Five Day Intensive Pilates Reformer Workshop For Yacht Crew

Why This Workshop Matters

Pilates can be enjoyed either on the mat or on specialised machines called ‘Pilates apparatus’. The Pilates reformer is arguably the most well-known and popular piece of Pilates apparatus.

The reformer works on progressive resistance, has a moving carriage, foot bar and pulley system. The reformer is incredibly versatile and there are over 600 exercises you can do on it (with more exercises being created all the time).

In the last two years, more and more yachts 50m+ are offering Pilates on the reformer as an activity for guests to enjoy onboard.

The reformer is not like any other piece of gym equipment and guests should not be practising on their own on a reformer. Practicing on the reformer can be very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing and the risk of injury on this apparatus is very high.

Any yacht crew member will know that safety always comes first, and the reformer is no different. In order to experience the many benefits of being on the Pilates reformer, a practitioner needs to know how to prevent injury, stay in alignment and work safely at all times.

The Journey To Becoming A Pilates Practitioner

To become fully skilled as a practitioner on all pieces of Pilates apparatus takes a minimum of one year full time study and 750+ hours of training and observation with an accredited Pilates school.

For yacht crew, this kind of training and time commitment is often not possible, which is why we have created this unique Five Day Intensive Reformer Workshop for Yacht Crew.

As the reputation of our studio is at stake when we teach you, we accept new students by application and interview only. We offer this workshop on request and we are available to come onboard and teach crew.

Reviews 

"Our owners really wanted our crew to get some background with the reformer and be able to confidently teach them and their guests. The structure of this workshop has been the most amazing part of the whole thing! The structure is very straightforward... not just into the books but very hands-on. This is going to be something we are able to take with us for the rest of our lives! You can tell how much thought has gone into this workshop. Not only that, Bianca has been doing this for such a long time, she’s made changes and adapted it, and she has a very solid foundation. We knew nothing about Pilates when we started! Now we are so much more mindful and so much more educated in just a few days!" - Barbara, Chief Stewardess
