125-Hour Barre Teacher Training - Fall 2024
re:form’s flagship 125-Hour Barre Teacher Training is one of the most comprehensive Barre Certification programs available. It focuses on a functional and integrated approach to the fusion of dance conditioning, Pilates, and yoga. We teach and practice barre fitness as more than a sum of its parts, and encourage our students to develop their teaching skills through this holistic lens. We believe that this is a movement practice for every body.
Created in partnership with BECYCLE Berlin, this program gives students an immersive perspective on what makes a barre class dynamic, engaging, and fun!
Designed to prepare you for teaching from the ground up, this entirely virtual course is appropriate for anyone with an interest in movement and a sense of curiosity.
Applied Movement Anatomy (AMA)
re:form’s Applied Movement Anatomy workshop is an essential exploration of the fundamental musculoskeletal anatomy that fosters human movement. This 20-hour course is a must for movement instructors and enthusiasts who want to know how the theoretical understanding of movement can be applied to and enrich movement experience in real life. We will identify and study the joints and tissues responsible for global movement by bringing awareness to relevant structures, muscles, and relationships in our own bodies, as well as give functional context to how these actions apply to a range of movements across a variety of fitness and movement disciplines.

Informed Movement: Finding Balance in Pregnancy
This 10-hour virtual workshop has been designed to comprehensively equip movement and fitness instructors to best serve prenatal clients. Over the course of two days, we will discuss the most pertinent physiological changes that unfold over the course of a pregnancy, and explore how these changes can affect a pregnant client’s experience in your class. While acknowledging that every pregnant client has unique needs and goals, we’ll examine exercises from a variety of movement modalities, discuss appropriate modification strategies, and explore practical movement progressions to cultivate more balance within the musculoskeletal system during pregnancy.
This workshop is optimal for movement instructors of any modality who want to increase their confidence in working with the pregnant population, but is also suitable for anyone (including those who are currently or planning to be pregnant) with a sense of curiosity on this topic.
Informed Movement: Finding Balance Postpartum
his 10-hour virtual workshop offers a detailed dive into the specific needs of a postpartum body. We will look at the numerous physical changes that take place in the period immediately following childbirth, and how we can adapt our programming choices to best serve the postpartum population.
Over the course of two days we will review relevant anatomical concepts and touch on a general overview of the birthing process. While acknowledging that every postpartum journey is unique, we’ll discuss fundamental checkpoints in the recovery process, as well as the how the physical demands of newly achieved parenthood may manifest during this time. You’ll be equipped with breadth and movement strategies to safely support anyone postpartum — both in movement practice and in life.
This workshop is optimal for movement instructors of any modality who want to increase their confidence in working with the postpartum population, but is also suitable for anyone (including those who are currently postpartum, pregnant, or planning to be pregnant) with a sense of curiosity on this topic.
Level Up: Using Language
One of our most effective resources as teachers is language. Effectively communicating the mechanics or quality of a movement can facilitate a student’s connection to their movement practice in new and exciting ways, while thoughtless language can have the exact opposite effect, excluding students and undermining their relationship to their practice. We believe that language matters, and that students should expect a higher level of commitment from their movement instructors to precision, anatomical accuracy, and respect.
