BERLIN THIS WEEKEND 🇩🇪

I’m heading to The Practice Lab this Friday, Saturday and Sunday for three days completely dedicated to Pilates instructors.

Friday: One-to-one full apparatus sessions. Only 2 spots left.

Saturday: Injury Awareness for group Pilates instructors. We’ll look at how to make better decisions, adapt exercises and confidently manage injuries without losing the flow of your class.

Sunday: TUCK & PIKE. We’re diving into advanced inversion work across the full apparatus. Think Candlestick, Pikes and Pull-Ups, with practical ways to break them down and build towards them with your clients.

You can join for a single day or come for the whole weekend.

Comment BERLIN and I’ll send you the details, or head directly to The Practice Lab’s website to see all ticket options and book your place.

See you in Berlin 🇩🇪

BERLIN — I’M BACK NEXT WEEK 🇩🇪

I’m joining The Practice Lab for a full weekend of Pilates education from 18–20 September, and I’ll be teaching across all three days.

FRIDAY — 1:1 PRIVATE SESSIONS
A chance to work with me individually using the full Pilates apparatus. Bring questions, exercises you want to understand better, or simply come ready to move and explore.

SATURDAY — INJURY AWARENESS
Do you teach group Pilates classes and sometimes feel unsure what to do when a client tells you they have an injury?

This workshop is for you.

We’ll look at common injuries and conditions you may encounter in group classes, how they can affect exercise choice, and practical ways to modify and adapt exercises in real time — without needing to remember a huge list of modifications.

The goal is to help you make clearer, more confident decisions when teaching the person in front of you.

SUNDAY — TUCK & PIKE: ADVANCED CADILLAC INVERSIONS
Time to go upside down 👀

We’ll break down advanced inversion work on the Cadillac, including Tuck & Pike, so you understand the technique, preparation and progressions needed to practise and teach these exercises with more confidence.

And I’m not the only Aussie heading to Berlin 🇦🇺

Fellow Aussie Dan O’Brien is also presenting — genuinely one of the best in the game when it comes to biomechanics.

There’s an incredible line-up of educators across the weekend. This one is not to be missed.

📍 Berlin, Germany
📅 18–20 September 2026
🎟 Tickets start from €89
Full weekend, single-day and individual workshop tickets available.

PARIS — NEXT WEEK 🇫🇷

Pilates instructors, I’m coming to Paris next Wednesday for TEACH STRONGER REFORMER CLASSES.

And there are only a few Early Bird spots left.

This is a practical workshop for Reformer instructors who want to teach stronger, clearer and more adaptable group classes.

We’ll work through the frameworks I use to:

• Cue movement more clearly
• Layer exercises without overcomplicating them
• Adapt exercises in real time
• Make smarter programming choices
• Confidently teach more advanced Reformer repertoire

No scripts. No sequences to memorise.

Just practical systems you can take straight back into your classes.

PARIS 🇫🇷

14:00–17:00

⚠️ Only a few spots remain.

Got a Pilates instructor audition coming up? Here are four things I’d focus on.

1. Take a class at the studio first.
Don’t just go to move. Observe. Watch the pace, class style, clients and how the instructors cue. Your audition isn’t about showing off your style. It’s showing you can teach within theirs.

2. Have a solid class plan ready.
Not too advanced. Not too basic. Choose something you know well enough that you can focus on teaching the room.

3. Slow down.
Nerves make instructors speak faster. Give yourself space. Your cueing will immediately feel clearer and more confident.

4. Talk to the clients.
Before class. After class. Learn names. Pilates isn’t just about Pilates. It’s about the relationships that happen around it.

Need a Pilates audition class plan? My go-to sequence is inside the app. You can grab it on the free trial and practise before your audition. Link in bio.

This is why your client might be hesitant to drop their hips in Down Stretch.

It’s not always that they don’t understand your cue.

Sometimes they’re just nervous.

If the carriage is already too far away from the stopper, asking them to lower their hips means asking them to lengthen their abdominals while the spring is already stretched.

For someone new to the Reformer, that can feel pretty intimidating.

Before I make this hands-on correction, I’ll often bring the carriage in slightly first.

Less spring stretch.
More security.
Then I can help them find the position I’m actually looking for.

Good hands-on cueing isn’t just about knowing where to put your hands. It’s about creating a situation where your client feels safe enough to respond to the correction.
