Unlock the Full Power of the Pilates Method: Integrating the Pilates Apparatus as a Whole

EXCLUSIVE 2 HOUR EXPERIENCE SESSION BY KRIS NG, CO-FOUNDER OF BODYTREE ACADEMY

BODYTREE ACADEMY

The BodyTree Approach is a client-centric approach, based on the belief of teaching the clients presented, as opposed to mindlessly applying a fixed sequence of exercises to any body.

In the fast-evolving world of fitness, it’s easy to see the Pilates method segmented by its apparatus: Reformer classes, Cadillac sessions, Chair work. But at its core, **the Pilates Method was designed as a holistic system** where each piece of apparatus serves a distinct role in guiding clients toward their movement potential.

The True Essence of Pilates

Traditionally, a Pilates session weaves together work on multiple apparatus, tailoring the choice of equipment to the specific needs of the client. When you focus only on one apparatus, you miss the opportunity to create a comprehensive, deeply personalized session that addresses the entire body.

In this exclusive workshop, led by **BodyTree Academy co-founder Kris Ng**, you’ll rediscover the Pilates Method as a unified system, learning how each apparatus—Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and more—works together to support the full scope of your clients’ movement journey.

Why This Workshop is Essential

- Holistic Understanding: See how the Pilates apparatus fits together, creating a system that’s more than the sum of its parts. You'll learn how to tailor sessions that respond to each client’s body and progress through different apparatus in one cohesive flow.

- Client-Centered Approach: Gain the skills to select the appropriate apparatus for your clients’ unique needs, so every session is purposeful and well-rounded, enhancing your ability to address imbalances, injuries, or movement goals.

- Deepen Your Expertise: Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned instructor, this workshop will give you the confidence to work with any apparatus and integrate them seamlessly into your teaching.

What You’ll Learn:

- The traditional use of the **Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Barrel**, and **small apparatus** in a single session

- How to effectively **combine apparatus** to create client-specific programs

- The **functional relationships** between apparatus that enhance the client’s movement quality and outcomes
