How to Teach Beginners on the Reformer
Fewer Exercises, Well Explained
New students have to understand the machine first. Plan fewer exercises and leave time for springs, foot position and getting onto the carriage.
Change Position Less Often
Every change takes a long time at the start. Stay in one position as long as you can and build the class around just a few.
Repeating Is Fine
Teaching the same exercises for a few weeks isn't a lack of ideas. The group gains confidence, and then you can progress.
