Love Letters ❤️ for Pilates Teachers

Lead Trainer Phoebe Fennell Teaches a Session

Do You Have Any Idea ….

…how hard your Pilates teacher is working for you?

Better question - do you have any idea how much they love doing it?

I write a lot for the industry but this post is for you, the Pilates lover, the consumer, the devotee. 

I see you working hard everyday and I am in awe of your efforts and your progress. But as I walk through our studios it’s the teachers that catch my eye. They peer at your alignment, hover over your  movements and catch the underside of you at every possible moment. 

And when they do - they light up. They exude joy. They gasp, or hiss or shriek heartfelt exclamations like “that’s it!” Or “gorgeous”.

Your success is their success. They live for it.

They plan your lessons. Tweak each move. And press their colleagues for ideas and inspiration for your programs. 

They sign up for continuing education. They audit weekend seminars - they literally can not get enough. 

In the midst of a routine roll-up or a short spine massage, I know you are feeing your abdominals and working that symmetry and pushing that spinal articulation. But your instructor is a wound up ball of passion and empathy and they feel your every move so deeply and so profoundly that they are often sore just from teaching. Literally, actually sore from pulling their abs in so deep - right there with you.

I’m the luckiest gal in the world that I get to watch students and teachers pushing the limits of their potential every day. I’m even luckier that I have the honor of building some of those teachers from scratch.

But wow - you guys get to enjoy their gifts each day. 

So throw a little Pilates live to your teacher - they deserve it!
