Daisy & Heath: Strategies for teaching Pilates in group settings
In this new episode, Daisy shares her journey as a Pilates instructor transitioning from a traditional studio model to a small group reformer setting.
She discusses the challenges of teaching diverse abilities in a group and the importance of implementing layers and clusters in her classes. Daisy also reflects on her business growth and the emotional dynamics of clients in a group setting, emphasizing the need for a unique teaching system that accommodates various skill levels.
Daisy and I discuss various strategies for teaching Pilates, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by clients during exercises like 'feet in straps' and lunges. We explore the importance of adapting techniques for different body types, creating a supportive environment, and managing exhaustion in group settings. We also emphasize the need for a structured approach to progression, ensuring that all clients feel included and capable of improving their skills over time.
