Friday Feb 20, 2026 5pm- 7pm | Reformer on the Mat

Step back in time, mid-90s, at Drago’s gym under Romana’s apprenticeship, there were always more apprentices than reformers. One day, on a whim, we brought the reformer exercises onto the big blue mats by the open windows—right alongside the reformers. Every reformer exercise we knew was applied to the mat, and Romana loved it… as did we!

You’ll learn to practice Reformer exercises without losing the precision, flow, and integrity of the exercise. It’s a practical, inspiring way to expand your teaching, deepen your understanding, and have a little fun along the way. No apparatus required.

Does your reformer need a little more something? Look no further. This workshop will work on the trickier Classical Ideal Exercises that Jospeh Pilates created. It will focus on why you are doing this exercise, when it comes in the order, and what you, and your clients need to do, to dig deeper. We will look at common mistakes and how to help you and the client get into the movement from a strong and safe place. Tips and tricks included to get you to the next level.
