PSA: Students should be the ones getting the workout - not the teacher🙅🏻‍♀️ Pilates Instructors - I know this may be hard to hear, and no shade truly this comes from a place of love…

💡You should be able to teach your entire class without ever showing one single exercise. If you can’t - it’s a sign there’s room for growth.

Now, is it a crime to occasionally hop on a machine to quickly demonstrate one tiny aspect of an exercise? No. I do it too - but VERY sparingly and as a last resort. Let’s talk about why…

❌ It brings the cadence of class and any semblance of flow to a dead halt.
❌ Causes the clients (the one who got kicked off & the rest watching) to stop moving…which is what they came & paid $$$ for.
❌ Can come accross as the teacher “showing off” and fishing for compliments.
❌ May knock the students confidence and degrade their self esteem (“she can do it, why can’t I? What’s wrong with me?”)
❌ If the teacher is working out during a class they aren’t effectively doing their job: watching, cueing, correcting, manually adjusting, spotting etc.

✨Imagine your whole class was blindfolded - how smartly & intentionally would you have to use your words to get your students doing the exercises safely & effectively? Food for thought!
