Balanced Body Reformer 3 Teacher Training Course

The Balanced Body Reformer 3 Teacher Training Course is the pinnacle of the reformer work and includes advanced and super advanced exercises. In the advanced reformer repertoire clients will be motivated to achieve their best with progressive sequences designed to teach the advanced movement skills. In addition, Balanced Body's principle-based programming will guide you in the creation of both safe and successful multi-level classes.

This course will include a master class each day on the reformers, taught by LaBriece. Students will have several opportunities to practice teaching with other students in the course as well as receiving constructive feedback from LaBriece.

Important topics to be discussed will be exercise-specific safety protocols, verbal & tactile cuing as well as how to adjust for different body sizes and abilities with the implementation of appropriate spring settings. Students will gain a thorough understanding of teaching the advanced exercises on the reformer.

Clothing for the course: Please wear snug-fitting exercise clothing. Grip socks and a sweatshirt or sweater to wear when not exercising. You might sweat during the master class so be sure to dress accordingly.

Be sure to bring: Pen, highlighters and a notebook. I expect you to take notes either directly in your manual or in a separate notebook.
