About the course
The Motus Institute Reformer Pilates Course is designed to take you from unsure to confident instructor, step by step. Led by a highly experienced teacher with over 20 years in the industry, this course focuses on what actually matters when you start teaching. You’ll learn how to set up the reformer, choose the right springs, cue clearly, and adjust exercises for different clients. We keep everything simple, practical, and easy to follow so you’re not overwhelmed. You’ll understand how to structure a full class, build flows that make sense, and create sessions your clients love. By the end, you won’t feel lost or underprepared. You’ll feel ready to walk into a studio, take a class, and teach with confidence from day one.
Your Instructor: Catherine Farrell
I’ve been teaching Pilates for over 20 years, and I’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners to high-level clients. Over that time, I’ve seen one big problem, most instructor courses don’t actually prepare you to teach. That’s why I created Motus. I wanted to make a course that’s simple, practical, and gives you real confidence. Not just learning exercises, but understanding how to teach, adapt, and connect with your clients. My goal is for you to finish this course feeling ready. Ready to walk into any studio, anywhere in the world, and start teaching with confidence from day one.
