Hybrid 140 hours Mat Pilates Teacher Training in Puglia, Italy
Travel to Puglia, Italy for a transformative Hybrid Mat Pilates Teacher Training Oct 17 - 23, 2026 — a journey where embodied learning meets the sun-drenched charm of Puglia’s historic and scenic charm.
This immersive 7-day in-person experience unfolds among ancient olive groves, limestone villages, and rolling fields, offering the perfect environment to deepen your practice, refine your teaching voice, and reconnect with the essence of movement. The remaining training modules are completed online, allowing you to integrate, study anatomy, sequencing, and methodology at your own pace — blending destination immersion with sustainable learning. That’s the beauty of hybrid.
Stay in a restored villa surrounded by Mediterranean gardens and olive groves. The space offers airy rooms, shaded terraces, a pool, a shala and an open-air movement deck — ideal for sunrise and golden-hour sessions.
Puglia holds a quiet, timeless magic. White stone villages glow in the sun, olive groves stretch endlessly, and life moves at a slower pace. It’s a place where clarity returns and the body remembers how to move with ease.

Explore anatomy, biomechanics, and functional movement

Guided by Matea - Mat, Reformer & Yoga teacher.
Matea’s lifelong journey with chronic illness led her to discover the transformative power of wellness and movement. She began practicing Pilates at the age of 18, and it became a tool for both her physical, mental and emotional well-being. Through movement, she cultivated a connection to her body that had often felt out of reach while navigating illness throughout much of her life.
In her early twenties, while attending university, Matea completed her first Pilates teacher training with the intention of deepening her personal practice and understanding of movement. What began as a path of self-discovery quickly evolved into a calling. Upon starting to teach, she discovered a profound joy in sharing practices that had supported her own healing journey and brought greater vitality, presence, and happiness into her life.
For over eight years, Matea has taught full-time in studios, trainings and retreats. She is also the co-founder of M-TT helping to educate and inspire the next generation of movement teachers.
Her teaching approach blends conscious movement with an integrative and functional perspective. Drawing from biomechanics, fascia-focused movement, and mindful awareness, she explores fluidity, spiral patterns, spacious opening, coordination, stability, and mobility to cultivate fascial elasticity, resilience, and longevity. Her classes emphasize intelligent, connected movement that supports both strength and freedom, encouraging students to move with greater ease, awareness, and confidence in their bodies.
It is not simply a certification.
It is a recalibration.
A return to strength with softness.
A step into teaching from embodied intelligence.
