INTENSIVE REFORMER – IR
Intensive Reformer - IR
This Intensive Reformer (IR) course is conducted over 3 weekends. It teaches students how to design and instruct Level 1 (Essential and Intermediate) reformer workouts in personal settings for a range of clients. Some group programming on the reformer is also covered. You will leave with a solid foundation and required skills to develop effective and motivating Pilates Reformer programs. While IR may be taken prior to IMP, we recommend completing IMP first.
