The Audition

Please provide the following:

→ One video of you teaching (while performing*) the Series of 5 (please, no more than 5 mins)
→ Write a reformer class outline for your signature style of teaching. This could be a class anywhere between 45-55 minutes in length, like you’d teach in a group reformer class setting.
→ Provide the written outline below, and one 10 minute clip of a portion of that class (while you are performing/teaching*). On the outline, note which segment of the class is in the video.

Expectations of on-camera performance: All in one go— no cuts or editing film clips together. Connect with the audience, smile, be your authentic self. Let’s see what ya got.

Your class could be all core, all stretch, or whatever you want. This is all about showing us your signature teaching style.  It just needs to be no more than 10 minutes in length and filmed on the reformer. Imagine like you’re teaching your favorite client who is watching you on screen.

*If you need physical accommodation, we will adapt these requirements. Please reach out to hello@flexiapilates.com.
