Intensive Reformer Teacher Training
IThis is not just a course — it's the beginning of a teaching career built on depth, confidence, and community. Over seven immersive face-to-face days, combined with flexible online learning, you will gain the knowledge, practice hours, and ongoing support to teach reformer Pilates with real expertise.
This hybrid programme blends the best of both worlds: the intensity and connection of in-person training with the flexibility of self-paced online modules you can return to again and again.
About the programme
The Intensive Reformer Teacher Training is a hybrid method designed for movement professionals who want to go beyond the basics. Whether you are a Pilates practitioner looking to make the transition into teaching, or an existing instructor wanting to deepen your reformer knowledge, this programme gives you the tools to teach with authority.
The face-to-face component runs from 10 to 16 August — seven consecutive days of hands-on learning, peer practice, and guided teaching. Before, during, and after those days, you will have access to a comprehensive self-paced online library covering everything from anatomy to specialist populations.
What you will learn
The curriculum covers the full scope of reformer teaching, from classical foundations to contemporary approaches, and from general sequencing principles to working safely with specialist populations.
Everything that's included
The course fee covers far more than the seven days themselves. Here is what you get from the moment you enrol.

Flexible digital modules covering anatomy, specialist populations, and theoretical underpinning — learn at the time and pace that works for you.Hands-on support before and after
You will not be left alone once the in-person days are over. Direct support is available before the course to help you prepare, and afterwards as you start to put your teaching into practice.Ongoing mentoring
