numerous workshops with them and am currently doing a Live course on Zoom, Anatomy, Biomechanics & Physiology (seriously loving it!) which is run by Breathe Founder & CEO Raphael Bender. Raph knows his stuff, his knowledge astounds me, he is right across it all and shares this knowledge with such passion, explains things so succinctly and makes the learning experience such fun, you just want to soak up as much information as you possibly can. Thank you Raph and the team at Breathe Education, it's been and continues to be a blast :-)

I've been working in Fitness for over 30 years including roles as an international trainer and presenter in Group Fitness. I hold a cert IV in fitness, and now a Diploma of Clinical Pilates - as well as a TAE. I'd completed pilates course prior to Breathe, but found Breathe deliver a more "whole - istic" (misspell intended) to pilates. What I love is that Breathe provide the science behind why they teach us the way they do, and show you how to research stuff for yourself. They encourage you to be curious, and to challenge rather than just accept. The level of course information is high, the faciliators professional and so giving of their time. Their courses prepare to you so well for success in many opportunites in the industry. I now work at Physiotherapists doing rehab work, as well as in studios teaching group classes, and my own small group of clients that I train one on one, or in small groups. But, I love that they show they care about you and your success way past completing your courses. I was recently given the opportunity to partake in the new anatomy content - for free as an already qualified Breather - and to be given the chance to upskill by Breathe was invaluable. Anatomy - whilst I love it - is tough to remember when you don't use it all the time, and this refresher and upate was timely and also, helped to geet my creative juices flowing in differnt ways. When people ask me who they should do their pilates course through, I always recommend Breathe.Thank you Raph and all the guys at Breathe.

I did my Cert IV with Breathe and am now doing the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics course and have absolutely loved it. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into teaching evidence based practice and the instructors are amazing and are always happy to help.

Raphael Bender's presentation of his Intro to Anatomy Physiology and Bio mechanics has been superb. The information presented is clear, easy-to-understand and Raphael provides an engaging, inter-active learning environment with participants from across the globe. He injects real life examples into his training modules which helps the participant assimilate the information being taught.

I have been attending the online Intro to Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics online workshop with Breathe Education. I have found the teaching outstanding, Raphaels' knowledge is inspiring and I have gained so much valuable, appropriate and effective information. Highly recommended.

Meech Aspden

07:14 09 May 20

I took the anatomy course through zoom and it was brilliant. Raphael has a great lecture style and makes the material interesting - not too technical but also not too basic either. He’s also very patient with answering all questions. The ppt slides and session recording are shared with all participants afterwards so if you missed something you can reference back. Highly recommend this course for all fitness professionals.

Magdalena Trofin

Raph, the business CEO, is a down to earth person and his personality and values are reflected in all aspects of the business. The courses are practical with immediate application in the real-life environment while keeping a high standard of the knowledge presented. I have attended different courses through Breathe Education and there is clear evidence of constant renewal and innovation. In-line with the newest scientific discoveries in human movement their courses present up-to-date, curated information. I highly recommend Breathe Education as a leader in Pilates education.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of anatomy. Yet Raphael makes it accessible, interesting and, dare I say, fun in his Intro to Anatomy course. He is generous and incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring as a standout presenter and expert. Thank you.

As a beginner in the pilates world and looking for a stronger foundation i was able to understand and learn clearly at a achievable pace with Ralph.Reinforcing and learning through his usage of slides, real life body references and the skeleton model was a good balance and I really appreciated the opportunity to take the anatomy course!

I have only accidentally stumbled across Raphael Bender's Breathe Education Anatomy online workshop on Facebook and I must say, I am very glad I did. Raphael put so much great effort into the visualisations and explanations to make it easy to follow. He is a true inspiration. Thank you so much for putting this amazing anatomy workshop's together!

I completed my Cert IV with Breathe Education last year and found it to be a fantastic course. I learnt so much and at the right speed too, not too fast or slow. Felt very supported along the learning journey and they also have a great fb page, other additional learning postings and workshops. Would highly recommend with a big 'thumbs up'.

Breathe Education provide a top quality, up-to-date with the latest science Pilates course. The Perth teachers for the face to face components of the course (Rachel and Pippa) were extremely knowledgable, helpful and are wonderful teachers. Breathe also have a fantastic Facebook community that continues to inspire me with continued learning (often for free). I have been nothing but impressed with my Breathe experience highly recommend their training.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Breathe Education. I received a very thorough education in my own Pilates certification program but Raphael and his team brought it to the next level. I'm truly amazed at how how Raph can make what seem to be complex concepts very intuitive and help me better understand so much more about my clients. Thank you!!

Laura Diaz

04:26 08 May 20

Breathe Education has been one of the most fun, interactive, comprehensive and encouraging learning experiences I have ever had. I like that there are constant studies being evaluated to help educate us on how the human body functions. Every one of the staff I have had the pleasure of interacting with so far, have been so lovely and helpful, and it is obvious that they all passionate about their chosen field. For me, that speaks volumes and also has helped me to engage in my own passion for Pilates! I couldn't recommend Breathe Education enough, seriously. It's awesome!

Breathe Education launched me right into the Melbourne Pilates scene and I do not regret the Cert IV, Diploma, workshops and side courses I have undertaken with them. Raph and all the team are so encouraging, keep it real, support and genuinely care about what they do and who they share their knowledge and life lessons. My experience with them made me fully realise this was absolutely the right new career path for me and I could not have opened my business or be so well connected without them. Raph has such a passion and way of explaining anatomy (and most anything really) in such a clear way, it's impossible to not learn from him (despite the occassional "nerd out" moments he has hahaha). Love the lifelong friends, industry and ongoing support network that has come with making one of the best decisions in my life. Thank you Breathe :)

Amanda Durham

03:59 08 May 20

Breathe Education have looked at the exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, and looked at current science about exercise, guidelines for exercise, and how this applies to various co-morbidities and age groups, and developed courses to impart the practical application of Pilates as a whole body exercise. The Diploma of Clinical Pilates was exceptional. The CEO Raphael Bender has created this knowledgeable, inclusive, caring and generous team. The current COVID-19 crisis is a good example where they have worked tirelessly to continue all education, and make innovative ways for each student to continue PLUS for graduates have facilitated meetings and webinars (zoom) to inform, connect and encourage a way forward through this crisis. Raphael always goes above and beyond, and the whole team reflect this. I cannot recommend Breathe Education highly enough!

I can not recommend Breathe Education enough; they have super helpful, supportive and incredible in the courses they offer. I recently completed my Certificate 4 in Matwork/Reformer in Perth and the instructors I dealt with both in person and over the phone were very friendly and nothing was too hard. The courses themselves are very interactive and the information is up date; to the point that if there is no evidence to support what we are learning anymore than they adjust the course so it is relevant - this happened during my course which to me showed how hard they work to endeavor their client/students are gaining the best knowledge possible. This is great company to learn new techniques or train for a new career with. Will definitely continue to learn with Breathe now that I am teaching!

Amazing teachings for anyone interested in truly having it all make sense. Finally we have a platform of delivery that is not overwhelming and paints a picture in your memory to remember more than I’ve ever before had from any other training. I’ve done so many courses with delivery never covering enough of the why? You need the how and the why and the engagement with the ability to reflect and review. This course doesn’t miss a thing...It’s clear yet not overwhelming. Enough drip fed information in each session to retain and from week to week compiled in an order that leaves you excited for the next weeks lesson. I highly recommend this educational training and courses to anyone, and so happy to have trusted and found this. I can’t wait to invest in more knowledge for myself and my clients. Best online with live interactive fully supportive training I’ve ever entered into. Value for money, exceptional lecturing with clear teachings to suit all learning styles.. All notes to download means no taking your own notes and risk of disengaging. I’m simply loving this course.. ❤️ thank you Raph 🙏🙏Leisa DawnNorth Qld Australia 😊

I decided to take advantage of the lock down period and take part in an anatomy course run by Raph from Breathe Education.

Breathe Education is such a wonderful place to learn about Pilates, the online learning is super easy to follow and the quiz's to test your learning are super straight forward!! I have completed Certificate IV in Matwork and Pilates in 2019 and I am now completing the Diploma of Clinical Pilates. The recent transformation of all Breathe Education's learning from part online and face to face, to now all online due to COVID-19 has brought the course to a brand new level of resources and learnings!! I am expanding my knowledge every week and it will spread out my course load giving me the opportunity to do my practical hours all by scheduling in online classes each week!! The Trainer Led Classes have been the most wonderful transformation, I now get to learn from Breathe trainers all over Australia and I can join in as many as I like. My teaching is being brought to a whole new level and I'm learning how to be super inventive with props from the home cupboard and at home options to replicate the equipment we would normal use face to face. If you were ever thinking about undertaking training in Pilates now is the time, jump on board you won't regret it!!!!

I was nervous to start my journey into becoming a Pilates teacher. My Certificate IV was led by wonderful, passionate teacher-trainers who made anything seem possible, and helped me to find the confidence that I needed. Underpinning the course was a strong foundation of evidence-based approaches to moving and learning, all wrapped up in a philosophy of movement positivity.

He is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable teacher, who can communicate the subject clearly and make it easily understood. As a student you feel comfortable in asking any question, knowing it will be answered thoroughly. There is a wealth of additional resources offered also.

I highly recommend Breathe Education for everyone who want's to deepen their knowledge and understanding of a Human Body. I recently took "Intro to Anatomy Physiology & Biomechanics "with Raphael Bender and can't be more pleased! I like the fact that lesson are recorded and I can watch in my own time zone, since I live in U.S . I have been teaching Pilates for over 10 years, and always learning something new, which is pretty fascinating! Presentations are easy to understand, even for someone who never took any Anatomy training, so it is a great start for beginners, and since you work with other people, you definitely are able to connect with them, ask questions and be part of the whole learning experience, with is pretty cool in my opinion. I also love to fact that knowledge is presented in a clear, simple way, not too boring ...also not too anatomical, "imagery" cues are my favorite. One of My favorite quote is: " Understand that, when you can make a picture of a muscle in your mind, you can figure out its action":-) With BE you will definitely improve your teaching skills, become more confident and stay up to date with new research, which in our industry I have to say, it's pretty crucial for growth and success! I'm going to continue my education with Breathe Education, and planning to register for Anatomy of the Hip soon!Thank you Raphael!In good health! Gosha

I live in the USA and now, during the closures for Covid-19, I came across an online course/series of workshops, (I’m not sure exactly how to define the amazing presentations), being offered by Raphael Bender of Breathe Education. As a Pilates teacher I am always interested in learning anything new that might help me with my clients, (or even my own body).With the time difference, the start is 10PM for me. I decided to sign up and do the first session and if I wasn’t interested could always cancel. Needless to say, there is now one night a week that I stay up late!!Thank you so very much for all the information you are sharing and I love the fact that you are open to discussion. The fact that you take the time to explain clearly what was mysterious before, and even after the session is over will stay online is much appreciated. My only experience has been online and it has been fantastic.

I'm really loving my online anatomy course with Breathe Education. I'm finding Raphael is very clear and easy to understand and takes his time explaining the different aspects of the course so I now feel I have a very good understanding of Anatomy for Pilates. And even though I'm living in Ireland, I still feel part of the group of Pilates teachers attending the course. And can ask questions anytime and know that Raphael will get back to me. I highly recommend Breathe Education and will be doing other courses with them after this one.

Breathe's approach to teaching and learning is evidence based and experiential.

I am so happy with my choice to study at Breathe Education. Becoming a Pilates instructor expanded my qualifications in the fitness industry and opened up more employment opportunities. I found the qualifications to be up to date with the latest scientific evidence in pain, exercise programming, and motor learning.

I also appreciate the support that I have received as an alumni, with opportunities provided for ongoing professional development. I highly recommend Breathe Education.

What I’m enjoying the most is the constant exuberance from the educators in continually engaging in their own learning so they can ensure to pass on the most relevant and current information. Constantly looking for ways to make the learning experience more accessible, taking on feedback and updating how they deliver instructions to support their students making the most of the learning environment. Well done Breathe Education for pushing yourselves to reach further so your students can do the same.

I am so happy I chose Breathe Education to complete my Certificate IV in Pilates. The trainers are kind, knowledgeable, patient, motivating and provide constant support throughout the entirety of the course. Best decision I’ve ever made! Thank you Breathe!

If you’re looking for a place to learn all things Pilates and to gain a nationally accredited qualification as a Pilates Instructor, then Breathe Education is the place to go! Structured, engaging and super accessible to study at your own pace, I found BE to be the right environment to gain my certificate. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, the environment is so supportive and fun and you come out of it with confidence, skills, on-going support and current industry-related knowledge to help you in your career as a Pilates Instructor :)

Both Cloe and Raphael are so well versed in not only Pilates, but also anatomy, physiology and working with people. The skill sets they are sharing are far more valuable than any curriculum alone (although the courses themselves are fantastic!)From a qualified and experienced health practitioner, I couldn’t recommend Breathe Education enough!

I could not recommend Breathe Education highly enough! The whole experience to getting my certificate was amazing! I was left feeling inspired and couldn’t wait for the next face to face weekend to come! Also the support during and after the face to face sessions was awesome 🤩

From the moment I made the call to Breathe I was sure pilates was for me. After the phone call I felt comfortable and happy with my choice. I completed my instructor cirt and loved every minute I spent with my class. The teachers were epic and super attentive. I was so happy I signed straight up for my clinical diploma. Game on let the good times roll.

Absolutely loved every minute of learning through breath and took away so much knowledge and feeling confident to start teaching. Cloe was hands down one of the best teachers with so much passion to share

I traveled from NZ to Aus to complete my Cert IV with Breathe Education and it was the best decision I have ever made. The training is practical as well as giving you the base theoretical knowledge you need to teach students. I finished the course feeling ready to teach and have been successful getting teaching jobs ever since I completed my training. 10/10 would recommend to all!!

I completed my CertIV Pilates and Dip. Clinical Pilates and could not speak more highly of my experience. The training is incredibly well structured and supportive. The team consists of some of the most outstanding teachers in the industry and Breathe Education continues to support me in my development as a pilates instructor. If I had to do my pilates teacher training again, it would 100% be with BE!

I undertook the Certificate IV in Pilates with Breathe Education in 2014 and the Diploma of Clinical Pilates in 2016. The skills I learned from their highly professional and knowledgeable team lead me to open my own Pilates studio in 2018. I remain close to and continue to learn from Raph and the team at BE. I could not recommend them highly enough.

Loving the experience at Breathe. The teachers are incredible, the space is very cool and super comfortable with excellent quality equipment. The culture and philosophy at Breathe has opened my eyes to the pilates world and I'm super excited to start absorbing myself into pilates - both personal practice and teaching. Highly recommend!!!

This place is centrally located and very convenient for going before or after work, and even popping into the city on a Saturday as it's near Flinders Street Station. There is a variety of classes at convenient times. The place lacks soul. Nobody speaks to you. The reception staff ignore you, the teachers do their bit then run straight out of the room so you can't talk them then hide in the staff area. This environment then seems to have bred a culture where even the other clients go out of their way to ignore anyone else around them. I know that you have to focus on yourself, but it is rather extreme here.The female changing facilities at Collins Place are mediocre. It's just a small room behind a curtain off reception. No lockers, no individual changing rooms and it gets very crowded most of the time.

Brilliant- Better than ANY physio I have been too and the best Pilates and I have been to many. I have had spinal surgery and several operations on my Achilles and these guys are AMAZING. I cannot recommend them enough. Especially Kirby Cameron. You are a god send lady.I am more than happy to provide this endorsement and happy to speak to anyone thinking about joining.

Very impersonal, from scanning yourself in to leaving nobody greets you or engages in a conversation. Teachers were pleasant but you had no time to interact with teachers before or after class. There is no sense of community or belonging at Breathe.

2週間なんと30ドルで8回体験レッスンできます！スタジオの内容も充実していてインストラクターの方もプロフェッショナルで満足できます。お茶とリンゴは無料でうれしいサービスですね。メルボルンにお越しの際はぜひヨガで癒されてください。

I really like the Pilates reformer classes here. It's very easy to book on my phone and staff are very friendly. They helped me book to next class when I was late for my yoga. :)

This place demands that you attend minimum of 6 beginner’s classes before you are allowed any other classes irrespective of previous experience. This is very strange and a direct contradiction to what has previously been communicated by Breathe. As the beginners classes are very far and few in between (and apparently books up weeks in advance) it means there will be very limited access to yoga and pilates. A beginner’s class will also offer very little value to anyone that is not a beginner. Enquiring about this and seeing if there was any way it was possible to work out a solution was met by an incredible offensive attitude from very unhelpful staff. The staff did not try to find a solution; it was more like a “if you don’t like it; GET OUT!” kind of attitude. It baffles me that a place with staff with such bad attitudes can stay in business. On a positive note I am very pleased that I discovered how terrible this place was before actually signing up for anything.

Yes pilates may not be the cheapest form of stretching but I'm hooked on this lovely studio and its teachers going on 3 months now - an oasis in the city where I get to forget the outside world one class at a time.
