The EARND Method

The Reformer Handbook: The Earnd Method 

Where range is earned, not borrowed.

The Reformer Handbook isn't a set of flows to copy. It's the architecture underneath them, so you can build your own classes and have them hold together. It's written for qualified reformer instructors who want one plan to serve a beginner and an advanced client in the same room, at the same moment.

Inside

• I · The Five Principles. The ideas behind every Earnd class. Learn them and you can teach a class you've never seen, correct a fault that isn't written down, and adapt any exercise without leaving the method.
• II · Layering Live. How to read a room and progress clients in real time: set the position, run the base, watch, offer, close, rotate. It includes teaching the mixed room and what goes wrong.
• III · Class Planning. The shape of a class and a notes bank with cues for key exercises (footwork, shoulder bridges, the hundred, the diagonal lunge and more). It ends with a worked example.
• The Cover Call. What to do when you cover at the last minute: unfamiliar springs, beds and props.
• IV · Springs: Load, Not Colour. Why spring colours mean nothing between brands, five load levels, a conversion chart, and a thirty-second protocol for any machine.

Pull out and pin up: four reference cards and four worksheets, including a class plan and a lessons-learnt log.
