All Level Mat Pilates Comprehensive Workshop Details

Most Mat certifications cost $1500-2000 plus additional $350+ to take the final exam. In addition to a high financial burden, Pilates Mat certifications require a big time commitment. The typical certification requires several full or partial day education sessions (upwards of 30 in-person hours) and hours of observation and teaching to pass.

We are dedicated to making PILATES certifications more affordable and time efficient for all. The PILATES FLOW by PILOXING Mat Pilates certification is a one day in-person education workshop with a self-study component. In this all level (beginner to advanced) course you learn everything you need to know to confidently begin teaching this Mat Pilates format during your one-day training and self-studies. It will teach you the foundation of the mat exercises with a heavy focus on technique and cueing. You will learn the rationale behind the methodology of Joseph Pilates’ Contrology, as well as ‘why’ we perform each movement in a precise way to get the best results.

Your small course fee of $445 (early bird pricing available) includes:

• A photographic and video comprehensive online training manual pertaining to PILATES FLOW by PILOXING® Mat Module #1
• A one day in-person training with a PILATES FLOW by PILOXING® Master Trainer who has undergone a rigorous intensive Pilates Flow training certification with PILOXING® Founders Viveca Jensen and Cortney Gornall

She is a professional dancer with a degree from the internationally renowned Stockholm Ballet Academy and later studied under Billy Goodson in Los Angeles. Her dance career spanned commercial dance, hip hop, jazz, musicals, commercials, industrials, music videos, and concert tours.

Viveca started her fitness career as an aerobics instructor teaching weekly classes in health clubs and at Paramount Film Studios. She instantly fell in love with group fitness and it loved her back. Her classes were always full and always fun.

Viveca holds a certification in International Pilates and learned her skills straight from the lineage of Joseph H. Pilates himself studying under Ivon Dahl, 2nd generation Master Pilates Instructor.  She has since developed her own Pilates method incorporating her expertise in dance and trains celebrities, athletes and fitness enthusiasts in her exclusive Pilates studio, V Pilates Fit Lab,  in LA for the past 22 years. Viveca also offers Pilates certifications to instructors in her unique method.

In 2009, Viveca combined her three favorite exercises – Pilates, Boxing and dance - into one unique, effective and fun workout. Her mission was to empower people – both physically and mentally. She had the winning formula — the PILOXING workout was born.

In 2008 she opened the PILOXING studio in Los Angeles which was an instant hit and in 2009 she founded the Piloxing Academy to educate fitness instructors in the Piloxing format. Since, then more than 25,000 instructors have been certified in one or more of Viveca’s four group fitness formats and her company is an international leader in group fitness programming and licensing. Viveca has spent the past four decades sharing her passion to lead a healthy lifestyle and inspire greatness in people. Sharing this passion has changed thousands of lives.

Client Testimonials

"I have had the privilege of having Viveca as my Pilates trainer for over 12 years. Since I moved away from LA about 2.5 years ago, we’ve been training together over zoom and I am so thankful for that. Viveca has an incredible knowledge and intuition about what your body needs, and working with her doesn’t only make you physically strong but also keeps you in a positive mindset. I am 44 and have never felt stronger or happier in my body. Viveca challenges me and always keeps me motivated. She’s the best!" ~ Mini Anden (Supermodel)

"I have been training with Viveca for close to 20 years and she has literally changed my life. From my mid 30’s, through my 40’s and now into my 50’s Viveca has helped me build strength, flexibility, and grace. The result has been not only physical transformation but also developing a new level of confidence from the inside out. And even after 20 years, Viveca continually challenges me, helps me grow and pushes me in ways that make me stronger than ever." ~ Meilan Stark
