What does it take to make a good Pilates teacher?
It goes without saying (but it seems it’s not always the case these days!) but an initial love for Pilates as a student. We all find Pilates in our own way, but you have to fall in love with it to then choose to make it your profession.
This then leads to genuine enthusiasm to practice, learn and teach, a commitment to deliver the best we can for our clients and a lifelong love for the job.
As teachers, we learn to ‘flex our style.’ We meet our clients where they are and give them what they need. An abundance of empathy is a must and the skill to recognise how to support you. It’s a balance of patience to build skill and strength and encouragement to push you out of your comfort zone.
On top of this, our teacher at Pilates East have spent hours and hours learning, understanding and teaching the Pilates repertoire. It is more than choreography, it is an intelligent collection of exercises and pieces of Apparatus designed to support you physically. To bring clarity and focus to your mind and to show you what you are capable of!
What else would you add? 🥰
