Reformer on the Mat | Friday February 20, 5pm- 7pm 2CEC’s $150 (ala carte)

Step back in time, mid-90s, at Drago’s gym under Romana’s apprenticeship, there were always more apprentices than reformers. One day, on a whim, we brought the reformer exercises onto the big blue mats by the open windows—right alongside the reformers. Every reformer exercise we knew was applied to the mat, and Romana loved it… as did we!

You’ll learn how to translate Reformer exercises without losing the precision, flow, and integrity of the exercise. It’s a practical, inspiring way to expand your teaching, deepen your understanding, and have a little fun along the way. No apparatus required.

Spring into Action on the Cadillac/Tower‍ 10:30 AM • (2hr) 2CEC’s $150 (ala carte)

Let’s bring the Cadillac and Tower to life—with springs and a fresh order! This energetic workshop explores exercises from the mat and reformer on the Cadillac and Tower, using springs to add feedback, support, and a whole new layer of fun.Designed for Pilates teachers, we’ll move through exercises that highlight how spring choices can energize the work, challenge control, and reveal connections you may not have felt before. Expect lots of movement, experimentation, and those feel-good “ohhh, that’s what that’s for!” moments.

This workshop is equal parts smart and spirited. You’ll leave with fresh teaching ideas, more confidence with spring setups, and renewed excitement for helping clients move with clarity and joy. Springs, creativity, and happy teachers—what’s not to love?
