Overview

If you were studying Mat, Reformer or Studio Equipment with Breathe Education when the company ceased trading, Body Form® Education may be able to help you complete your training or obtain Body Form® Education certification without disregarding the education you have already completed.
Since the Breathe Education liquidation, we have worked with more than 80 affected students at very different stages of their training.
Some had finished their entire course but never received their certificate. Others were only a few units away from completion. Some had completed substantial practical training, observation and teaching hours but still had theory or coursework outstanding.
There is no single solution that is appropriate for every student. That is why we review each student's previous education and evidence before recommending a pathway.
According to a notice published by ASIC, Breathe Education Pty Ltd (ACN 154 699 019) is in liquidation, with a liquidator appointed on 20 August 2026. Source: ASIC Published Notices, Notice of Appointment as Liquidator, dated 21 August 2026.

Two pathways

How Body Form® Education Can Help

We currently offer two main pathways for former Breathe Education students.

100% of underlying Breathe coursework completed

Pathway 1: Assessment and Certification

This pathway is designed for students who had completed 100% of their underlying Breathe Education coursework but were left without final certification following the liquidation.

You do not need to repeat an entire Mat or Reformer course.

Instead, Body Form® Education recognises your previous education and independently assesses your teaching competency before issuing a Body Form® Education certificate.

For each discipline, this generally involves:

One complete 45 to 50 minute written class plan using the Body Form® Education assessment template
One practical video teaching that same class
Independent assessment of your programming and teaching competency
Detailed individual feedback from Kira-Leigh, Physiotherapist and Founder of Body Form® Education

For Mat and Reformer students, the assessment fee is currently AUD $200 per discipline.

There is no separate certification fee once all requirements have been successfully completed.

Underlying coursework not yet 100% complete

Pathway 2: 50% Breathe Student Completion Pathway

If your underlying Breathe Education coursework was not 100% complete when the company ceased trading, you may instead be eligible for 50% off the equivalent Body Form® Education certification pathway.

This is designed for students who had already made a meaningful investment in their Pilates education but still had coursework, practical requirements or other components outstanding.

Rather than asking you to financially start again at the full course price, eligible students receive:

50% off the relevant Body Form® Education qualification

You then receive access to the complete Body Form® Education curriculum and complete the remaining requirements for Body Form® certification.

Our Fully Online education is self paced, so previous knowledge is still valuable.

If you are already confident in a subject from your Breathe training, you may be able to move through familiar education much more efficiently while spending additional time on the areas that are new to you.

Which pathway applies

What If I Completed Almost Everything?

The important distinction is whether the underlying coursework was completely finished.

For consistency across the large number of cases we are now reviewing:

Your Breathe coursework	Pathway
100% of underlying Breathe coursework completed	You may be eligible for the Assessment and Certification Pathway.
Underlying coursework not yet 100% complete	You may be eligible for the 50% Breathe Student Completion Pathway.

This means a student who reached 90% or even 95% of the previous programme may still require the completion pathway if education remained outstanding.

We appreciate that this can feel frustrating when you were extremely close to finishing.

The purpose of the 50% pathway is to recognise how much you have already invested without Body Form® Education certifying education that was never actually completed.

Your hours and your records

Will I Have to Repeat All of My Practical Hours?

Not necessarily.

Where previous practical experience is legitimate and relevant, we can review and recognise existing:

Observation hours
Self practice
Practice teaching
Practical workshops
Previous assessed teaching experience

Many former Breathe students no longer have access to every historical record because the learning platform became unavailable.

We understand that.

Where appropriate, students can retrospectively complete the Body Form® Education apprentice logbook using the dates, times and activities they completed through Breathe as accurately as they reasonably can.

You then complete any remaining requirements rather than automatically starting every practical hour from zero.

What If I Cannot Access My Breathe Records Anymore?

Send us what you have.

That may include:

Enrolment confirmation
Payment receipts or bank records
Course progress screenshots
Completed unit records
Theory or anatomy completion emails
Workshop confirmations
Practical assessment feedback
Teaching or observation logs
Emails confirming completed competencies
Graduation or course completion correspondence
Screenshots retained from the learning platform

We know students did not expect the platform to disappear and therefore did not necessarily download their complete educational history beforehand.

A missing screenshot does not automatically mean we cannot help you.

We review the evidence available and make a decision based on the individual case.

Curriculum

What Will I Learn Through Body Form® Education?

Body Form® Education is Physiotherapist-led and takes a contemporary, functional approach to Pilates education.

Our training goes beyond memorising exercises.

Students develop their understanding of:

Functional anatomy and biomechanics
Exercise purpose and muscle focus
Programming and sequencing
Cueing and communication
Exercise layering
Regressions and progressions
Injury considerations
Pre and postnatal Pilates
Strength training principles
Mixed level programming
Client management
Practical teaching and observation
Making decisions for the individual in front of you

Our aim is for you to understand not simply what exercise to teach, but why you are teaching it and how to adapt it safely and effectively.

Assessment

How Are Body Form® Practical Assessments Completed?

For Mat and Reformer certification, students prepare a complete written class plan and teach that class as a practical assessment.

Your practical submission is assessed for areas including:

Programming
Exercise selection
Class flow
Cueing
Observation
Regressions and progressions
Injury and pregnancy modifications
Client communication
Safety
Teaching confidence and professionalism

Assessment is not about copying the Body Form® teaching style word for word.

We are looking for safe and competent teaching, sound programming decisions and evidence that you can appropriately teach the clients in front of you.

Detailed individual feedback is provided on formal assessments.

FAQ

Questions From Former Breathe Students

Why Is Another Assessment Required If I Already Completed Breathe?

Because a Body Form® Education certificate carries the Body Form® Education name.

There is a difference between recognising the education you previously completed and Body Form® Education independently certifying your teaching competency.

After reviewing a large number of Breathe student cases, we found that practical assessment requirements differed considerably between different intakes and stages of the Breathe programme.

For that reason, every former Breathe student receiving a Body Form® Education certificate must demonstrate competency against our assessment standards.

This does not mean your previous training is considered invalid.

It means we take responsibility for the certification we issue.

Can I Complete My Training Fully Online?

Yes.

Former Breathe students can choose our Fully Online training where appropriate.

There are no compulsory weekly Zoom classes.

You work through the education at your own pace during your course access period and complete your practical experience locally.

Final written and practical assessments are submitted remotely.

For practical teaching hours, students commonly work with friends, volunteers, local studios or appropriate practice clients.

You do not need to live near a Body Form® Education training location to complete the Fully Online pathway.

What Support Do Fully Online Students Receive?

Questions can be asked directly within the Body Form® Education learning platform throughout your training.

Kira-Leigh personally responds to student education questions and provides detailed explanations where further clarification is needed.

We do not provide unlimited individual video review or ongoing one on one video mentoring throughout the Fully Online programme.

As much as we would love to provide unlimited individual assessment to every student, that would not be sustainable within a teacher training programme.

Individualised teaching feedback is provided through the formal assessment process, with clear guidance where anything needs further development.

What Certification Will I Receive?

Students who successfully complete the relevant requirements receive a Body Form® Education certification in the discipline they have completed.

This is not a replacement Breathe Education certificate.

Body Form® Education is independently recognising appropriate previous education and then assessing any additional requirements before issuing certification under our own name.

Body Form® Education provides professional Pilates teacher training rather than an Australian government issued vocational Diploma.

Individual insurers, employers, professional associations and countries may have their own requirements, so students with a specific employment, insurance or registration requirement should confirm that requirement directly with the relevant organisation.

I Already Teach Pilates. Do I Still Need to Complete the Requirements?

Yes.

Current teaching experience is valuable and may contribute to relevant practical experience, but teaching experience alone does not replace incomplete underlying Pilates education or Body Form® Education assessment requirements.

The same competency standards apply whether you are completely new to teaching or already working within the industry.

What If I Was Studying Studio Equipment?

We can also review former Breathe students who were completing additional apparatus or comprehensive education.

Studio Equipment cases can differ considerably depending on what education and practical training had already been completed, so these are reviewed individually.

Please include as much information as possible about the apparatus training, coursework, practical workshops and assessment requirements you completed.

You Do Not Need to Figure This Out Alone

The Breathe Education liquidation left students at very different stages of their education with very little certainty about what to do next.

Our role is not to pretend those differences do not exist.

It is to look at what you genuinely completed, recognise previous education where appropriate and give you the clearest possible pathway toward completing your Pilates certification.
