17 years ago today I passed my final exam to become a Body Control Pilates Teacher, and I remember it vividly. The extensive training days at their London studio, ongoing assessments, supervised teaching hours at other instructors studios, and anatomy and Pilates teaching exams. It was a total change of career for me, and a bold and scary step away from being employed to being self employed.
Since qualifying I have always done more than the bare minimum required each year to maintain my professional membership. This has kept me inspired and current with my teaching. I am passionate about Pilates and the positive impact that it has on those that come to classes, but It is without a doubt my clients personal gains from attending Pilates classes that give me the most joy. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing how pilates has helped them. Thank you to everyone who has supported me 🥰
