“The certification program at Long + Lean truly goes above and beyond in teaching the Pilates repertory. Throughout my training there, I gained so much knowledge in proper biomechanics and healthy movement patterns that prepared me to teach in numerous settings since moving to New York City. Hayley’s attention to detail and focus on the anatomy within Pilates really sets this program apart. I could not recommend it enough!” – Sydney Hale, Instructor at Erika Bloom Pilates

Reformer Deep Dive Workshop

At Reformer Deep Dive WorkshopLong + 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!
