Why I am giving Breathe such a low score is because as an Alumni I have witnessed and read acts and materials that are really concerning for prospective students. It speaks more to the values of the school.My suggestion is that do your research and study somewhere truly inclusive. X

I can not be more grateful to the team at Breathe Education for helping me to learn how to support my Pilates business during and after covid lockdowns. The open and honest advice and support has helped my family and our children continue to support ourselves financially through a time like no other. (If you are a small business owner in Victoria, Australia you know exactly what I am talking about) Doing my certV at Breathe directly influenced my ability to run a steady virtual pilates platform and then teach mat and reformer face to face in times when we have experienced our entire team go down with covid. .I can not be more grateful to them for a course that meant I could actively and openly share, support my team and my clients and remain afloat.

BE have chosen to purposely discriminate and isolate marginalised groups within the Pilates community. The views and actions of the CEO are harmful and no longer represent those of their alumni. I would consider speaking with Pilates professionals and the BE alumni before enrolling in any of their programs.

I loved every week learning with breathe education. I feel that I have not only been given the highest level of knowledge, but they have supported me every step of the way. They have given me the confidence that I need to succeed and believed in me when I didn't. I could not recommend breathe enough.

I would highly recommend the Breathe Education course. I have learnt how to be the type of pilates instructor that helps clients achieve success in their bodies, whether this is a beginner, advanced client, prenatal client or injured client.

The Pilates Experience & Physiotherapy Studio

I just completed the 2 part Diastasis recordings (couldn't attend the live webinar) and I have to say that I really clicked with Raphael. His background, knowledge and delivery is excellent in helping me to retain his prepared and taught information. My background is a BSc., Hons. in Biology, I have worked 3 decades in Medical/Dental Device sales and surgical support and I now run my Pilates studio full time after a Covid related downsizing. The way that Raphael shows people how to learn and retain information is exactly how I have always done it, visualize the muscle insertions etc. and you will remember it. We all learn a little by vision and a little by auditory, there is no one specific way to learn but a combination of a few strategies. The content in this 2 part webinar is very useful and I will be able to implement it into my Pilates classes as well as my Physiotherapy Program. Many of Raphael's strategies are commonly used in Sales (eg. SMART), and I have used these in medical sales during my career and continue to use them in daily life (you know what I mean if you have kids, lol), and also with my clients. The fact that he includes the links to the clinical studies gives him the credibility needed to teach this course but also gives me peace of mind knowing that the evidence exists and where I can find it should I want to read it. I have always been the type of person that you have to show it and prove it before I believe it, and having clinical evidence to support his views goes a long way. Raphael's quick wit and humour keeps it entertaining as well. His analogy of the airline crew not panicking during turbulence keeping the passengers calm is an example of Practitioner beliefs influences client beliefs, very funny but gets the point across. It is my hope that I will be able to do more of his courses in the future as I do see a benefit, after 4 lockdowns in Ontario Canada we are slowly trying to rebound so I am very appreciative of this course at no charge as well as his IG posts. We can always learn something new and if it helps me to get my business back on track, even better. Thank you Raphael.

Such an AMAZING community to be a part of, trainers are so supportive and invested in your success. My knowledge, love and passion for Pilates has grown even more thanks to Breathe Education.

I couldn’t be happier with my amazing experience with Breathe and my spectacular instructor, Emily. The learning methodology to increase motor learning through building confidence, giving choice, and external cues will set me apart from other instructors and will allow me to teach with confidence and knowledge. I highly recommend this Pilates Instructor course through Breathe Education if you want to be a confident, knowledgeable, fearless movement instructor!

Breathe has been the best qualification I have done, the layout of the course, the tutors, the other students - all absolutely AMAZING! Made to feel safe and included from day one, the knowledge the team holds is unmatched, 110% would recommend to ANYONE and EVERYONE wanting to study pilates. Seriously the best of the best!

Erin McCabe

Definitely recommend. Key learning goals were met and trainers were super invested in our success and our career paths taking off! Anyone looking around at different Pilates certificates can stop their search because this one is top notch.

I have just recently completed the 20 week certificate IV in Pilates.I know it has been said over and over again but this truly has been a life changing experience for me. Firstly I have never owned or operated a laptop before and had never been on Zoom. So as you can imagine I was extremely hesitant about proceeding with a course that is completely online. Secondly, I was very nervous about being the oldest in my group and would I have anything to offer or would I make any connections. The thing about Breathe is that all of these worries end up not even being a thing. The support team are outstanding and can guide you through any technical problems and the course is designed in such a perfect way that you never feel too overwhelmed because of the way it is distributed over 5 modules.It really doesn't even matter if you are a beginner to the pilates world, you are so supported by the amazing lecturers and they truly want you to succeed , as Raph would say "shout out to Hailey Hawkins".Lastly the connections! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being in week 20 and so emotional. I have met some of the nicest kindest and supportive people ever and that has by far been the best part.Not sure what I am going to do next Tuesday now?

I completed my Cert IV of Matwork and Reformer Pilates with Breathe Education. I cannot recommend Breathe highly enough. I felt so supported throughout the entire course by both Breathe trainers and the whole BE community. I feel incredibly well prepared (and excited!) to start teaching Pilates. The whole online learning structure was set up for our success and understanding and each instructor really has such a breadth of knowledge. I loved this course so much that I've signed up for the Diploma and am very happy to keep expanding my own knowledge with Breathe!

Such an amazing experience! Loved every single minute of it. All of the trainers were so welcoming and encouraging and there wasn't one thing that was unclear to me. The course structure itself is very easy to follow and there is choice for times etc. Well done to all November 2021 students, you will kill it out there!!

Had such a blast completing this course. The trainers are amazing, delivering the content in such a fun way! The online nature makes it easy to balance with everyday life, whilst gaining skills and the confidence to teach Pilates in the real world. Loved every minute of it!

After speaking to countless pilates schools I could not be happier that I signed up with Breathe Education!!!The course content is second to none using only the most recent research which leaves you mind blown. The deep dive into the traditional Joseph Pilates repertoire challenged me to move in ways I had only dreamed of in my own personal practice #fearlessmovement! The structure is so manageable, even with a busy life you find yourself 'doing the thing' and stand back one day thinking 'wow I am industry ready' in what feels like a blink of the eye!The online delivery is incredible... it allowed me to move countries half way through my course and still stay connected with the Breathe Community and on track to finish my qualification on time.Lastly, the trainers and the support team... wow wow wow!! You will not find a more supportive and motivating team out there. They truely want you to succeed and leave no one behind!Thank you Breathe... bring on the diploma in the future!

studying with breath education has been a life changing experience for me. not just in regards to having world class Pilates education and training, but training in other areas to help me communicate effectively with my students for their best results and knowing i have the confidence in evidence based movement to keep my training and teaching up to date at all times, ensuring my students are receiving the best possible care and functional movement that i can provide them with. going forward i have no hesitation or doubt in my capabilities or capacity as a Pilates teacher, and i can credit that to the way the course was delivered and developed.

Breathe Education was recommended to me by a friend and I am so thankful that she did! I would have never thought that an online course could feel this personal, encouraging and motivating! I loved every bit of it!I have done my accredited Certificate IV in Pilates - Matwork & Reformer. When I started the course I only had a couple of months experience in Pilates. I was worried that there would be much more experienced people than me and that I would be already behind from the very start but it was nothing like it ! This course is for experienced professionals and Pilates "newbies" alike. It is so much more than "just" learning the original exercises. The evidence based approach and extremely well structured course has transform me into a confident Pilates instructor who is not afraid to take on her first job and just smash it and get people moving :) Fearless , Inclusive, Up-to-date and soo much fun!Can´t wait to do my Diploma in Clinical Pilates with Breathe Education!

Georgia Robinson

I've absolutely loved my experience with Breathe! The course is structured to address so many important and sometimes difficult topics, though in the most supportive and inclusive way. I've loved learning online with all of the incredibly kind and knowledgeable instructors and was blown away by the friends I made with course mates. I'll be looking into getting my Diploma, as I loved the experience and would love to do it again and dive even deeper! Thank you again to the team at Breathe, you've all made this a very memorable and enjoyable experience <3

Breathe education not only boosted my confidence personally but also professionally. The layered learning about all things repertoire, cueing, programming, working with prenatal & injured clients and finding your own voice was AMAZING. All the modules were evened out perfectly to make it easy to understand & the teachers had so much knowledge and drove us all to success. Thank you so much for being the start of my journey and a huge shout out to Belinda for being the superstar that you are and believing in us all 💕

I am so grateful that I decided to complete my Pilates Certification with Breathe Education. The course encompasses content that is evidence based and best practice, with instructors who are approachable, encouraging and embody inclusivity. I also found that the course structure allows you to absorb and get a good grasp of the learning material which helps build confidence. The best learning experience I have had to date!

Highly recommended! The educators at Breathe are passionate, knowledgeable and fun. Love Pilates elephants and all the Pilates myths being properly explained. Thoroughly enjoyed learning online with such a fab crew and have felt supported the entire way through my course. I know that my career as a Pilates instructor is backed by excellent education and training. Thank you Breathe!

BEST COURSE EVER!I’ve just completed my 20 week course with Breathe Education and it’s honestly the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s easy to understand, educational, the instructions are helpful and so incredibly good at what they do. In previous Pilates courses I’ve done its usually made out to be this serious, daunting thing that is super hard to do well at but Breathe made me relax about it a lot 😂 I highly recommend for anyone that is wanting to upskill or learn the amazing world that is Pilates. Thank you so much

I couldn’t recommend Breathe Education more if I tried! I’ve recently wrapped up my Cert IV and I’m genuinely sad that it’s ending.I have made some awesome friends in my fellow students - who are some of the most friendly and welcoming people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Breathe have truly created such a nurturing and supportive environment, not just with fellow students, but the trainers too.I was lucky enough to have Hailey as my main trainer throughout the course. Her passion for pilates, and her dedication to teaching shone through every single tutorial. I felt so supported, confident and really seen - which is so important in a course, but especially so in an online course. It’s so easy to be lost in the background of a Zoom call, but Hailey made sure we all received the attention, advice and knowledge that we needed to be able to succeed as instructors. Hailey truly set us up for success at the start of every tutorial, so that when it came to assessments I think I can speak for all of my fellow students when I say that we felt ready and confident - knowing that Hailey had our back and prepared us so well.In saying that, every teacher at Breathe is incredibly special in their own way - Sharrman and Belinda were amazing for our lectures, and all the trainers who I joined for masterclasses live or online (special mention to Emily’s external cues and unreal programming!!).I’d rate Breathe 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Thank you thank you thank you!

Just finished my 6 month Pilates instructor course with Breathe education and what a ride it has been. The training is all online but so comprehensive and easy to follow. I love that it is evidence based and they keep up to date with all the latest research. The trainers are amazing, each and every one of them, they share their passion and are so supportive. And having fellow students to share this journey with, even online, has been such a pleasure. If you want to become an instructor, this is the place to do it!

Raphael's book "Strengthen the person, not just the body part" is bloody fabulous. As a new grad and even a client, we are slammed with so many outdated concepts, nocebo approaches and even systems and technical models that are just so disconnected from each other, which is rough! However, the book is a simple approach to learn the fundamentals of not just movement principles, but also how to care for people by building and maintaining a strong clinical rapport. Not all of what we do is fancy exercises, equipment and knowledge of conditions; it's also to be able to hold space for others, listen, care, communicate and get people to believe in themselves!Thanks for filling the healthcare space with a brilliant tool that advocates for simplicity, connection, care and meaningful coaching!

I was drawn to Breathe over another provider and im glad I listened to my gut. It's been one hell of a ride....all good of course. The support of the Tutorial teachers is next level. I felt safe and secure in my tutorials to ask questions and learn. Compassion was given by my tute teacher Emily when constructive criticism was given after assessments...to help lift all of us up as we learn to become our authentic selves as instructors with so much new info. My peers were very beautiful vibes girls and I've walked away with new friendships.

Such a great course! Being online didn't inhibit the learning at all- if anything I feel it made it better, as we were embedding learnings over a longer period. I thoroughly enjoyed completing my cert IV with Breathe and have learnt so much. I loved how practical and tangible the learning modules were.

I could not fault Breathe Education. The learning platform is second to none and the trainers are exceptional, not only in their course delivery but in their care. I made so many like minded friends along the way. I would highly recommend Breathe Education to any one wanting to be a pilates teacher. I loved the science based curriculum.
