THINGS THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT BEING A PILATES INSTRUCTOR // good, bad & ugly

Of course after I posted this, about 1000 other ones came to my head. Pilates instructors, what else did I miss? Or what do you wish someone had told you would happen once you started teaching?

i just started teaching lagree and i agree with all of this- there’s no better feeling

Love this video, love your energy! I'm finishing my pilates training now and I hope to be as good as you are!

Why don’t you open up your own studio, you can make so much more money

Thank you so much for your advice here very helpful!!

Feeling so overwhelmed by my studies and it has taken over my life its scary. The starting positions. The words. OMGGGGG

Teaching my first class Sunday!

Love how your passion radiates from your aura! ❤❤❤❤

Screw the person who told you that. There is a million channels out there they can move on. You be you I’ve learned that’s the best way to draw the people that are right for you. From a fellow instructor ❤️

Margaret, nice video! Well done! I totally agree with your values and your concepts! I use a similar structure when I coach my students to become certified Pilates teachers under my 600-hour Comprehensive Pilates teacher training programme and run their own businesses. The formula I teach creates transformations over and over again. My clients come to be because they have had enough of overwhelm, not happy working for someone else, not managing to get by and living paycheck to paycheck. I offer them the possibility to gain a new skill in helping others, which not only gives them personal satisfaction but offers them a very healthy and profitable lifestyle. I'm loving what I do and I thank all my teachers for the skills I can pass on to these people! Sending you love and light!!!

I like your style

Great 👍

How long do you think you should do Pilates before teaching? I don’t know anything about it but I’m very interested

HI! what camera and microphone do you recommend for teaching pilates clients online?
Thank you

I loved everything you said-and I have experienced everything thing you described about teaching Pilates, I am 73 yrs old and have been in the fitness business fir 40 years-starting with Jazzercise. I have been teach Pilates for the last 20 years and I love it. I work with clients from middle age to in their 90"s and I have seen amazing changes in their bodies, from strength, balance, flexibility, posture and attitude. It has been a blessing in my life.

Thank you for this video, it’s confirming my love for pilates and trying to go this route in my carrier. I was so excited watching this 🥰

100% agree with the pilates teaching high!! There's no better feeling than connecting with people and helping them realize how strong they are 💗

Thanks for this. I’m just over a year into my private lessons, and I love them. I love my instructor, and her friend who subs when my teacher is away on holiday or sick. I came to the idea earlier this year that I might continue my education and possibly teach, and my instructor was very supportive of the idea...a few months later she told me that I should teach (and not just because she knew it was something that I was thinking about). So that was reassuring that I am on the right path...just not ready yet for the teacher training as I am still learning things and progressing myself. My goal is for me to make someone feel as good as my teacher makes me feel. In all capacities. Physically, mentally, emotionally...I want to be her to someone else. Preferably to lots of someone elses. ;) I definitely have Pilates brain, and don’t shut up about it to people, and I’m buying more activewear than regular clothes these days.oh, and I voluntarily read Pilates Anatomy (can say that I did learn a lot more than I thought I would, however, a lot is still over my head). I even bought my own copy after I returned the one I read to the library. Turned out to be the second edition, so my teacher brought in her first edition (the edition the library had) and let me take it home to compare more thoroughly than the quick glance we did together. Ummm, so I spent a few hours comparing the two, side by side. Then I reread/skimmed through her copy to see what she had highlighted and made notes on. I kept my nerd badge after that. Lol.

Ones you become an instructor or is learning becoming one, you would look at every individual differently particularly on postural analysis…endless

Just won a scholarship to do a full 500 hours Pilates certification!!! Soooo happy and jus found your page

Does Pilates make you leaner?

Hi Margaret, I need your opinion on which pilates teaching training to go with. I am a fan of of the classical method. Where did you get your training from?

The Pilates Teaching High is so TRUE! 🌈✨ It's incredibly rewarding to connect with your clients and see how your classes help them to feel better, physically and emotionally 😀

I have taken pilates classes for only a few months now, but it is all I think about these days 😂

Thank you for sharing! Can you say which program you chose? It looks like there are 7 main ones... cannot decide! Thanks:)

I have always said that taking a Pilates class leaves you feeling like you took a thousand milligrams of Prozac! Glad to hear the instructors feel it too!

Great video!!

So cute !!!!

Totally agree, Pilates consumes your life

Please talk a lot! Loving your videos, totally getting me through my work day!
