Nice Day Pilates 150-Hour Reformer Teacher Training 2026

The wait is over. Nice Day Pilates is thrilled to introduce our inaugural 150-Hour Reformer Teacher Training Curriculum.

Through years of research, collaboration, and refinement, we’ve developed a comprehensive approach to Reformer education that bridges origin with innovation. This training is grounded in functional movement, creative expression, and sustainable teaching practices designed to support both your personal longevity and your professional evolution.

The future of Pilates teaching is shifting. It’s no longer only about memorizing choreography; it’s about understanding the why behind movement. It’s about how you connect, how you adapt, and how you teach with empathy, precision, and integrity. We’ve partnered with chiropractors, physiotherapists and leadership coaches to create a curriculum that reflects the future of movement: science-based, inclusive, and functionally intelligent.
