Over two decades ago, in the year 2000, Jayne Nicholls revolutionised the fitness industry with the launch of Freestyle Fitness Yoga, a groundbreaking programme that bridged the gap between traditional yoga and the modern fitness world.

Now, she does it again.

Deconstructing Postures: The Reformer Y Method

This course moves beyond simple sequencing, offering a deep dive into how the reformer can deconstruct and enhance familiar yoga postures. We’ll analyse through the lens of spring resistance to unlock new levels of stretch, strength, and stability in the practice .

Heightened Stretch 

Discover how to use the reformer’s springs to intelligently guide the body into deeper, more accessible stretches. Learn how the moving carriage with spring tension can provide support to release greater sustained ROM, far beyond what the mat alone can offer. You will learn to facilitate profound openings by using resistance not as a barrier, but as an assistive tool for release.

Amplified Strength 

Re-examine postures  and discover a new dimension of strength. By working against the reformer’s springs, you’ll learn to build true, functional power. The constant, controlled tension challenges muscular endurance and teaches precise engagement through both the concentric and eccentric phases of movement, creating a powerful strength that is difficult to replicate on the mat.

Dynamic Stability 

The moving platform of the reformer introduces a unique stability challenge that will transform your understanding of core engagement. A simple Plank Pose or Side Plank becomes a dynamic conversation between your body and the machine. You’ll learn how this instability demands a higher level of proprioceptive awareness and fires up deep stabilising muscles, teaching you to create stability from a mobile and intelligent core
