At 
Long + Lean Pilates, we are passionate about continuing to learn and grow as Pilates instructors and we believe continuing education is the key to giving our clients the very best. We have always envisioned hosting workshops for Pilates and movement instructors and are so very excited to present the first Long + Lean Pilates Professional Development Workshop: Reformer Deep Dive with Ellen Shadle on Sunday July 15th!
In this 4-hour Pilates workshop we will unpack, investigate, and explore the Reformer repertoire in a manner we are seldom able when cueing movements and counting out reps. From mechanics to dynamics, the how’s and the why’s of what we do, and cultivating programming, we will cover a range of Reformer topics and issues. The Reformer Deep Dive Workshop will be led by Ellen Shadle, certified instructor and teacher-trainer for the Pilates Academy International system, a Pilates Method Alliance recognized school. Ellen has been teaching for 20 years in commercial gyms, boutique studios, academic institutions, and dance centers.
The workshop will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday July 15th at Long + Lean Pilates. Attendees should arrive early for an on-time start, and there will be a 20-minute break. Plan accordingly with water, bars, snacks, and bring your questions and challenges! Spots are limited to allow for plenty of Reformer time for everyone. Reserve your spot here!
We want to give a shout out to our awesome client Allyson for reaching the 100+ class mark! Allyson has been taking group Reformer classes 3-4 times per week for a year and she has the results to show for it! Read on to find out why Allyson loves Pilates…
Susanna has been taking class at Long + Lean since before we even had Reformer classes! This busy lady does Pilates six days a week, mixing in private sessions and duets with her regular classes. Susanna is a 100+ Class Superstar more than two times over, with over 200 classes, and she has the results to show for it! We love having Susanna at the studio for a lot of reasons, but we especially the fun, bright outfits she always wears!! 
Ever since we started offering Small Group Reformer Classes we have been so blown away by the commitment and progress that our amazing clients have been making! Its time to take a moment and recognize the dedicated clients who have taken 100 (or more classes) and have been kicking their goals’ butts!
