Pilates Teachers' Manual

Now is the time to pivot. As a full-time Pilates teacher, stopping teaching entirely is not something I'm able to do. Instead, I've transitioned to offering virtual group and private classes through video conferencing and Facebook Live. While that shift was initially intimidating, the challenges presented by a new way of teaching are also opportunities to grow as a teacher and expand your offerings. Tune in to learn how to make the most of remote teaching!

As Pilates teachers, we rely on other teachers, staff members, and studio owners. This network supports us when we teach, as we look for new studios and opportunities, and, in extreme cases like quarantine, helps us stay sane. Tune in to learn more about what a Pilates network is, why it's so important to have, and how to build your own. Self-isolation tips included! #quaranteam

Here are my tips for leading a Pilates class with confidence.

Here I outline some self-care tips, teaching recommendations, and provide some resources to supplement your income.

This episode is an excellent primer to the client-facing and back-end considerations to make when arranging private sessions in your clients' home.
