Classical Pilates Teacher Education
Wunda Chair & Reformer Jumpboard
Professional two-day teacher training




When: October 10 & 11, 2026
Location: R Studio Eindhoven
Deepen Your Expertise in the Classical Pilates Method
The Wunda Chair is one of the most versatile—and most challenging—pieces of equipment within the authentic Pilates system. Its compact design, direct spring resistance, and extensive exercise repertoire require a solid technical foundation, keen observation skills, and precise teaching.
During this two-day teacher training, we will explore the Classical Pilates Wunda Chair and the integration of the Reformer Jumpboard into everyday teaching practice. The focus is not only on performing the exercises, but, more importantly, on understanding the underlying principles, movement analysis, and how to translate this knowledge into effective teaching.
This course offers ample opportunity for individual guidance, hands-on application, and the development of greater confidence in working with both pieces of equipment.
