Take your Pilates Reformer practice and teaching skills to the next level with an immersive five-day Advanced Level 2 training at Naori Sanctuary, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, near Marrakech, Morocco.
Designed and led by Pilates educator Laurine Martin, alongside yoga teacher and Naori Sanctuary founder Lily Scally, this programme combines advanced Reformer repertoire, teaching methodology and sequencing in an inspiring residential setting.
The training explores the precision and progression of advanced Reformer movements, with a strong focus on movement analysis, body awareness, observation, verbal cueing, corrections, adaptations and the construction of coherent sequences. Each module combines technical exploration with practical teaching experience, helping participants develop confidence and refine their teaching approach.
The programme offers two participation pathways:
The Certification Pathway is designed for Pilates Reformer Level 1 certified instructors wishing to expand their repertoire and obtain their Level 2 certification, subject to successfully completing the final practical assessment.
The Advanced Practice Pathway is open to experienced Reformer practitioners who wish to deepen their personal practice and explore advanced movements, without taking the certification examination.
Both pathways require a confident and complete understanding of the Pilates Reformer Level 1 repertoire.
Alongside the technical training, enjoy daily yoga practices, a morning hike in the Atlas Mountains, full-board dining and an EPIC sound experience.
Set within the peaceful atmosphere of Naori Sanctuary, this experience brings together professional development, movement, nature and connection.
