Learn a clear, practical framework for breaking down complex Reformer exercises and rebuilding them into accessible, teachable progressions. This workshop explores how multi-part, multi-directional movements can be analyzed, simplified, and sequenced to help clients succeed with confidence. You’ll learn how to identify the foundational movement patterns within advanced repertoire and how to use layering, cueing, and variations to guide clients toward more challenging combinations. Ideal for instructors who want to expand their teaching toolbox, this session provides strategies for creating creative, effective, and safe Reformer progressions for both group and private training.
Learning objectives
- Define what makes a Reformer exercise complex and outline its key criteria.
- Analyze how to implement three key strategies for teaching complex Reformer exercises effectively.
- Simplify complex movements into manageable variations using teaching tips and learning tools to create a clear path for group modification and progression.
- Apply Merrithew’s Fascial Movement Training Variables (Bounce, Sense, Expand, Hydrate) to foundational Reformer patterns to design dynamic, adaptive movement sequences to create safe, engaging classes that feel fresh and purposeful.
- Integrate mindful movement skills that help participants translate Reformer exercises into everyday functional movement.
