Exploring Different Tools for Teaching Advanced High-Level Students

Pilates Exchange

Taking on a class or training session with an advanced student might sometimes evoke a sense of uncertainty regarding what we, as their instructors, can offer them. This can be especially true when their physical practice looks ‘already perfect.’ It’s in this space, that it’s important to remember that we are here to help people move, enjoy, and love being in their bodies. Today, join in as we explore different tools that can help us deepen the practice of our high-level dancers or athletes. Tune in for deeper insights, which will help you, as an instructor, approach working with professional athletes openly and confidently while catering to their specific needs and achieving exceptional results. Movement is, after all, the joy that integrates us all together.
