Hello community!
The October Theme of the Month is now live!
OCTOBER — CREATE THE HEAT
October is about energy, heat and challenge. This month we explore how to increase the pace and intensity of a Pilates class while maintaining control and intention.
As teachers, we sometimes underestimate what our clients are capable of. Creating challenge means taking someone one step beyond what they think they can do, without taking them so far that they lose control, compensate or risk injury.
We’ll use the Jumpboard, quicker transitions, cardiovascular intervals and faster-paced classes to explore the difference between simply making something hard and creating intelligent challenge.
