Barrels Teacher Training
A one-day, hands-on Barrels workshop at Movement Collective, plus online study in spinal anatomy and safe programming — built for instructors who already teach Pilates and want to add Barrels to their repertoire.
Hybrid learning, one confident skill set
The Barrels apparatus asks more of an instructor's anatomical knowledge than mat or reformer work — that's why this hybrid course combines a full day on the equipment with focused online study, so you leave able to program Barrels safely for real client presentations.
In the studio, on the apparatus
- Barrels repertoire on the Spine Corrector and Ladder Barrel
- Set-up and cueing for each exercise
- Modifications and programming for a variety of injuries and conditions
- Supervised practice teaching and personalised feedback from Tam O'Reilly
The knowledge behind the movement
- Bones, joints and muscles of the spine
- Injuries and conditions of the spine
- Guidelines for working with clients who have these conditions
- Tissue healing timeframes and rehabilitation principles
- Video library
An upskill, not a starting point
This workshop is designed as continuing education for teachers already working in the industry — not an entry-level qualification. Come with your teaching experience; we'll add the Barrels skill set on top of it.
This module is also part of our Comprehensive Studio qualification. If you'd like it to count toward that qualification, bridging is available →
