A fundamental Pilates training program utilizing the Universal Reformer developed by the late Joseph H. Pilates over 80 years ago. This course is designed to give fitness, medical and wellness professionals the basic knowledge of Pilates exercises and general Pilates philosophies for use on the Pilates Reformer. The reformer trainging program is broken down into levels.
Reformer 1
The beginner reformer program consists of exercises appropriate for newcomers or for those teaching Reformer Group classes. Students will learn over 85 exercises for beginner through intermediate taught during this intensive 2-day format. Machine set up and safety, exercise progressions and regressions plus hands on teaching skills make this one of the most comprehensive teacher training programs available. Postural assessment and alignment will be addressed throughout the course as the fundamental principle behind the exercises. Students will be given enough information to teach a beginner/intermediate Pilates Reformer session or group class but emphasis is also placed on developing teaching skills, hands-on training competence and postural self-improvement for demonstration purposes.
