    The Goal Of Pilates Shapes Your Teaching

    The Goal Of Pilates Shapes Your Teaching

    As a Pilates teacher, what do you think is the goal of Pilates? Is it to perfectly execute the choreography? Is it to rehab an injury? To get stronger, more flexible, or more coordinated? To rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit? Is the goal of doing Pilates to meet physical activity guidelines, or is there another goal? There's no right or wrong answer, but your answer will shape how you teach, connect with clients, and approach Pilates exercises. Tune in!

    Giving Individual Attention In A Group Class

    Giving Individual Attention In A Group Class

    Today's episode explore my favorite ways to make students feel seen, safe, and challenged in group classes.

Amazing Podcast and host!

Such an informative and great podcast! I’m studying to become a Pilates teacher and both the Student and Teachers’ Manual helped me a lot.
Olivia also took the time to answer some questions I had which was lovely!
