regarding form teaches movement education, exploration, and empowerment. We believe passionately that physical intelligence is an undervalued, vital skill that supports a full and rewarding modern life. Through this lens, both as teachers and teacher trainers, we encourage individuals to cultivate their own unique and informed movement practices. These practices should be gratifying, productive, and durable, and facilitate a positive relationship with moving one’s own body.
We approach the Pilates Method from a contemporary angle, offering a discipline that is highly adaptive for any practitioner’s specific needs and goals. Our approach to Pilates is not an exclusive one. We also strive to shepherd the Pilates legacy with care and reverence for its early iterations. With these goals in mind, the re:form Pilates Teacher Training offers immersion in the traditional form of each exercise, as well as the tools to rework choreography creatively in deliberate, functional, and impactful ways.
This training consists of a 140-hour Applied Anatomy and Pilates Mat module, which may also be completed as a standalone certification, followed by a 160-hour Reformer module. Students are methodically prepared to teach Pilates in a variety of different environments at a highly professional level — from boutique fitness studios to private practices, and beyond.
