How can a Professional Pilates Instructor help?

Professional Pilates instructors can manage these differences and risk factors by cueing individuals separately, and still keep the group moving. Excellent Pilates instructors will:

  • Use a combination of direct (audible), tactile (appropriate contact), and visual cueing techniques.
  • Help participants understand and achieve the goals set by the exercise combinations.
  • Work the class skillfully within a generic format aimed at the general level of the group, whilst accommodating individual needs.
  • Use the latest exercise science knowledge to maximise results and minimise risk. This is how Pilates has developed over the last 80 years, particularly Pilates in Australia.
  • Focus on activating under-used core postural muscles and deactivating over-used larger global muscles, through movements/pilates exercises.
  • Combine all of the above to communicate the intent of each exercise.

" I’ve been doing pilates at Pilates Can for about 6 years now and it has greatly improved my flexibility, strength, and helped me manage and reduce back pain. When I first started, I had severe tightness in my lower back and even struggled to put on shoes and socks. Now I have regained most of my mobility and can even touch my toes!"

Why participate in a Pilates Beginners Mat Course rather than just a trial mat session?

Pilates provides fantastic benefits for participants including: a whole body workout, focusing on core strength and more functional movement. This invigorates participant's ability to move freely, i.e. with less pain and more efficiency. We are made to move and we should enjoy it.

We keep our Pilates Matwork classes small (maximum of 6 participants) to help you achieve those benefits. This way our Canberra Pilates studio instructors can deliver more personalised direction for clients based on their differing needs.
