Module 2: Chair & Cadillac Levels 1 & 2

For this course we expect that students are starting to understand programming for individual clients and group classes, Pilates principles and basic anatomy. These apparatuses offer new repertoire and variations that both stand alone, and work in conjunction with the Reformer exercises learned in the previous module. Significant practice, homework and review will be needed between each weekend.
