What Does It Mean to Teach Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is in high demand—but what exactly is the reformer, and what does it really mean to move on this iconic piece of equipment?

In the Authentic Pilates method, every reformer exercise created by Joseph Pilates serves a specific purpose. Each movement has a reason, a goal, and a precise place in the sequence to bring about a full-body transformation.

This mini workshop dives deep into the foundational reformer exercises. We’ll explore the why behind each movement, uncover the logic of the system, and reveal how even the simplest exercises can challenge the body in profound ways.

What You’ll Gain:
If you’re comprehensively trained: You will expand your understanding of the reformer’s role in the full Pilates system and discover nuances to refine your teaching skills. Expect greater confidence and fluency in your teaching.
If your training is reformer-only: You will discover the deeper magic of Pilates within the reformer system—and understand why the reformer became the method’s most iconic tool. Expect to level up your teaching and your connection to the work.
For students: You will gain clarity on what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. You’ll leave with a new appreciation for the method and start experiencing more from every workout. Expect to leave with a renewed joy of this amazing method.
