Reformer Pilates Variations for Instructors, 212 Ways to Refresh Your Classes, PDF Guide

Your regulars know every exercise in your class by heart. You want to give them something new on Monday without writing a new class from scratch. This library takes the reformer exercises you already teach and gives each one five or six ways to change it, so the same class can feel fresh for weeks.

The Reformer Variations Library covers 41 base exercises, from footwork to standing work, with 212 variations. Each variation changes one thing: the facing, the base of support, the lever, the range, the tempo, a prop, the position or the spring. It tells you which of those it moves, what job the exercise still does, and whether it sits at the same level, a step up or a step down.

The spring line is the part most variation lists leave out. Turn a client round on the carriage and the same springs that resisted a pull now resist a press. Six variations in this book turn the machine round like that, and each one says what the springs are doing now.

DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This book is for qualified Pilates instructors and assumes you know the base exercises and your reformer. It does not replace your training, your judgement in the room, or advice from a client's health professional. Standing and kneeling work on a moving carriage needs a stable mount, a light load and a teacher close by.
