In my quest to support Pilates teachers (and clients) from all lineages, I've come up with some simple ways to help everyone organize Pilates exercises so that both teaching and learning are easier.

Mnemonic devices (like "i before e, except after c") are what I use. In this episode I explain what they are and how to use them to make your life easier.

I keep reading more and more accounts of people being injured in larger mixed-level Pilates classes, especially on the reformer. This increase is due to a number of factors, including owners who don't know Pilates and think cheapest apparatus is best, teachers who are rushed through training, and the divisiveness in the Pilates world, which makes continuing education difficult.

Here I talk about some easy ways to appropriately choose exercises, as well as what NOT to do.

I've been asking the question lately about how Pilates teachers approach clients with back pain. I lead with Romana's "bad back, keep flat". This simple approach keeps my clients safe, and here's why I love it.
