Choosing
a Pilates Instructor 
The experience and certifications of
Pilates instructors can vary immensely. We highly recommend you choose an
instructor who is certified to teach Pilates. Certification may be obtained
through a reputable training facility or school, and should include a number of apprenticeship
hours, and testing prior to certification. Your potential instructor
should be willing to discuss their training, experience and teaching methods.
Determine what your goals are, then choose an instructor who takes an active
interest in your experience, expectations, limitations, and who will help you
meet those goals.
Certified Pilates Instructor, Michelle
Moody, of Pilates Physique, Inc., recommends you ask potential instructors the
following questions:
-
Where were you certified in Pilates?
-
How long have you been a certified instructor?
-
What is your teaching philosophy and specialty?
-
Who would you not accept as a student? (A good Pilates
teacher knows their own limitations)
-
Did your Pilates certification require written and
practical testing?
-
Did it require apprenticeship hours?
-
Were you required to pass Pilates certification tests?
-
May I visit your Pilates studio?
-
May I observe one of your sessions with a client?
(Notice if the Pilates instructor cleans the equipment after each client.
Are clients left unattended?
Would you be comfortable with their teaching style?)
-
Would you be willing to provide me with client
references?
-
How
long are your Pilates sessions?
There is no better way to find the
facility and instructor for you then by asking questions. Get some
recommendations from friends, and plan on visiting a few studios or facilities.
You’ll quickly find the instructor, and environment that is the best match for
you!

Stress
and Aging
Our
bodies were designed for short-term stress responses. The longer the stress
response, the greater the risk to our health.
Balance
and Exercise
Just as we exercise a muscle to strengthen it, we
can strengthen our sense of balance.
Don't
Sit So Much!
Did you exercise today? There is one truth for
everyone with a body, man or woman, "Use it or lose it."
You
Are What You Eat
Getting the nutrients you need makes a difference
in how you feel now, and how your body wears for tomorrow.
