Description:

In this workshop series, Attendees will learn the classical Reformer order and the ins and outs of all the exercises including setup, movement, reps, and breath. Attendees will then learn how to observe the body of the client in front of them while finding ways to variate from the classical work to give clients of all sizes an accessible and empowering workout while creating autonomy.

Attendees will learn how to make exercises work for their clients instead of trying to make the client conform to the exercises. Attendees will use equipment adjustments and props to support clients and learn how to adjust exercises to make classes and sessions more inclusive. Attendees will also learn when a client is ready for the more advanced exercises and how to challenge clients in even the most fundamental movements.
