The Refresher Course For Pilates Teachers
Have you taken a break from teaching and are nervous about getting back into it? Or maybe you're feeling bored in your teaching journey. The Refresher Course will level up your teaching skills and leave you excited to teach again.
Together, we’ll cover —
How Do I Program A Great Class?
How Do I Cue Effectively?
How Do I Teach A Mixed Level Class?
How Do I Connect With Clients?
How Do I Take Care of My Voice?
How Do I Take Care of My Body?
How Do I Teach With Confidence?
How Do I Build A Class Playlist?
Each topic is broken into three parts: Learn (learn a teaching skill), Move (apply the skill through movement), and Grow (address a mental/emotional component of applying that skill). We’ve found that this holistic approach makes for better and happier teachers.
Designed for Pilates instructors seeking a fresh start, this video course will empower you with confidence, skills, and inspiration. Join us and rediscover your love for teaching Pilates.
