About the training

The Most Complete, Time Efficient Path to Certification

The Pilates System is one of the few trainings worldwide that teaches all major apparatus—Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels—in a single, integrated program. Designed by second-generation master Patricia Duchaussoy, it gives you the clarity, confidence, and competence to teach in any studio.

1

Who it’s for

Anyone passionate about movement—whether starting a new career as an instructor or leveling up your current teaching with a unified, holistic approach.

2

How you’ll learn

Three weeks of hands-on, in-person training in a small international group, led personally by Sabrina Vongsuravatana.

3

What you’ll walk away with

Your Completion Certificate, which allows you to start teaching immediately. You will know exactly how to teach Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels as one complete system.

Why the Pilates System

Learn Pilates as One Connected System

Designed by second-generation master Patricia Duchaussoy, this program refuses to treat each apparatus as a separate discipline. Instead, it builds your understanding from the ground up as one connected system. You will see exactly how a Reformer exercise relates to a Matwork principle, and how a Cadillac movement can naturally evolve into a Chair challenge.

What Sets Our Graduates Apart

Our training is structured as a single, continuous system rather than separate modules taught over time. In three weeks, you work through the full Pilates repertoire across all major apparatus, while continuously linking movement principles, purpose, and practical application.

This creates graduates who understand not only what to teach, but how to think as Pilates instructors within a real studio environment.

Meet your instructor

Sabrina Vongsuravatana

Born in France, Sabrina discovered her passion for movement at the age of three, training in classical ballet at the École Nationale Supérieure de Danse de Marseille before completing a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary and Classical Dance in Frankfurt. She danced professionally with the Budapest Dance Theater and London’s Edge Dance Company while completing a Master’s degree in Dance Performance at the London Contemporary Dance School.

When a knee injury ended her dance career, she turned to the discipline that had long supported her training — Pilates — training directly under Patricia Duchaussoy, creator of the Pilates System, and becoming a fully certified instructor. With more than twenty years immersed in movement, Sabrina brings exceptional body awareness, technical precision, and a deep understanding of how to develop confident, skilled instructors from the ground up.

About Swiss Pilates Institute

The Swiss Pilates Institute has been training Pilates professionals since 2010, when it became Thailand’s first structured teacher training academy. Behind it is a studio practice that began in 2001 — meaning our curriculum wasn’t designed in theory, it was built from years of teaching real clients.

We work in the authentic classical tradition, passed down directly from the students of Joseph Pilates, and we’ve kept our standards deliberately demanding. Certification here is examined, not attended.

That’s the reason our graduates are trusted in studios — they were taught by people who still teach.
