Expand your expertise with this two-day advanced certification designed by Rachel Flynn, experienced doula and specialist in pre and postnatal movement.

This practical, evidence-informed course explores how to confidently adapt reformer Pilates for pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

You’ll learn safe modifications, breath and pelvic floor integration, class programming, and empowering communication strategies to support clients through every stage of motherhood.

We limit enrolment to just eight students for eight reformers, ensuring every participant has their own machine to fully practice, explore, and experience all movements and guided classes across the two immersive training days.

Open to practitioners who are already reformer certified.
