Reformer Pilates Class Plans for Cyclists, 5 Flow Bundle (PDF)

A cyclist walks into your studio with tight hips, a back that rounds over an invisible set of bars, and a glute that has gone quiet. You want a class that speaks to that body, not a generic flow with a "great for cyclists" sticker on it.

Reformer Flows for Cyclists is five complete, ready-to-teach reformer class plans built from the ground up for the cycling body. Each flow targets a specific signature of riding: the hips the saddle keeps shut, the under-used glutes behind the pedal stroke, the single-leg control of an even cadence, the rotation and lateral strength the bike never trains, and the upright posture that holds deep into a long ride. Every exercise carries a "Why for Cyclists" note in plain language, so you can tell a client exactly what an exercise does for their riding.

Written for newly-qualified and working Pilates instructors who teach people who cycle.

THE FIVE FLOWS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Open the Front. Hip-flexor length and thoracic extension. The first flow to teach any cyclist.
• Glute Power and Posterior Chain. Wake the glutes the quad-dominant rider under-uses.
• Single-Leg Control and Pedal Stroke. Even out a one-sided stroke and track the knee.
• Rotation and Lateral Balance. Restore the planes the saddle never asks for.
• Full-Body Integration and Upright Posture. Hold the position mile after mile.
