Did you know in Pilates just the tiniest of tweaks create a different exercise??

These three exercises are everywhere — but when they’re done without the right setup, they miss the point (and sometimes create pain).

In this reel:
❌ what we see all the time
✅ the subtle corrections that improve strength, control and outcomes

Your progress won’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing it better.

Quality > quantity. Always.

Let’s talk about “The Core V The Neck”

Did you know your core isn’t your neck 😳🤣??
Your core is designed to stabilise your spine and support movement, your neck has other functions!!
So, you need to know how to focus on the core to prevent your neck from straining - Why does my neck hurt??

➡️ Keep abdominals engaged
➡️ Knit ribcage together
➡️ Breath into the upper back and side of your ribs.

Think activation before you move. Move efficiently, so the right muscles do the work.
🌟🌟 Tell me do you feel Pilates in your Neck??

To every new teacher (or future one)…

There are things you only learn in a Pilates Studio.
From real bodies.
Real questions.
Real moments when the plan changes and you have to think on your feet 😳

That’s what experience gives you — and it’s what good training should prepare you for.

If you’re ready to step into teaching with confidence, clarity, and real-world skill (not just a certificate), this is for you.

Can Pilates Teachers actually count??
In Pilates, “one more” and “last one” are never the same thing 🤣🤣.
BUT Your body knows the difference… and so does your teacher. 😉.
