100h Anatomy, Apparatus, Cueing & Class Structure
This 100 hour training is the direct path into Reformer teaching. No detour through a Mat training, no prior knowledge required. You learn the Reformer from the ground up: anatomy, movement principles, work on the apparatus, cueing, and class structure.
In three compact intensive blocks, we teach you everything you need to teach safe, thoughtful, and varied Reformer classes. In a small group with limited spots.
Discover the contentWith this intensive training, we give you the tools to improve your posture and body awareness and to teach safe Reformer classes. The YTTP approach combines classical Pilates principles with modern movement science. You not only understand how exercises work, but why. This gives you the confidence to adapt classes to the situation and to develop your own teaching style.
No prior knowledge of teaching Pilates or the Reformer required. Open to everyone who wants to teach Reformer: movement professionals, career changers, personal trainers, physical therapists, or Pilates enthusiasts without a training background. What matters is interest in movement, the body, and teaching, the rest comes with the training. It is an advantage to already have 6 months of experience in your own practice.
Part 1
One week that changes everything. You get to know the fundamentals of the Pilates system, understand the movement principles behind the Reformer, and develop a first feel for the apparatus and your body. We work through anatomy, alignment, the classical Pilates principles, and initial exercise sequences. A compact, intensive introduction that everything else builds on.
Part 2
Now it is time for the Reformer. You get to know the repertoire systematically: the spring system, work with the straps, positions, transitions, variations. We teach you classical and modern sequences and work on cueing, class structure, and precise language. You will teach, observe, and correct yourself.
Part 3
Two intensive days to consolidate what you have learned. You teach, get direct feedback from the instructors, and further develop your teaching. This phase prepares you specifically for the final exam. It also includes the flexible completion of your hours for self practice and observation in the studios.
Part 4
Your practical final exam. You show what you have learned: teach a full Reformer class, demonstrate anatomical understanding, and show cueing and corrections. Upon successful completion, you receive your YTTP Academy certificate as a Modern Reformer Fundamentals Trainer.
