Reformer - Classical side kneeling arms

Are we setting our clients up for a win?

It takes a lot to move the strap on a Classical Reformer and maintain correct form, two-way stretch and ease of movement.

In this programme, we will look at tools to link the three major components of this original exercise series; a solid grounding through an active kneeling position, shoulder strength/endurance overhead and at range as well as flank (side) familiarity.

You will learn to break down the positions of the original exercises and rather than torture ourselves with repetition and discomfort on the Reformer, build your client up with exercises that can be done at home or in the studio that can improve their quality of life, technique in the studio as well as their enjoyment and confidence with this style of Pilates.

Nicholas Psarros shares his knowledge so that you can get a win on the board!

Teaching for over twenty years, Nicholas is here to offer you his expertise and shortcuts while maintaining the integrity of the Pilates method.

Utilising Exercise Science principles and his love of the Pilates craft, this session is sure to get you thinking about what it takes to move that strap and build your overhead shoulder prowess for life on and off the Reformer.

What simple exercises can we use from within 'the work' and outside of 'the work' to scaffold your favourite clients to a win?

These exercises can also be used as drills to build strength in the studio or within a group class so that if you're operating a mixed level class, everyone has something nourishing to execute.

JHPs side kneeling arm series is nothing to be afraid of, this programme will steer you towards loving it!
