Sink Reformer
Instructor Training
Starting July 2nd
This is Sink's first reformer Pilates instructor training.
It will not be a crash course. It will not be a weekend certificate. It is a serious, thorough grounding in classical reformer pilates methodology at foundational level, with the contemporary sculpting techniques that make Sink classes feel the way they do.
You leave with the knowledge, the manual, and the confidence to actually teach.
8 days Training course. Maximum 10 people.
What grounds this training.
Reformer pilates was built by Joseph Pilates in the 1930s. It is a complete, logical system with principles, sequencing, and real reasoning behind every exercise. The majority of what you will learn sits firmly in that classical tradition.
We train on industry-leading equipment, because how you learn to move matters. Not for the aesthetic. Because functional movement built on good foundations teaches your body the right things. Proper pilates, not fad fitness.
On top of the classical foundation, you will learn the Sink layer. The holds, the pulses, the targeted loading that recruits deep muscle fibre and leaves clients feeling genuinely worked. Not fatigued for the sake of it. Worked in a way that builds real, lasting strength. That combination is what makes Sink classes feel different. You will learn how to teach both, and how to bring them together.
Who this is for.
You have done at least 10 reformer classes. You love this method and you want to teach it properly. That is all we need from you.
You might be a movement professional looking to add reformer to what you already do. You might be someone who found reformer and cannot stop thinking about it. Either way, you are serious about learning it well.
No prior teaching experience required. Genuine commitment is.

The history and philosophy of pilates.
Where it comes from. Who Joseph Pilates was and what he was building. The six principles that run through every exercise. You cannot teach a method you do not understand. We start here.
What you will learn.
Anatomy and physiology for reformer instruction.
The muscles you are working in each exercise. How spring resistance differs from gravity-based loading and what that means for the body. Spinal positioning, pelvic alignment, joint mechanics, shoulder function. How to read a body on the reformer and know what you are actually looking at. Applied anatomy in context, not a generic overview.
SINK foundational classical reformer repertoire.
Every exercise, taught properly. You learn the name, the purpose, the spring set-up, the starting position, the cues, the common errors, the corrections, the modifications for bodies that need them, and the progressions for bodies that are ready. All of it documented in the manual you leave with.
Sculpting and contemporary technique.
This is the Sink layer. Targeted holds and pulses layered into classical framework to recruit the deep slow-twitch muscle fibre that standard sequencing often misses. You will learn how to programme this intelligently, how to cue it clearly, and when to use it so clients leave feeling genuinely worked without losing the quality and intention of the movement underneath.
Teaching skills.
Verbal cueing that is clear and precise. Hands-on correction done well. How to watch a class of ten people and see what is happening in each body. How to manage flow and energy in a room. How to give honest, useful feedback without losing the warmth of the space.
Programming and class planning.
How to build a session that makes sense, physically and rhythmically. The logic of classical sequencing and why order matters. How to write class plans, build a library of them, and create variety without creating confusion. How to work with mixed-ability groups.
Modification and adaptation.
Not every body in your class is ready for the full expression of every exercise. You will learn systematic approaches to modifying for beginners, for clients with specific limitations, and for pre and post-natal clients.
Your manual.
Sink’s foundational classical reformer exercises, fully documented. Purpose, spring set-up, starting position, step-by-step instruction, primary muscles, common errors, corrections, modifications, progressions, teaching cues. A working reference you will actually use.
The format.
8 full days in the Sink studio, Aarhus.
Maximum 10 people. This is deliberate. Small numbers mean individual feedback, real teaching practice, and enough time on the equipment to actually get comfortable on it. You will spend time on both sides of the instruction. On the reformer as a student. Standing at the front, teaching.
Your teachers.
Training is led by Sam and Julie, with other Sink instructors joining across the 8 days. Our teaching team has trained globally, not just in Denmark.
Julie
Classical reformer pilates instructor and yoga teacher (YTT 500). Julie's practice is rooted in the classical tradition, and she teaches with precision, depth, and a strong foundation in method.
Sam
Contemporary reformer pilates instructor and yoga teacher (YTT 200). Sam teaches with a focus on sculpt and contemporary technique, and brings the Sink approach to functional movement and deep muscular work.
