Enhance Your Teaching with Reformer Pilates
Ireland's Premier Reformer Specialisation
A carefully crafted pathway for mat-qualified instructors to teach the Reformer with knowledge, skill and confidence. Ireland's only REPs-approved Reformer programme.
You've spent countless hours on the mat studying the history of Pilates, the energy systems and how the nervous system drives movement. Now you're ready for the next challenge – teaching on the Reformer with poise and creativity.
This course is designed exclusively for certified mat instructors who want to deepen their expertise without slogging through material they already know.

Who This Course Is For
This programme is tailor-made for instructors who:
- Hold a recognised mat-based Pilates qualification (EQF Level 4 or equivalent)
- Want to expand into Reformer teaching without wading through basic anatomy and history again
- Seek a framework that blends classical Pilates with modern science
- Prefer a supportive learning environment with other like-minded professionals and mentors
If that's you, you're in the right place.

Success Stories
Hear from our Reformer graduates
“After 15 years on the mat, I wanted to branch into Reformer but didn't have months to spend. The Align-Flow-Empower framework and the community support were game-changers. Within six weeks I'd paid off the course and now teach four Reformer classes a week.”
