NicheĀ In-Person Instructor Training: Mat & Reformer Pilates
Ā
Core of Mat Training
- Structure Seamless Transitions: Learn how to build classes that move smoothly from breathwork and warm-ups to elevated heart rate segments. Learn how to avoid abrupt shifts (such as moving from standing to lying down) and use creative sequencing and transitional moves to prevent stagnation (like repeating the same side of tabletop) to maintain dynamic flow.
- Balance Demonstration with Observation: Develop the skill of balancing demonstration with active observation. Cue form clearly while scanning the room for alignment, offering personalized modifications, and using your energy and voice to motivate clients safely to their own fullest potential.
- Keep Classes Creative and Engaging: Design fresh, inspiring mat classes by starting with foundational movements and layering in creative progressions. Sustain high energy throughout the session, then lead participants into a grounded, intentional cooldown to close with balance and focus.
Core of Reformer Training
- Master traditional reformer exercises with proper technique and learn to identify and correct misalignments in form. Build on these fundamentals by layering movements, adding contemporary variations, and developing cohesive sequences.
- Apply the Niche cueing formula for reformer sequences, which emphasizes structural alignment and clarity to ensure easy understandings of movements on and around the reformer and to facilitate real-time correction of form during class.
- Acquire the skills to design reformer classes that flow seamlessly, incorporating props and equipment such as the jump board and box. Structure your sequences to maintain client engagement and sustain positive energy throughout the session.
