Master your Matwork teacher workshop

Sunday 7th December 10pm - 1pm

A workshop for teachers to explore and delve deeper into the Classical Matwork.

Taught by studio owner and qualified teacher trainer Lauren, we will break down the exercises and build them back up again!

Fine tune technique, find the connections and look at ways we can modify without losing the essence of the exercise.

We will also look at props (magic circle, weights and band) and how we can use them to help our clients achieve the exercises.

A few spaces available. Get in touch with any questions. Lauren 💛

What does it take to make a good Pilates teacher?

It goes without saying (but it seems it’s not always the case these days!) but an initial love for Pilates as a student. We all find Pilates in our own way, but you have to fall in love with it to then choose to make it your profession.

This then leads to genuine enthusiasm to practice, learn and teach, a commitment to deliver the best we can for our clients and a lifelong love for the job.

As teachers, we learn to ‘flex our style.’ We meet our clients where they are and give them what they need. An abundance of empathy is a must and the skill to recognise how to support you. It’s a balance of patience to build skill and strength and encouragement to push you out of your comfort zone.

On top of this, our teacher at Pilates East have spent hours and hours learning, understanding and teaching the Pilates repertoire. It is more than choreography, it is an intelligent collection of exercises and pieces of Apparatus designed to support you physically. To bring clarity and focus to your mind and to show you what you are capable of!

The ideal weather to hide away with a good book 📖 ☔️

This is just a selection of our favourite Pilates related books that we return to regularly. Some greats from and of course, Return to Life and Your Health by the main man.

We are more than happy to lend these out to clients, in fact we absolutely love it when you want to delve deeper and discover more about Pilates. Please just ask!

The magic of Pilates is the history; the lived experiences of teachers and clients across the world 🌎 and the openness to share different interpretations, teachings and stories

In Classical Pilates, we repeat exercises to build skill, hone technique and refine our understanding.

Details matter. We’re not looking for perfection but we do want to move with precision and intention.

This brings focus to your workout and encourages the mind/body connection. Overtime, small corrections lead to big changes. Without you even realising they’re happening!

A glimpse behind the scenes 👶🏼

Running a business whilst also having a young family is a juggle to say the least. Both my children have already spent hours in the studio whilst I teach, on the playmat when I’m teaching online and in the carrier or on my lap whilst I work at my laptop. Despite the overwhelming feeling that I’m never doing enough for either - family/business, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m not really sure why I’m showing this but maybe it’s just to highlight the realities of our studio. We’ve had some devastating news recently within our family and it’s made me stop and reflect on everything that Pilates East gives me, the teachers and our clients. I’m so, so grateful.

Yes we love Pilates, but really it’s all about the connection 🫶🏻 the chats before and after class, the waves across the street when you see someone outside of the studio, the moment you notice someone tune in and switch off, the tears when clients feel comfortable to talk honestly and openly and the laughs! Thank you 🙏 for making us part of your day/week/year x
