  • Wine tasting at world-class vineyards

This includes:

  • Repertoire

You will complete the full in-studio training hours for Level 1 (Essential/Intermediate), learning extensive repertoire and the skills to confidently teach private and group Reformer sessions.

If you choose to continue into Level 2 (Advanced), you’ll further develop your ability to teach strength and endurance-based Reformer classes. After your training, you’ll simply complete your observation, practice teaching, and personal practice hours at your own pace - with no extra post-course costs.
