1 IN THIS SPRING ISSUE Spring Training Term 4 Small group equipment classes Client Workshop series Continue TERM 4 DATES & FEES NEWSLETTER Change for the better As I mature as a teacher I find my work is not so much about what I am teaching but how I am teaching it. We have two types of students Type one are those that want to check their Pilates class off their list for the week, job done. You prefer the comfort of the known routine and often fall into the default mode of how you originally learned the exercise at the beginning of your practice. I observe you checking other students in the class to see which exercise we re up to and doing it how you have always done it, like a holding pattern, imposing routine movement on yourself whether that movement serves you or not. Type two are those who like to engage in the process of self discovery. You are observing and listening to what your body needs, exploring new pathways and connections as they present in the teaching. Like sponges you absorb the intricacies and delicacies of the practice that nourish your body and mind, revealing hidden strengths and healing old patterns of movement that were stressful and disorganised and therefore your body thrives. You take this awareness into your daily life finding better ways to do your daily tasks and activities. Type one still benefit from what they are doing, a weekly practice of putting your body through a physical routine. But type two really benefit from the how you connect to the movement and the steady change this brings to you and your life.
