A focused 4-hour, in-person CPD workshop (EMD UK accredited) that gives Reformer Pilates instructors the practical skills, evidence-informed knowledge, and coaching confidence to safely programme for pregnancy and the postnatal period—within mixed-level and dedicated Reformer classes.

• Understand trimester-specific and postnatal physiological changes and their implications for Reformer work.
• Screen effectively (PAR-Q & red flags), adapt intake questions, and know when to refer.
• Apply clear contraindications/precautions and create safe regressions/progressions 
• Programme core, breath, and pelvic-floor–integrated sequences that feel inclusive and strong.
• Modify common Reformer exercises (footwork, hip work, lunge series, long box, mermaid, planks, loading patterns).
• Coach cueing for pressure management (intra-abdominal pressure), diastasis considerations, and pelvic-girdle/symphysis pubis pain.
• Blend pregnant and non-pregnant clients in the same class without compromising flow.
• Map return-to-loading post-birth (vaginal/C-section), including red-flag awareness.
   

Qualified/trainee Reformer Pilates instructors and movement professionals looking to serve pregnant and postnatal clients confidently in group settings. 

• Live practical lab on the Reformer with real-world class scenarios
• Take-home programming templates & contraindication cheat-sheet
