Reformer 1 Instructor Training
Taught by Cari Riis Stemmler and Matthew Hodge Rice
Reformer 1 introduces you to the biomechanical foundation of the Pilates method and to the essential components of functional core strength, lumbopelvic and scapular stability, as well as assessing and correcting alignment and improving flexibility. Pre-Pilates exercises are included for teaching these key principles to your clients and classes. Reformer I includes an introduction to the Pilates Reformer, including set up and safety, beginning exercises, program sequencing and teaching tips for group classes. By the end of the course you will be able to teach a beginning Reformer class or personal training session.
Online Requirements
If you are taking this course online, you will need to have access to the following equipment:
- Reformer, Balanced Body preferred. Reformer should be in good working order with appropriate springs. Preferred BB Reformer spring configuration should include at least 3 Red, 1 Blue and 1 Yellow.
- Sitting box with a safety strap; foot loops and handles required.
Note: Our Master Instructors are used to teaching and instructing on Balanced Body Reformers. If you do not have a Balanced Body Reformer; the spring resistance, general feel, and overall exercise experience may vary.
Taking online courses: While we believe there is no better way to learn movement than in person, we understand that online is a good option for many. When taking a Reformer class online, you, and your Reformer, must be completely visible to the instructor, lighting must be good enough to see detailed movement, and your internet connection must be reliable as Balanced Body is not responsible for lost class hours if your connection is unstable.
