𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐅 𝐈 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐈’𝐌 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒!!

One of the most common things I hear from those wanting to do their Pilates OR Yoga Teacher Training is …..

“What if I can’t remember the muscles or names of the exercises”

We all have those little gremlins sitting on our shoulders saying what if this and what if that. 👺

You love how pilates or yoga has helped you in your own life and you want to make sure that if you’re going to do this – you’re not going to make a fool of yourself.

And you’re serious about your training and want to make sure that you get the most out of it – but you are still really worried about all the names and body parts! 🦴

You must remember that you aren’t going to be assessed on whether or not you know the anatomy and the names of the exercises like a parrot.

You’re going to be assessed on how you teach them!

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 ❣️

On our Teacher Training courses, one thing that we encourage our teachers to do (and in fact you can even start to do this now too) is to go to as many different classes and teachers as possible.

People have different teaching styles and you’ll mould into your own style too.

For example.

Paul who is my partner in life and business (isn’t he a lucky man!) teaches using a lot of anatomy and explanations BUT that is Paul’s background. He has studied anatomy for nearly 20 years and it’s his passion.

***(It’s so wonderful because Paul actually teaches all the anatomy on our course and we go way more in-depth training, which not many training providers can offer!)***

Even though I love that Paul can teach this to our students, it’s not my passion when I teach! I love to teach more with feeling eg “can you feel this or can you feel that”.

I do occasionally refer to muscles, but I use lamens terms. Bum, leg, calf etc rather than the scientific name, as some people’s eyes just glaze over and they have no idea what you’re talking about.

Some people prefer Paul’s class and some people prefer my class. You will attract a certain person to your class.

And if all else fails – Paul makes names up that resonate with him for example JACKNIFE he calls KNICKERS ON KNICKERS OFF, which normally gets the ladies giggling!

You’ll develop your own style of teaching and people will come to your classes because of how you make them feel so cared for and looked after in your class, not your ability to remember the names of the exercises.

I hope that helps to ease any fears you might have about doing your teacher training. The fact that you actually have these fears just goes to show that you do really care about becoming a teacher so don’t let the fears get in the way of something you really want to do!

If this is really resonating with you send me a message and let me know what’s stopping you from doing your teacher training!

Lots of love

𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 & 𝐘𝐎𝐆𝐀 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐍'𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘❓

I remember about 5 years ago I went through a period of not wanting to teach at all.
I questioned whether or not I was actually making an impact on anyone’s life.

𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐲?

This happens to teachers all the time and only recently I saw this is another group.....
All teachers go through this when they’re not being recognised or told how much they’re helping.

This is why testimonials from your clients are so important !

Not just to use as part of your marketing, but also to help you realise just how much you can and do help people.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭:
"I can actually keep up with my grandchildren"
"I’m not in pain anymore and I can actually dress myself"
"I don’t suffer with a bad back anymore"
"I’ve come off all my medication"
"I’ve stopped my anxiety/depression meds"

These are only a few of the things that I hear on a regular basis…

BUT …

I wanted to introduce you to someone who I helped and just made being a teacher so awesome…

A little bit of background first…

When Linda started with me, she was in an awful amount of pain after several operations on one foot.

I know Pilates is great, but it wasn’t going to be helping with the issues that Linda had…..

BUT……

Linda opted to have an amputation and it took about 6 months for Linda to get back to the class, less one foot.

It is amazing what a positive mindset and a sense of humour can do to the healing process.

Her doctors were amazed at how quickly she recovered from the surgery and she was soon ready to start with learning to walk again.

I had no experience working with someone who had just had an amputation so it was a big learning curve for me, but I was honest and said to her that we can figure it out together.

She already trusted me as a teacher and it was absolutely fascinating how getting your foot chopped off affects the rest of the body so much, and how everything in the body is truly connected.

I don’t teach Linda anymore as I’m not in Plymouth, however, I passed her onto one of our teachers who qualified with us so that I know Linda will continue to get excellent care and service.

Linda still pops up to the studio for some reformer sessions every now and again and is game for anything and works really hard.

She had to learn how to use some of the muscles again and we really targeted certain areas to help build strength and stability in the amputated side. The stronger and more stable the glutes and hamstrings could be the better she’d be able to walk.

One of the consultants she went to see prior to her surgery told her she’d never walk again and really tried to discourage her from having the operation, but Linda is one determined cookie...

The photos were 7 months after her surgery. She was determined to walk into his office and prove him wrong!

So…….

You still think that the impact Pilates & Yoga teachers can have isn’t much???

Linda is an incredible woman and I was lucky to share that experience with her. It made me a better teacher and taught me so much about how important having a positive mindset is to help heal the body!!!!!

There are people out there needing teachers like you to help them make their lives better in one way or another…..

𝐁𝐄 𝐀 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓!
