Curious about how Classical Pilates is a complete system and not just individual exercises?

Join us for this special workshop where we will demonstrate classical exercises on the Gratz apparatus, specifically designed for this work.

You’ll get to feel the important connections between the Reformer and Mat work, and explore other apparatus — such as the Baby Arm Chair and Cadillac — to make the connections deeper.

We will also show you how to enrich your mat practice using the Magic Circle! ✨

Workshop Details:
Date: Sunday 26th April 2026
Time: 11:00am – 4:30pm

Our next Level 3 Supporting Pre & Postnatal Clients course is happening this month!

If you’ve been teaching Pilates or fitness for a while and want to feel confident working with mums-to-be and new mothers, this course is for you. Pregnancy and the postnatal period bring so many beautiful (and sometimes challenging!) changes to the body and having the right knowledge makes all the difference in keeping your clients safe, strong, and supported.

Over our two intensive days together at the studio, we’ll cover:
• The physiological and biomechanical shifts that happen during pregnancy and recovery
• Smart, safe exercise adaptations and modifications (including how to use small equipment effectively)
• How to design engaging, stage-appropriate programmes that actually work for each client
• Important health and safety considerations every teacher should know

When you pass this course, you leave with a fully accredited Active IQ Level 3 qualification, practical confidence, comprehensive eLearning resources, and my ongoing support.

The dates are 29th & 30th April 2026 here at VIPilates in Sutton Coldfield (B75 5BH). We keep the group small so everyone gets plenty of hands-on guidance and time to ask questions.

Whether you’re already working with pre/postnatal clients or hoping to welcome them into your classes, this training will give you the tools and knowledge to do it brilliantly.

Spaces are limited (as always!), so if this feels like the right next step for you, I’d love to have you join us! Feel free to send me a DM or email [email protected] if you have any questions at all.
