Without putting too much info on here, there is somewhere fairly local that is setting up a ‘screen led’ Pilates reformer studio.
Put your headphones on, pick a class, and off you go.
To say I am utterly disgusted, angry, and scared of the injuries this will inevitably cause, is an understatement.
If you want to learn Pilates, especially large equipment Pilates such as the reformer, please, please, please, find a reputable teacher and studio!
An ‘in person’ studio! Where a teacher has eyes on you!
As a teacher we undertake hundreds, if not thousands, of hours training for a reason!
Our continuing profession development is just that- continual! Each and every day I’m learning. From my clients, reading, courses, and several hours per week attending my own Pilates classes.
You need a teacher to help keep you working safely on a reformer. To watch how you move, correct your alignment, to ensure you get the most from this amazing method!
If you choose to have a home reformer, that’s your decision. And if there is a teacher present at these screen led sessions for safety reasons, then I’d feel slightly better about it. But only marginally.
I need to stop ranting. I hope I’ve made my point 🤦♀️
