Three reasons that make me a really bad Pilates instructor…

…if I listened to all the outside noise

Before you start any journey find your *why*, cause when that’s solid and clear everything you build from there will be a success because it’s true to you.

I was recently speaking to a friend living in another city who mentioned she wished that she could show up to classes without make up, but because the teacher and all students show up with it, she felt she needs to as well.

Being able to create a space for you to show up exactly how you want to is something I hope to achieve by being “unprofessional”

I’ve built a style of teaching that isn’t trying to be for everyone, it’s for someone, and those who find it stay.

When I needed to complete endless hours of teacher training, I asked the support of my friends and every. single. one. showed. up.

I know my limits, and I honor them, because a teacher who is not looked after cannot look after anyone else.

Rest is not the opposite of commitment, it is what makes my commitment last

Yes, i’m a chocolate ice cream gal 😘

Talking about money wasn’t always easy for me, because we live in a world that tells you to keep quiet, to stay in line, to not ask questions, to not ask for more.

Over the years I’ve realized when I talk about money, the easier it’s become for me to make informed decisions. Financial transparency has helped me decide for myself what I value, what lifestyle I want to live and then go and find ways to earn to fulfill that.

We live in a system that feeds off asymmetric information, usually at our expense. So step by step let’s take action to inform ourselves ⭐️

Non-negotiables for all my Pilates classes!

They show some of my core values as a teacher and therefore I never compromise on them 🙏🏼

Friendly reminder: let’s also fuel our bodies BEFORE we exercise, not only after 🫶

When the doctor literally prescribes you Pilates 😮‍💨 it feels so good to be back!

I got in an accident and had to take some weeks off, so thankful that my body was able to bounce back so fast. Both the orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist credited the strength of Pilates for my quicker recovery.

Jackknife to teaser - let’s keep getting stronger together 💛

Financial transparency is so important to me. When it comes to money, knowledge is truly power! I hope by sharing these details it gives you real data that can help motivate you to keep track of your own earnings and maybe even help to negotiate a higher wage 💸

this week started super meh 🫤 I was gonna sulk in my mood for the rest of the week until I realised…I’m in control of my life and I’m gonna turn this week around

after every step I felt more and more grateful for this life until at the end of the day I literally had tears in my eyes cause I was so full of joy & peace

it’s easy to sit in that bad mood, sometimes it’s even healthy to embrace it. but other times it’s important to remember to pick yourself up and step by step bring that joy back into your life!

I’m really interested how salaries in this industry vary. What are you earning and are you able to find peace with that amount?

Right now the endorphins and joy in building my community is paying so much into all the extra hours I put in as I start my teaching journey!

But at the end of the day it is the money that ends up paying the rent & bills…

I AM A CERTIFIED MAT & REFORMER PILATES TEACHER 🥹🥳

A good amount of this year has been spent pursuing this new quest. And like anything I set my mind to, I gave my 120% in every step, showing up consistently with discipline and persistence (photo was taken after a weekend of exams in 40 degree heat!!)

What this proves once again is that life is truly in your hands to grasp and control.

I want to make clear that I did none of this alone. But with the unconditional support of my community of friends & family. I am so insanely grateful for all of you that have shown up, cheered me on and been patient through all *hold here’s* 🤣💛
