REFORMER PILATES TEACHER TRAINING

*** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY**

Spring 2025 Dates are live and we are taking applications and applicant calls. Please make sure you know the dates and they work for you before booking a call. The call is an interview and a chance to ask questions but not an information session.

A Mat Pilates Teacher Training Certification must be attained before you can apply for the Reformer Teacher Training Program and we may require you to do some bridging sessions in order to be accepted.

Please read through the details of the training thoroughly. Once you have filled out an application you can book an applicant call here. Please come prepared with any additional questions not found on the website. We look forward to connecting and hearing all about your Pilates journey and passion.

*If you do not show up to your applicant call without reaching out to us and cancelling you will not be admitted into the program. You must submit your application prior to booking your applicant call. If you do not fill out an application first your call will be cancelled.

These calls are for serious applicants who are ready to interview us and for whom we are ready to interview to make sure it is a right fit for everyone. Please treat it professionally.

Our reformer training produces thoughtful, skilled, creative and compassionate teachers. Like with our Mat Training we do more than just teach you a repertoire of exercise. We dive deep into the why of each exercise and how to modify for a diversity of students and the different needs they bring.

We prepare our students to think on their feet; to teach group classes and private clients safely and confidently. We employ a variety of different hands-on learning tools to cater to different learning styles. Expect lots of supported practice teaching and integrative learning in this course that runs over several months to let it all sync in.
