The difference between a good Pilates class and a great one often comes down to how and when you cue.

After receiving such a positive response from our previous episode on class planning, Nic is back for a solo episode that goes deep into the art of cueing.

Cueing completely changes the experience a client can have in a Pilates class, and Nic shares her advice on the different types of cues you can use to deepen their overall experience.

She discusses verbal cues, imagery, tactile feedback, breath and observation.

Nic explores why less can often be more when it comes to cueing, how to avoid overwhelming clients with information, and how thoughtful language can help people feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to their bodies.
