Why the Kim Shipton Method stands out from the rest?
Unlike most other Pilates Courses you do not need your Mat Pilates Qualification to take this course all you need is to have completed 30 reformer sessions. Meaning you can become a Reformer Pilates Teacher in half the time!
In this course I will teach you to a new style of Reformer Pilates. You won’t just be a normal regular instructor, you will come out learning how to be an upbeat, friendly, welcoming and advanced instructor.
You will learn how to incorporate weights, props, stretches and techniques to leave your students in their best possible state

This is where the course gets fun and incorporates my signature style.
Full day of Jump Board. Lots of high energy prop driven exercises and sequences that get you burning in all the right places!
Day 2
Continues with more dynamic moves including weights, the magic circle and pilates ball. Guaranteed to get you thinking outside the ‘pilates box’.
Assessment on what you’ve learnt so far.
Reformer 3 - Day 1
This module starts with very advanced pilates exercises that result in a super challenging day of workouts, even for the fittest of pilates professionals!
Day 2
Class choreography -important as a teacher to create your own signature flows, lower back pain, pre and post-natal clients and osteoporosis. You will have the tools to teach a multitude of clients.
Final 60 min assessment in front of the class.
The class and assessments are included to get you comfortable teaching in front of others and to get ideas and feedback on how to teach safely and improve your cueing of the exercises. Nothing to be worried about, just a friendly forum to get used to teaching!
