125 Hour Barre Teacher Training
Autumn 2026 – Starts September 13th!
The 125-hour Barre Teacher Training Program
Regarding Form teaches movement education, exploration, and empowerment. We believe passionately that physical intelligence is an undervalued, vital skill that supports a full and rewarding modern life. Through this lens, both as teachers and teacher trainers, we encourage individuals to cultivate their own unique and informed movement practices. These practices should be gratifying, productive, and durable, and facilitate a positive relationship with moving one’s own body.

SHIRAH PERRY
Originally from Philadelphia, Shirah began her movement career as a ballet and contemporary dancer. After completing her BFA in Ballet Pedagogy she moved to New York City, where she worked as a dancer, dance teacher, and choreographer. While exploring the dance community in New York, presenting work and participating in local and international dance workshops and festivals, Shirah sought out Pilates as an avenue both to cross-train and as a potential additional source of work. She completed a Comprehensive Pilates certification and began working as a Pilates instructor in New York before eventually landing in Berlin in 2016.
As she gained experience, Shirah fell in love with teaching functional movement and dove headfirst into her work as an instructor. While teaching barre and contemporary Pilates, she completed a yoga certification (200RYT) and pursued continuing education in anatomy, therapeutic exercise for breast cancer and chest wall surgery, prenatal and postpartum exercise, and restorative yoga. She is currently completing a certification as a postpartum corrective exercise specialist (PCES). Shirah has taught in North America, Europe, and Africa, and is the co-founder of re:form.
KATHERINE LAPLANT
Raised in New England with California roots, Katherine came to Berlin by way of Los Angeles where she left a career in TV production to pursue movement instruction. Having discovered a personal sense of physical and mental restoration in building a regular Pilates practice, she was driven to facilitate this experience for other over-scheduled and stressed-out Angelinos. Katherine launched her new career in 2013 with offerings in contemporary reformer Pilates and treadmill HIIT with an emphasis on tough but thoughtful programming. Her resume quickly grew to include personal training, prenatal fitness instruction, and postpartum corrective exercise.
Since moving to Berlin in 2016, Katherine’s practice has expanded to include barre fitness instruction and teacher training. She is additionally certified in the Functional Range Systems as a mobility assessment and training specialist. In 2020, Katherine established a private Pilates studio in West Berlin and pursued continuing education workshops in advanced prenatal concepts and Functional Anatomy for Movement and Injuries. She is the co-founder of re:form.
