YTTP Modern Reformer Fundamentals Training
This 100-hour training is your direct path to Reformer teaching. No detour via Mat training, no prior knowledge required. You will learn the Reformer from the ground up: anatomy, movement principles, apparatus work, cueing, and class structure. In three compact intensive blocks, we will teach you everything you need to instruct safe, well-designed, and varied Reformer classes. And it's all limited to just 10 spots.

What to expect?

In Short
What you learn
The YTTP approach combines classic Pilates principles with modern movement science. You will understand not only how exercises work, but why. This gives you the confidence to adapt classes to specific situations, guide participants individually, and develop your own teaching style.
