This episode is for you! We're diving into why exploring movement outside of Pilates can make you an even better instructor and enrich your personal life.

Discover how trying new forms of movement can deepen your understanding of the body, build stronger connections with your clients, and provide fresh perspectives for your teaching. You'll learn how embracing diverse movements can help you empathize with clients' non-Pilates activities, prevent burnout, and even boost your class attendance. Plus, find out why engaging in movement purely for yourself, without the pressure of teaching, is vital for your well-being. It's time to expand your movement horizons – your clients (and your body!) will thank you.

  2. The ceramics story about people tasked with making 100 pots versus the group tasked with making one pot is from David Bayles and Ted Orland's book: Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking. It's not a study, but it does resonate with how we develop as Pilates teachers.

Bre completed her comprehensive Pilates training through Balanced Body in 2011 and has since taught Pilates at several studios in Colorado, South Dakota and now Utah. Forever a movement nerd, Bre decided to take her teaching knowledge further in 2013 and began her training in the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. She is now a Certified Level 1 & 2 GYROTONIC® Instructor and is also trained to teach on all accessory equipment; the Archway, GYROTONER®, Jumping-Stretching Board, and Leg Extension Unit. Additionally, she is currently a GYROKINESIS® apprentice teacher. She is also back in school completing her PhD at the University of Utah in Health & Kinesiology with an emphasis on Cognitive & Motor Neuroscience.

As a Pilates teacher, you know what exercises to avoid for a pregnant client, but do you know the reasoning behind those protocols? More importantly, do you know how Pilates can help your pregnant clients stay strong, pain-free, and recover safely  postpartum?

I didn't, so I took Katrina Foe's course on Personalized Pregnancy and Postpartum. It was amazing, enlightening, and a game changer for me, so I had to share some highlights of what I learned. You can check out Katrina's course here: *https://bit.ly/PilatesPregnancy* 

Pilates Students' Manual will have new episodes coming out starting Saturday, June 13. You can listen to the trailer and those new episodes here: https://bit.ly/studentsmanual and find it everywhere you listen to podcasts.
