Pilates Reformer on The Mat

This Teacher Education Program is ideal for experienced Teachers who would like to learn the exciting new trend “Reformer on the Mat.” He we use the sequences from J.H Pilates Reformer Machines and translate them into patterns on the Mat.
It is an excellent way to gain new classical content for your mat class while staying true to the Pilates legacy. If you want to entice clients from the mat onto the machine, look no further. It gives your mat group clients a sneak preview of what your private clients enjoy when doing a private on the Reformer with you.
