Our job as Pilates teachers involves observing - movement, alignment, breath, effort, ease, control...to name a few. This observing is definitely a skill and it takes practice and focus. In the observing it is so important to always be curious - hmmm....huh...and keep observing. Soon, the understanding will become clear or a great question will form to ask the client.
While we teach we do guide with words WHILE we observe. A lot is going on for the teacher (and the client during a lesson.
So, what's my point? Well, in all this observing you learn about the client and then you teach them in a way that makes sense for them, you emphasize a part of an exercise that makes sense for them and....as time goes on you have these incredible moments of "LOOK AT THAT!!!". This moment is the moment where you see control, ease, strength of something that is healthier, more efficient and yes more beautiful in their movement. That's the win. That's the joy.
Like so many things in life it takes time, practice and patience.
This is the amazing partnership we develop with our clients.
We so love it and we live for those "Look at that moments"!!
