Does your studio offer a variety of Pilates styles? Most Yoga studios do. As Reformer studios expand, this will become a key differentiator.
Just as premium Yoga studios now offer a variety of Yoga classes such as Yin, Ashtanga, Power, etc., so too, Pilates studios need to cater to the differing demands of clients.
One reason for offering different styles is that different personality types prefer different practices. Check out this interesting study on the topic. Which type are you?!

Two studies have found more health benefits associated with stretching than originally thought.
Most people do a little compulsory stretching before they exercise, but perhaps we should do more. Two studies, one in 2020 and one in 2023, found that stretching was associated with a lower risk of death, separate from other forms of exercise.

Attention teachers!
Do you find yourself talking too much in class, correcting too often, and feeling exhausted by the process?
A new course called the W.A.I.T course (Why Am I Talking?) is available in our shop for just $9.95. It is all about self-monitoring during teaching. You can purchase a band to wear to reinforce the process. "Just as you look at your watch to manage your time, look at your band to manage yourself!"

This short course is a reflective process that asks teachers to focus primarily on their verbal delivery when teaching.
