About This Training

Bali Pilates Plus is an official EYT Host Studio, offering EYT Pilates Teacher Training — a New York-founded, classical Pilates education delivered through a combination of immersive in-person training, online study, practice and mentored apprenticeship.

Created in 2009 by EYT Founder and Director of Education Jessica Spillane, the program has grown into a global teacher-training community with 1,000+ graduates and 75+ Host Studios worldwide. EYT combines the depth and discipline of classical Pilates with a modern, embodied approach to teaching — preparing you not simply to learn the repertoire, but to understand how to teach it.

Your Bali training is led by Vianca Rechtman, Founder of Bali Pilates Plus and EYT Master Teacher Trainer, bringing EYT's methodology together with extensive experience teaching, running a Pilates studio and mentoring teachers in Bali.

Learn, Practise & Teach

Across the 4-day Reformer intensive, you will learn and experience the classical Reformer repertoire from Beginner through Advanced, building on the knowledge and movement principles you already bring from your existing Mat, fitness or yoga training.

You will learn the Reformer repertoire in your own body, then begin teaching your fellow apprentices from day one. Through observation, practice and peer teaching, you will develop your technique, cueing and confidence while learning to see and respond to movement on the apparatus.

You will explore Reformer set-up, safety, spring settings, breath, the six Pilates principles, sequencing, transitions, modifications and progressions — learning not only the exercises, but how to teach them with clarity, intention and flow.

Throughout the intensive, you'll receive feedback and guidance as you develop your teaching eye and your own teaching voice. Learn how to adapt the Reformer work to the bodies in front of you, when to modify or progress an exercise, and how to build purposeful group classes.

The intensive is the beginning of your EYT journey. Your training continues through the online curriculum, structured study, self-practice, observation, assistant teaching, Beginner assessment and mentored apprenticeship.

Come to Bali to deepen your Pilates practice, expand your teaching repertoire and build the confidence to bring the Reformer into your professional teaching.
