Advanced Reformer Pilates: Affective Cueing Tips 1

Here is a sneak peek at what is included in my latest workshop! Not only does the workshop video package include a 4 hour workshop featuring 4 of my favorite box flows, I have also included several short videos on teaching tips like this one here. Growing up with a learning disability I know first hand what it is like to not understand instruction. My first pilates teacher was a good teacher, extremely knowledgeable and really knew the pilates work inside and out. However I was always confused in her classes. She used giant anatomy terms and never demonstrated the movements visually. I spent half the class looking around to see what the other students were doing. I am clearly not dumb or even slow. I am very bright, I just process information differently. I tried teaching like her at first but then realized if I have to look up these giant anatomy terms odds are my clients will not know them either, making those cues very ineffective. Besides a good teacher should be able to relay the information in a way their students easily understand. So I began cueing my clients in a way someone like myself would understand. I always tell my teacher trainees “keep it simple”. The shorter the direction or cue the better. I like to cue one thing at a time. 1 cue per rep at first. Teaching this way allows me to teach large groups with a mixed population much easier.

Fabulous! I took teacher training back in 2004 and that’s what turned me off of teaching, the endless and overly detailed cuing. Too much for my brain. Maybe I’d be teaching today if I would have trained with you. Again, fabulous and thank you.
