That familiar hum of the Reformer springs is information. Too much push and your client flops back into the carriage. Not enough and the movement never quite arrives.

The springs ask for responsiveness rather than effort, and they keep us honest as Pilates teachers too. Less over-cueing, less chasing shapes, more watching and listening.

Next time you teach Reformer, really listen to them. What do you hear?

When did somebody last read to you?

For most of us, it was when we were small. At Coorie In, I'm going to read to you. It's ten minutes long, with nothing to discuss afterwards and nothing you have to do with it.

That's the spirit of the whole afternoon. Here's how it unfolds:

Coming in. Breath, blankets and shaking off the cold.

Warming through. We start with your hands. They've held everybody all year and nobody has done a thing for them. Then a soft ball and lymph sequence for wherever else is asking.

The lively bit. A Pilates flow, then a dance party to a playlist you choose when you book.

The gloaming. The light goes around four, so that's when we eat. Something warm, and a proper sit down together.

By candlelight. Candles lit, lamps low and a slow ball class in the dark.

Then a few lines in your journal, being read to and a toast to close.

This is an online retreat for Pilates teachers, but it isn't about your teaching this time. It's about you.

It's on Sunday 22 November, 2pm to 6pm UK time, on Zoom. If you're in Australia or New Zealand, book anyway and I'll send you the recording.

The link to reserve your place is in my bio.

Some days it lands. Some days it feels clunky and you wonder whether you've lost your touch. Or is that just me?

The skill isn't getting it right every single time. It's knowing where to look and staying curious long enough for it to show up, in your own Pilates practice and in every 1-2-1 you teach.

You are not behind. You are refining your eye.

Often it's learning more about how you teach the ones you already know, and more about human movement and balance for the individual in front of you.

I love hosting Polestar Pilates teacher training and seeing teachers grow, then go back into their studios and teach familiar repertoire through a whole new lens.

Which exercise have you taught for years that still surprises you?

You spend the year keeping everybody else warm.

You notice what they need, adjust, hold the room and keep them going. By November you're often the warmest thing in your own studio, and nobody has thought to ask how you are.

So I'd love you to come and coorie in with me.

Coorie in is a Scottish word. It means to nestle down somewhere warm when the light goes early, and that's exactly what this afternoon is.

Coorie In is a winter retreat for Pilates teachers, online on Zoom. It's four hours of candlelight, movement, warm food and good company, starting in the last of the daylight and finishing in the dark.

There's nothing to prepare, nothing to achieve and no plan for next year to make. Cameras are optional the whole way through.

You don't need to be a member of anything, and you don't need to have had a good year. It's open to any Pilates teacher who has spent the year looking after everybody else.

Sunday 22 November, 2pm to 6pm UK time
2pm London · 3pm Berlin · 9am New York · 6am Los Angeles

Comment Coorie for the link to book! Come in out of the cold.

What a weekend in Stirling at The Pilates Gathering, with a room full of Pilates teachers choosing to be the student.

Thank you for bringing us all together & for having me.

It began on Thursday with my HOPE for Your Pelvic Floor workshop, taking the ideas from the book off the page & into the body with readings, conversation, your brilliant questions & movement you can take straight back into your classes. Then onto the Reformer for Pelvic Health on the Reformer, & the Chair for Beyond the Repertoire.

What I love most about teaching teachers is that moment when you stop thinking about how you'll cue it & start feeling it in your own body. So often the exercise you already teach every week has so much more in it than you realised, especially when you look at the whole person, pelvic floor included, rather than one isolated part.

This profession can feel lonely when you teach on your own. Being in a room with Pilates teachers who care this much about real people in real bodies is a reminder that you're really not.

Thank you to everyone who came to my sessions, to the organisers & to every presenter who shared their work. I'm heading home tired & very full.

Were you there? Tell me one thing you're taking back into your teaching this week.

I've worked with so many Pilates teachers who worry they don't know enough anatomy. I used to feel scared of it too.

Here's where I'd start with the pelvic floor: it's not a floor, it's a diaphragm. It's synchronised with your breathing diaphragm. And it's formed to work spontaneously.

This is the lens I share through Whole Body Pelvic Health, and it's a window into a deeper way of teaching all your clients.

Comment ESSENTIALS for the mini version of the Whole Body Pelvic Health Mentorship where you can learn the concepts at home, by yourself and begin implementing them in your studio.

You can also comment MENTORSHIP to join the waitlist for the 2027 cohort which will open soon!
