Power Pilates Comprehensive training

Morgan and I started our comprehensive training with Power Pilates this weekend.  We are already certified by another organization and have been teaching for close to two years, but are really excited to pursue more training.  Pilates is a discipline where you can continue to learn indefinitely.  If you feel that you have mastered the discipline, quite honestly, you are taking from the wrong instructor.

Yes, we are both pilates instructors and we guide many people through challenging workouts.  We have a great rapport with our clients.  We look forward to seeing them, and they look forward to seeing us.  Just this week, a client who had been out of town for a couple weeks came to my class.  I had her working hard and smiling while she was doing it.  When I said something that made her smile, she said, "Oh yes, this is what I've missed!"

I gave this same client homework one day.  She is so excited by her own pilates practice, that the next time she came to class, she gave me her report on what she learned.  She puts a lot into her practice and she gets a lot out of it.  She is gaining strength from week to week.  She is learning more all the time, and is never getting bored because it's always fresh.  She is always being challenged at her level.

Even though Morgan and I are both instructors, we are also both students.  Unless your name is Joseph Pilates, and I know it's not since we lost him many years ago, you are a student and never stop learning the method.  In fact, I really don't think he ever stopped learning, or maybe in his case, his genius creativity is what never stopped working.

As pilates students, Morgan and I take pilates from someone with more experience than we have.  She always asks us how our bodies are doing that day, so if we have a limitation, she can adjust our workout accordingly.  We always leave feeling better than when we went in.  Like my own clients, we are also challenged each week to reach new levels and the material is always fresh, even though Joseph Pilates invented it many years ago.

We are taking our Power Pilates certification from this same instructor.  It is wonderful.  We are learning so much, and it's always a treat for us, and for our clients, when we spend time deepening our understanding of the method.
