Four stages from the first visit to independent practice

Every stage has an entry condition. You move on when the instructor confirms your setup and control on the apparatus, not on a fixed timetable.

  1. Orientation

    50 min900 UAHRequired first

    A one-to-one introduction to the reformer: carriage, spring bars, footbar heights, straps and headrest, followed by a short movement screen. No group session is booked before this is done.

  2. Foundation

    55 minMax 4 peopleFoundations level

    Small-group work on breathing, rib position and the basic footwork series. Springs stay on the heavier settings while you learn to read the carriage stop.

  3. Progression

    55 minMax 4 peopleBuild and flow levels

    Longer sequences with lighter springs, standing work and side-lying patterns. The instructor adjusts your spring options each visit instead of handing out one fixed setting.

  4. Independent practice

    55 min1,600 UAHIndividual session

    One student, one reformer, a written sequence you can repeat on your own. For anyone preparing to train unsupervised or working around an old injury a physician has already assessed.

04 / Orientation

Before your first group session

Your first 50 minutes on the reformer

Orientation is a required 50-minute session at 900 UAH, and it comes before any small-group booking. It is taught one to one so the apparatus settings are yours, not shared.

  1. Carriage stop and springs

    You set the carriage stop and test three spring options so the resistance feels predictable rather than surprising.

  2. Straps, footbar, headrest

    Straps are fitted and the footbar and headrest adjusted for your height and arm length, then checked by the instructor.

  3. Breath and neutral pelvis

    Finding a neutral pelvis and a breathing rhythm you can hold through footwork, bridging and the first long stretches.

  4. Choosing your level

    You leave with a recommendation between foundations, build and flow, and a place held in a group capped at four people.

Reformer Pilates here is fitness instruction, not medical care. If you have an injury or a condition that limits movement, speak to a physician before starting. See how booking works.

05 Instructor

Who sets the springs and watches the line

Emma Weber teaches every orientation at the Podil studio and reviews spring options for each participant before a first group session. She keeps the small-group count at four so every position can be corrected by hand.
