Wunda Chair Pilates course
For qualified instructors

Classical foundations.
Real teaching skill.

An intimate, hands-on course built to build confidence — not just cover content.

Most Pilates equipment courses treat the Wunda Chair as an add-on to wider training — a couple of hours inside a bigger qualification. There are very few courses that go deep on the Chair specifically. This one does.

Hosted by Yulia — a practising osteopath and Level 3 Pilates instructor qualified across all major Pilates equipment and systems — the course is deliberately capped at five participants, so there's room for real individual guidance, questions and feedback throughout the weekend.

Suitability

Who it's for.

This course is aimed at qualified Pilates instructors who have completed their Level 3 Matwork qualification and have previous Reformer experience.

The course

Two days.
Built to go deep.

Wunda Chair Pilates course — Day 1

Day 1 — Classical Foundations

We begin with a 45-minute Wunda Chair class, so you experience the equipment yourself and warm up before moving into the teaching element. From there, we work through the classical Wunda Chair repertoire created by Joseph Pilates — starting with the basic exercises and progressing into intermediate work.

Each exercise is broken down in depth, covering:

  • Correct technique and execution
  • Set-up and positioning
  • Key teaching points and cues
  • What the exercise is working, and why
  • Common mistakes and how to correct them
  • How to modify for different abilities
  • How to progress and challenge an exercise
  • How to safely build your clients' confidence on the Chair

Day 2 — Building Your Repertoire

Day 2 opens with a short Wunda Chair warm-up, revisiting the equipment and putting Day 1's movements into practice. We continue through the classical basic and intermediate repertoire, introducing further exercises and exploring how they can be taught, modified and progressed.

The focus shifts from performing the exercises to teaching them — sequencing, transitions, exercise choices, and adapting your teaching to different clients and abilities. Throughout both days, the emphasis is on developing your understanding, confidence and ability to take what you've learnt into your own classes.
