Petra joined us for Pilates Teacher Training and I wanted to share her story with you, as I know that many of you have similar feelings and doubts, as Petra!​

"When I started this course I really wasn’t sure I’d be able to teach Pilates at all. There was so much to learn and remember and then having to stand up in front of everyone and actually teach was very daunting.​
​
​
Even as I was going to my third weekend of the course I still didn’t feel confident that I would be able to.​
​
​
But that third weekend was a game-changer for me. Lots of different exercises like ‘defend your position’ where we had to confidently explain why we did something a certain way or cueing an exercise and my fellow course mates did it all ‘wrong’ so I had to correct them. These were so useful and when Tanja asked me on the last day to describe how I felt with one word I said 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑭𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑵𝑻 ​😊
​
​
Both Tanja and Paul are excellent teachers and they make you feel so good about becoming a teacher yourself and I would recommend their teaching course to anyone who wants to become a GOOD Pilates teacher”​

​
​
Watching our new teachers on their first weekend and they’re nervous (as you would expect) and they develop their skills over the following weekends …..​
​
and then on the last weekend BOOM….​
​
​
You can literally see everything slot into place and that’s when our learners BECOME TEACHERS!​
​
​
And this is what my 𝑔𝑜𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠! ​ ​
​
​
​
If you feel confident you will:​
​
​
💠 ​ ​ Have fun​
💠 ​ ​ Actually follow through and teach their own classes​
💠 ​ ​ Help massive amounts of people as they know how to feel present with them​
​
​
​
We’ve spent years designing our courses so you can get the most experience, knowledge and confidence as you can, within the time that we have you and it works, just like it worked for Petra and all the other teachers that have completed their training with us :)​

Have you been thinking about taking Yoga classes?
Sign up now and get a free taster.😲👊

We hope to see you on the mat soon!😊

The goal of meditation isn't to control your thoughts, it's to stop letting them control you.🧘

Let's make friends with our minds.
Stay meditated my friends.😉💜

​
​
This is quite a common question, especially since some people think you need a special teaching qualification to teach adults.​
​
​
The reason people think this is the case is because they think they’re just going to be taught Pilates or Yoga. ​ Unfortunately this is the case with some teacher training courses. ​ They make sure you can identify the poses and know all the stuff in your head, but they may not be teaching really important skills for becoming a TEACHER.​

✅ ​ How to read the body in front of you​
✅ ​ How to using different teaching techniques (Demo VS Voice)​
✅ ​ Understanding what “clients” hear when you’re teaching​
✅ ​ ​ Learning how to be concise in your words and cue’s to get people to do exactly what you want them to do.​
​
We don’t believe in giving people a certification where they just know the moves hypothetically but don’t really know HOW to teach it to various people. ​ ​ ​

​
​
You learn all of the moves, the name, the what to do’s, the how to do it. ​AND you also learn how to show up in your own body and mind as a teacher and create a wonderful experience for people in your class! ​𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑏𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑢𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒.​​
​
​
​
There are no prerequisite courses that you have to complete before you join us. The Level 3 qualification with us, ​ will help you to develop your skills, knowledge and confidence to be a good teacher :)​
​
We’ve designed our courses to give you lots of experience by the time you’ve completed your training.​
​
Here’s how we do that :​
​
👉We get our studio clients in to come and play with us so that you can get “real” experience teaching people other than those just on your course​
​
👉We do lots of teaching skills exercises, which we’ve made fun and we have a laugh - learning doesn’t have to be from a text book or boring!​
​
👉We have lots of time allocated to practise teaching whether that’s in pair or small groups etc the more you teach the better you’ll get so we ensure that a large majority of the course is you teaching and not just sitting listening to lectures.​
​
​
If you’re thinking about this but have zero teaching experience then wonderful! ​ ​ You know we welcome you. ​ ​ ​ If you have teaching experience that’s wonderful too, but we are going to supply you with not just the knowledge about Pilates and Yoga, we are going to supply you with the applied practical experience in teaching to help you be the person who can stand up in front of a group and feel confident leading them so you can share your love of Pilates and Yoga!​
​
​
If you’re interested in becoming a teacher and the idea has been floating around - maybe it’s time to investigate it a little further! ​ ​ Get in touch and ask me any questions and then you’ll know for yourself if this is something you can take further!​
​
You never know until you try!​
​
​
Lots of love​

✨Monday✨
Time to get to work.💜

Slow down...It's Sunday💜

​
​
We hear this so often from people wanting to do their course they’re worried they just won’t have time, especially those with children and full time jobs.​
​
​
This is one of the key reasons why we at Elite Pilates & Yoga Teacher Training have structured our courses the way we have, as we take this into consideration real people and real lives and it can be hard to study and get all the work done.​
​
​
BUT did you know ….​
​
​
That’s exactly why we have set things up so that the sooner you register the more time you give yourself?​
​
​
So let’s say for example you were thinking about doing your course next year, did you know that you can actually register now and start with all the self-study elements of the course.​
​
​

​
​
Our teacher training courses are designed 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 so some of it can be done in your own time at home, and some of it is done with us at the studio and we also allocate time at the studio for you to complete some work :)​
​
​
AND…..​

​
It is rare for people to take that additional time, but life challenges do pop up and there is that option to use the full 2 years if necessary :) ​ ​ meaning that you don’t need to stress or put additional pressure on yourself!​
​
​
​
YES there is a time commitment to doing your teacher training, as there would be when you learn any new skill or get a new job, however when you do your teacher training this is for YOU and YOUR family.​
​

​
​
When you start your own classes and you can choose the hours you want to work you’re actually going to give yourself time back with your family instead of having to stick with a job that dictates what time you have to work and what days you can off. ​ ​ ​
​

​
It’s time to invest in your teacher training so that you can then be in charge of your time and it really is a lot more flexible, workable and more doable than you may think. ​ ​
​
If this is sounding exciting to you, but you think you won’t have time, reach out and I’m happy to walk you through the elements and how much time you’ll need for each part of the course and it’ll give you a better sense of whether or not this is the right time for you.​
​
You can get in touch by either emailing me or sending me a message or even if you want to come along to the studio and I can show you some of our previous teachers work so that you can see for yourself what’s involved :)​

Lots of love​
