One Exercise, Many Possibilities

Not every exercise suits every body, and one of the most valuable skills a Pilates teacher can develop is knowing how and when to adapt.

This practical Reformer Masterclass explores how small changes to familiar exercises can make movement more accessible, effective and appropriate for different clients.

Rather than simply replacing exercises, we'll look at how to retain the original movement objective while adjusting the demands placed on the body.

What we'll explore:

Adapting exercises for different abilities and experience levels

Modifying range of movement and body positioning

Using spring tension to assist or challenge movement

Adjusting Reformer setup and equipment

Working with common movement restrictions and musculoskeletal conditions

Progressing and regressing familiar exercises

Understanding when an alternative exercise may be more appropriate

Through hands-on exploration, you'll discover how one exercise can offer many possibilities and develop greater confidence in adapting your teaching to the individual.

Every participant has their own Reformer, providing the opportunity to experience and compare different adaptations.
