Comprehensive Apparatus Training

Regarding Form teaches movement education, exploration, and empowerment. We believe passionately that physical intelligence is an undervalued, vital skill that supports a full and rewarding modern life. Through this lens, both as teachers and teacher trainers, we encourage individuals to cultivate their own unique and informed movement practices. These practices should be gratifying, productive, and durable, and facilitate a positive relationship with moving one’s own body.

We approach the Pilates Method from a contemporary angle, offering a discipline that is highly adaptive for any practitioner’s specific needs and goals. As an extension of our 300 Hour Mat + Reformer Teacher Training, this 8 month apparatus training completes the arc of a comprehensive certification. Because Pilates is an integrated system, our belief is that the self-referential and self-reinforcing nature of the work cannot be fully realized on a singular piece of equipment.

While our mat and reformer program is an immersion into the multifaceted toolkit for teaching groups of students, our additional apparatus program is focused on working with clients 1:1.
