The true purpose of Pilates is to help rebalance the body.

Because no human is perfectly symmetrical, and there is almost always something deeper asking for attention. A hip hike, a sleepyoblique, a place gripping, a place that needs more length, or a pattern that has become the body’s default.

That is part of what makes the work so powerful.

We do Pilates so the body can function with more support, more awareness, and more balance in real life.

And that is also what keeps the work interesting. There is always something deeper to notice, understand, and refine.

You do not have to have it all figured out to begin.

So many future instructors think they need to already feel confident, already know enough, or already see themselves clearly in the role before they start. But so much of becoming a teacher happens through the process itself.

You learn by watching. By practicing. By asking questions. By staying with it. By being willing to grow before you feel fully ready.

That is how teachers are built.

The Ground Pilates Teacher Training is designed to support that process with depth, mentorship, and real support from the start.

Your wrist may not be the real problem.

In weight bearing, I am always looking up the chain first.

In this clip, Laura starts in knee stretch with instability showing up through the hands, wrists, arms and torso. Instead of only focusing on the wrist itself when we hear of that pain complaint, we work up the chain to create better support.

First, we adjust the hand and wrist. She was gripping the footbar with the thumbs underneath, which internally rotated and flexed the wrist more. By bringing the thumb on top of the bar, we can better align the wrist and shift the support into the heel of the hand, just like we would help someone find a more parallel and supported ankle.

Then we look at the elbow. We do not want to lock into it and rotate the elbow too far in opposition to the wrist. The goal is for the elbow pits, or “eye of the elbow”, to face inward toward each other. For many people, this can actually feel bent at first because they are so used to hanging in hyperextension.

Then we go higher and help the support move out of the traps and pecs only and down into the serratus and lats, into that side rib connection that gives the shoulder girdle more real support.

From there, shoulder stability gives us a better chance at spinal stability.

And yes, when this is done well, it can mean moving slower. Because when you are no longer hanging in your compensations, you feel much more clearly what is actually unstable, and it is naturally targeted.

That is also why progression matters. Laura first performs knee stretch with that added support, and then progresses by lifting the knees, showing that we can always add layers once the foundation is there. Thanks Laura Gill for being an amazing model!! 🙏🏻

This is a big part of how I teach inside The Ground Pilates Teacher Training — not just what the exercise is, but how to understand the chain, what is actually asking for support, and how to help clients build from the ground up.

Anyone can learn the shape. Great instructors see the nuance.

They are not just looking at what exercise is happening. They are noticing the body, the nervous system, the learning style, the personality, and the energy in front of them all at once.

That is part of what makes teaching an art.

And that is a big part of what we train at The Ground Pilates Teacher Training.

What actually makes a Pilates instructor feel confident?

It’s rarely natural talent.
It’s rarely personality.

Confidence is built through understanding, repetition, mentorship, and real-world experience.

You learn why exercises work.
You learn how to adapt.
You learn how to trust what you’re seeing.

And perhaps most importantly, you learn that confidence isn’t something you need before you begin.
It’s something you build along the way.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready,” this is your reminder that readiness often comes from taking the next step.
Start now for immediate access, mentorship, and support.

Many instructors leave training knowing the exercises, but end up learning some of the most important parts of teaching later, in their first few jobs, through trial and error.

Things like how to communicate clearly, train your eye, notice patterns and imbalances, use touch with more precision, meet different nervous systems, adapt in real time, and build something sustainable.

Those things matter.

Because great teaching is not just about knowing the work. It is about learning how to see, respond, support, and grow into the kind of instructor people truly trust.

That is a big part of why I believe you should not have to wait to learn those things on the job.

You can start learning them from the beginning.

These monthly lives always inspire me.

Because no two students learn the same way, and no two lives are ever the same. We meet in real time with the questions they have, the observations they are making, and whatever they are moving through in their process.

There is space for laughter, demos, follow-up questions, breakthroughs, and deeper understanding.

That is a big part of what matters to me about this training. Yes, it is fully virtual and self-paced, but it is also meant to feel deeply supported. Different students need different things, and real mentorship makes room for that.

The Ground Pilates Teacher Training is built for depth, flexibility, community, and real-time support that fits real life.

When a client says, “This hurts,” that does not automatically tell us enough.

Pain can mean many different things — soreness, pulling, instability, compensation, sharp pain, nerve-like pain, or a movement that simply is not the right fit in that moment.

That is why follow-up questions matter so much.

They help us understand more clearly what is happening, and they help the client feel more supported, more cared for, and more involved in their own process.

This is also a huge part of how I train teachers at The Ground — not just to know exercises, but to observe, ask better questions, and teach the real human in front of them.

What people get wrong about becoming a Pilates instructor:⁣
⁣
Myth 1: It is just about learning exercises.⁣
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: Great teaching is also about understanding bodies, injuries, compensations, communication, and how people actually learn.⁣
⁣
Myth 2: If you know Pilates well, you automatically know how to teach it.⁣
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: Teaching is its own skill. It takes observation, practice, feedback, and support.⁣
⁣
Myth 3: Strong teaching is only about cueing.⁣
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: It is also about how you hold space, how you work with different personalities, and how you help people feel safe and supported in the room.⁣
⁣
Myth 4: Teacher training is only about technique.⁣
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: A deeper training should also help you understand nervous system awareness, client connection, and the real-life human side of teaching.⁣
⁣
Myth 5: There is only one way to build a Pilates career.⁣
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: This path can grow in many ways, like studio teaching, private clients, virtual work, a second income, or something that evolves and changes over time.⁣

That is a big part of why The Ground Pilates Teacher Training is built the way it is…fully virtual, self-paced, and designed to support real learning, real mentorship, and real life.⁣
