Reformer can be taught in both a Group and Private setting, and involves similar principles to the Matwork.
Over 6 months and 180 hours, you will be equipped to teach in a real-life group or Private environment.
This pathway is here to inspire YOU as you are drawn to the original Classical Method while honouring normal human variation (we’re all different).
Are you already certified or simply passionate about deepening your Pilates practice?
