I don’t think I have written about new things for a while…and this one is excellent!!
Yesterday was Sunday,that isn’t the new thing. For a long time I have had a Pilates class on a Sunday, that isn’t the new thing either. The new thing is that at yesterdays Pilates class, instead of being a participant, I was the teacher!
OK I was a cover teacher filling in for Sarah who was busy having a birthday.
OK I didn’t cover it with Pilates I covered it with my own made up blend of core and conditioning work.
Those things are not the point! The point is, it was a real class at a real leisure centre and I was in charge!
It went ok, the class participants are mainly middle aged plus and not into jumping about so I had to plan a calm class that focused on core strentgh and “toning”. I spoke to a few afterwards and they apparently didn’t hate it, so that is ok 🙂 Not hating it counts as a win in my books 😀
This is great! I can’t imagine how nerve-wracking that must have been, but the sense of achievement afterwards must have been brilliant. Well done – so excited for you!!

it was really nerve wracking! It is not the sort of class I normally take and it was very quiet and calm…not like me at all!
It was awesome afterwards though 🙂

Absolutely!
Have you given any thought to becoming certified to teach pilates?

No, not really… It is a long and expensive qualification! And, although I love doing it, I don’t think it really suits my teaching style!
