So for me - Roughly 6 months 🤓 Becoming a Pilates instructor can be very expensive if you want to become certified in all the apparatus (different classical Pilates equipment).

So far I have completed my mat and reformer up to advanced level for both. The course fee, course material & travel cost to the location has cost me €4601 to date. I’ve managed to cover the cost of all of this by teaching on the side since October last year and I broke even in march this year. Thankfully I can write most of these costs off for tax purposes to keep tax income low.

Of course you can get a much quicker return if you teach more or sell via social media. Anyone else relate? Or have done it faster?

Let me know 👇🏽

(For context I teach in the Netherlands and online)

💾 Save this gem for later. I use this exercise in almost every class warm up. ⬆️ It is more than just “squeezing” your pelvic floor. You are actively forcing your pelvic floor to coordinate with your deep abdominals (transverse abdominals), your diaphragm and your deep stabilisers which results in much higher pelvic floor activation. Your total core system is working 🔥

How to do the exercise? 👇🏽
• get on all fours, wrists below shoulders & knees below hips
• take a deep breathe in through the nose and push away from the mat (neutral spine)
• then exhale through the mouth to hover the knees 1cm off the mat
• keep breathing and move the knees left and right 8 times (keep arms straight with very soft bend in elbows)
• keep hovering the knees off the mat and pulse into the ball for 8 breathes (you can also use a pillow)
• lower knees down and rest in child’s pose

SAVE THIS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR WEEKLY ROUTINE

If you flair your ribs during practice, you’re not really able to activate your deep core muscles like your transverse abdominals. Think about shifting the ribs down towards your pelvis and or hips. When breathing in - expand the rib cage and on the exhale - draw it downwards.

Linked in this reel is a quick snippet of Pilates breathing to help visualize this even more 🫶🏽

A Pilates ring to help with posture alignment? It totally can be such a great tool to help with scapulae stability and mobility. Bringing the ring towards the back can assist in back extensions especially for those that sit all day. Would you give it a try?
