Teaching by Design: Reformer

 

Presented by John Garey

Change the Delivery, Change the Result.

Most teachers plan their exercises. Few plan how they will show up to teach them. In this two-hour workshop, I teach five different Reformer flows — each flow matched to one of the 5 Pilates Teacher Archetypes™: the Entertainer, the Motivator, the Coach, the Educator, and the Pal. You'll experience how the energy changes with each archetype, and how even the same cues land differently.

This is a live virtual version of the workshop. You’ll watch me teach all five flows on Zoom and hear how the same cues land differently with each archetype. If you have a Reformer, you’re welcome to follow along.

Duration: 2 Hours | Time Zone: Central

2 NPCP CECs

The Reformer is where teachers spend most of their week. That makes it the best place to notice what changes when the exercises stay the same and the teacher doesn't.

Before and after each flow, I’ll break down the archetype. You'll learn what that archetype is like at its best — how it uses voice, physicality, energy, and presence, and even how it can go wrong. You'll also learn to design your flows using the archetypes, based on the time of day, the class format, and the people in the room. While no one archetype belongs to any one flow, these five pairings are examples of how to use each one to your advantage.
