Pilates Teachers | You don't have to Correct Every One | OPC


I could say more on this topic - but seriously if a Pilates video isnโ€™t asking for your corrections you dont need to give them. Iโ€™m super passionate about the over correcting or Pilates ๐Ÿ‘ฎ on posts because it causes teachers of all shapes and sizes to hide.

To not post. And then people who look like them donโ€™t see teachers like them out in the world. And then they think Pilates is not for them.

And look the comments posted on my past video are not about the teachers size or appearance.

But the are judging the exploration.

Too often I go into Pilates spaces where teachers or clients are afraid to move. To do it wrong.

They are waiting for 7 corrections to start an exercise.

But, if we over correct bodies before they move it makes it harder to see what they need.

So many people will say Pilates meets you where you are. Or it balances imbalances. But when you pick and point out every single disconnect. And the client is trying to keep their shoulders down, ribs in, back long and oh donโ€™t forget to breatheโ€ฆ

You lose out on seeing where other exercises could support the connections they are missing.

TLDR: what if you didnโ€™t try to talk Pilates into a body and instead used other Pilates exercises to support the missing connections.

Yall people can and get to do bad and โ€œuglyโ€ Pilates and still be safe.

Thereโ€™s a space for learning as well.

Teachers unfortunately have to progress faster than they normally would to try out exercises they are going to teach.

Not every exercise is for every body.

And, in an ideal world could take years learning the Pilates system before having to teach it.

So please, my loves, first give yourself space and grace to explore this practice. Find spaces where you can be in process. To learn and explore safely and have fun.

And, also understand when you are doing your personal practice. Which is different than a workshop.

All these spaces have need and usefulness.

Unless someone asks for your feedback on their form let it go.

Honestly, I have more thoughts on this. I am so grateful the women last weekend wanted to give exercises they havenโ€™t seen a try. That they invested in learning and let go of perfection.
