A Two-Hour Workshop for Reformer Teachers

If you’ve trained on the Reformer but haven’t yet explored the Mat in depth, this workshop is your chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience where the Pilates method truly begins.

At EQ Pilates, we believe the Mat isn’t a separate branch of Pilates — it’s the foundation of the entire system. In this two-hour workshop, you’ll move through the original Mat sequence as Joseph Pilates created it, discovering how it informs, supports, and strengthens everything you already teach on the Reformer.

This is an open, judgement-free space for teachers from all training backgrounds. You don’t need to know the classical order, or have any particular experience on the Mat — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

What to Expect

You’ll:

• Experience the original Mat sequence in your own body

• Discover how the Mat connects directly to Reformer work

• Learn the “why” behind the shapes, transitions, and flow

• Discuss how the Mat can transform the way you move and teach

You’ll leave with a renewed sense of connection to the Pilates method, and a deeper understanding of how the Mat forms the foundation for everything that happens on the apparatus.
