5 things worth knowing before becoming a Pilates instructor...

1️⃣ Not everyone will connect with your teaching style.

And that’s okay. You can’t be the right fit for everyone. Focus on showing up, supporting your clients and teaching with intention.

2️⃣ Teaching takes more energy than you realise.

You’re constantly observing, cueing, adapting and supporting different people. Remember to look after yourself, too.

3️⃣ Good teaching goes beyond impressive choreography.

Master your cueing, programming and fundamentals first. Helping clients understand why they’re doing an exercise will always matter more than making a class look complicated.

4️⃣ You’ll never know everything, and that’s a good thing.

Stay curious, open to feedback and willing to learn. The best instructors always stay a student.

5️⃣ Your character matters as much as your qualifications.

Knowledge is important, but so are kindness, professionalism and consistency. People remember how you make them feel.

If your upper back and shoulders are feeling a little stiff, these foam roller exercises are a good place to start!

They help improve thoracic mobility, open the chest and shoulders, and build better awareness of how your shoulder blades and upper back are moving.

Here’s how to work through the variations 👇

1️⃣ Upper Back Extension

Place the roller across your mid-back with your feet and hips grounded. Support your head, then gently extend your upper back over the roller as you inhale. Exhale to lift your chest and return.

2️⃣ Lat Release & Thoracic Rotation

Lie on your side with the roller under just below the armpit. Keep your knees together and bent. Slowly roll forward, rotating around your ribcage, then rotate back to open your chest.

3️⃣ Shoulder Blade Connection

Lie back on the roller with your spine and head supported. Reach your arms towards the ceiling and gently squeeze your shoulder blades into the roller, making your arms feel “shorter”. Release to lengthen them again.

4️⃣ Chest & Shoulder Opener

Lie back on the roller and bring your arms into a cactus position. Let your chest soften towards the floor, then move your forearms towards your hips and back again, rotating from the shoulder joints.

5️⃣ Shoulder Extension

Kneel with your hands on the roller and arms beside your ears. Hinge forward from your hips, then extend your arms next to your ears as far as feels comfortable, keeping the rest of your body still.

6️⃣ Quadruped Thoracic Rotation
Start on all fours with the roller beside you. Place one hand on top and rotate your upper body towards the roller, keeping your hips as still as possible.

Small, controlled exercises can make a big difference to how your upper body feels and works.😌

📌 Save this post and come back to it the next time your shoulders and upper back need a little extra attention.

Maybe it’s best for all of us that we don’t actually sing through these microphones. 😂

But there is something oddly powerful about putting on a headset before class...

Any other instructors agree? 👀👇

Sometimes the smallest adjustments make the biggest difference. ☝️

In Pilates, it’s not about working harder - it’s about moving better.

These simple cues can completely change how an exercise feels:

✨ Press the floor away instead of sinking into it. This creates space through your shoulders and helps activate your upper back.

✨ Let your shoulders soften away from your ears. Less tension in your neck means your body can move more freely.

✨ Keep your chest open and your collarbones broad. This gives your shoulder blades the support they need throughout the exercise.

When your body is positioned well, the right muscles can do the work. You’ll move with more control, build strength where it matters, and get so much more out of every exercise.

Spend a lot of time at a desk? 🖥️📈

These 5 exercises can help mobilise your hips and improve upper back mobility - and all you need is a wall.

Here’s how to work through the variations 👇

1️⃣ 90° Pelvic Curl

Place feet on the wall slightly higher than knees. Tuck your pelvis towards your nose and peel your spine off the floor. At the top, squeeze your glutes and lengthen through your hip flexors before articulating back down through your spine.

2️⃣ Kneeling Single Leg March

Kneel an arm’s length from the wall with your hands supported. Keep your body upright and stabilise through your standing glute as you open one knee to the side and step the foot forward from the hip. Repeat on both sides.

3️⃣ 90/90 Lunge with Thoracic Rotation

Kneel with your back knee against the wall and one foot forward. Rotate your chest away from the wall, then lift and rotate towards it. Keep your torso as close to the wall as possible throughout.

4️⃣ Seated Lateral Lean

Sit against the wall, hands behind your head. Keep the your hands against the wall as you lean to one side. Keep both sit bones grounded. Repeat on the other.

5️⃣ Seated Single Leg Lifts

Sit against the wall and draw one knee towards your torso. Hold it there. Lift the opposite leg as high as you can without your back coming away from the wall.

📌Save this post to come back to the next time your desk has had you sitting for a little too long!

If “tuck your pelvis” has always left you feeling confused... you’re not alone. 🫶

It’s one of the most common Pilates cues, but it’s often misunderstood.

Here’s what to think about instead 👇

✨ Start by finding a neutral pelvis. Rather than forcing a tuck, think about creating a balanced starting position.

✨ Move from your core, not your hips. Use your exhale to gently engage your deep abdominals and let the exercise happen with control.

✨ Less is more. A small adjustment is often all you need. The goal isn’t to flatten your back - it’s to create stability so the right muscles can do the work.

At MWM, we believe understanding 𝘸𝘩𝘺 you move is just as important as 𝘩𝘰𝘸 you move.

We’d love to welcome you into our studio. 🤍
