About the Course
This workshop provides existing level 3 Pilates instructors with the skills and expertise they need to construct and deliver an effective, high quality Advanced-level Dynamic Reformer Pilates class or 1-2-1 session.
In this workshop, attendees will develop their existing Reformer Pilates teaching skills by exploring the benefits of linking exercises in ways that will challenge their existing advanced clientele. Attendees will learn how to incorporate exercises that develop both neuromuscular strength and functional flexibility into their teaching, developing the expertise required to help their clients move more effectively and efficiently.
Rather than relying on teaching techniques that provide little stimulus and more resistance, attendees will learn to create a dynamic three phased session plan, that will better support the progress of their client, and their progress as a teacher – taking their teaching skills to the next level in their career.
