PHASE TWO — COMPREHENSIVE APPARATUS TRAINING Santa Cruz | Desert Dream Dance | 1515 Soquel Avenue Weekend 3 — September 11, 12 & 13, 2026 Friday: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM This weekend takes you beyond the mat and reformer and into the full Pilates apparatus system. Students will explore the Chair, Ladder Barrel, and Spine Corrector — learning how each piece of equipment uniquely targets spinal articulation, strength, flexibility, and balance. We introduce the Springboard and Tower, expanding your toolkit with spring-based resistance training that bridges mat and reformer principles into a versatile wall-mounted system. The weekend closes with an introduction to Cadillac Tower Reformer integrated programming — learning how to seamlessly weave multiple apparatus into cohesive, intelligent sessions for your clients. Weekend 4 — October 23, 24 & 25, 2026 Friday: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM Our final weekend brings everything together. We dive deep into Special Populations and injury modifications — giving you the confidence and tools to work safely and effectively with prenatal and postnatal clients, older adults, those recovering from injury, and clients with chronic conditions. We explore props, balance training, and functional movement, and close out our time together with Barre — a dynamic complement to Pilates that continues to grow in popularity across studios worldwide. By the end of this weekend, you will have the knowledge, the repertoire, and the confidence to walk into any studio and teach.
