Reformer On-Demand Teacher Training
Through the lens of anatomy and an understanding of the various forces acting both within and on the body, students learn not only the Reformer repertoire, but also gain the knowledge of how to adjust that choreography to truly tailor workouts to meet the individual needs and goals of their clients.
For every exercise, we discuss the joint range of motion and muscular participation involved based on body position, plane of motion, and the type and direction of resistance. Students will learn how to modify the repertoire for everybody (and "every body"), from beginner to advanced clients. The basic Pilates principles of control, awareness, and breathing will also be demonstrated in every exercise so that our students (and their future clients) can deepen the mind-body connection.
This is a 150-hour program that includes lecture, observation, physical practice, and practice-teaching. Students must pass a 2-hour Practical Exam with a score of 80% or higher to receive their Natural Pilates Certificate of Completion.
