First teaching

I have been practice teaching with one of the other instructors a few times and tomorrow I get to practice teach on my case study, AB!!!  I am excited and hope that all goes well.  I think that we will do the reformer or the cadillac.  I have been working with AB doing mat at home and there has been much progress!  I am spreading the love of Pilates!

Before and After

It is said that you will be in the best shape of your life when you get thru the teacher training program because of how much time you put in!  I am excited.  I am going to be making a "try out" video which will be me on the reformer going thru the repertoire.  I am a bit nervous but have been doing the list of exercises and I think that I can effectively get them done in 50 minutes.  

I can already tell a change in my body.  My posture is getting much better and I am so much more aware of my body.  Throughout the day I think of things like "are my knees locked, why am i crossing my legs, am i standing up straight"...  Also, while at work or around a lot of other people I am trying to assess their posture or body connection.  This is hard to do unless you are a people watcher like me!

BAD Blogger

OK, so learning to teach pilates and planning a wedding, and working is a lot!  I am here to devote more time to this blog.  I want it to be used for its purpose and not forgotten!  I will be updating it very soon with all that I have been doing!

I did teach pilates yesterday in the studio, on the reformer for the first time!  It was nerve-racking, but I MADE IT THRU!  I taught one of the instructors which was good and got some good feed back as well as learned a few pointer tips!  It was fun but very different coming from the angle of a teacher instead of a student.  More to come!
