~Story Time~ As you may know, I started out my professional life as a middle school teacher (which is also why we have an education discount @ Orange Blossom!). While I loved so much about that job, it quickly became overwhelming and I didn’t have much of a work-life balance.
While I was taking one of my weekly Pilates sessions, I was sharing some of my frustrations with education and that I was considering leaving the field. My Pilates instructor listened patiently and then suggested something unexpected: “Why not become a Pilates Instructor?”
Initially, the idea seemed far-fetched. I wasn’t an athlete by any means, and I had only recently discovered the joy of movement through Pilates. It felt like a wild leap, but curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to explore what this could look like.
Fast forward to today, and I can’t help but marvel at how that random suggestion has transformed my life. Becoming a Pilates Instructor has allowed me to connect with people in a deeply fulfilling way, guiding them to feel better through mindful movement. Plus, this career has given me the flexibility and balance I longed for as a teacher.
If anything about my story resonates with you and you’re curious about becoming a Pilates Instructor, I have an exciting opportunity I’d love to share with you! Send me a DM or comment “curious” below. Let’s start a conversation!
