The Pilates Journal

In this issue, we discuss the increasing need to create spaces that serve as sanctuaries for our clients. We hear from Pilates professional @pilatestashb about her desire to create a studio with a lot of heart. We also hear from: • US Pilates professional @pilateswithnickylal , comparing and contrasting working with athletes versus seniors and exploring ways to challenge both types of clients effectively. • @senseofpowerpilates on the strategies she employs to motivate your team and you as a studio owner. • @kr_pilates_physio on how to achieve optimal glute activation without ever having to teach your clients a lunge. • @juliaceaser on why the “abdominal drawing-in” cue may not be as beneficial as once thought. • Anatomy Trains Practitioner @karingurtner_aom @art_of_motion_academy on the transformative power of utilising the bodywide myofascial core for greater somatic integrity and a sense of inner belonging. • @flexiapilates on the future of Pilates equipment and how it needs to evolve before our industry gets left behind. #Pilates #PilatesLife #PilatesWorkout #PilatesEveryday #PilatesLove #PilatesInstructor #PilatesCommunity #PilatesInspiration #ThePilatesJournal #PilatesEducation #PilatesProfessionals #PilatesTips #PilatesReads #PilatesKnowledge #PilatesMindset #PilatesLearning #creatingcommunity #myofascialtraining #pilatesforathletes #pialtesforseniors #soccerplayers #abwall #motivation @leisureconceptsaustralia @pilatesitc Pilatesequip @innaessence @samanthawoodphysio @hfindustries Photography: @lowimpactfit Pilates Model: @leilanifit_

🎓 This month we hear from Pilates teacher and studio owner @oxfordpilates Andrea Jobbagy. She shares with us what she's learned over her years of teaching 🌟 Andrea emphasises that "...the best teachers are my clients - nothing can replace the experience that you gain while teaching and meeting different people with different needs and personalities." Her interactions with diverse clients have enriched her teaching philosophy and approach to Pilates. 📝 Andrea’s Key Insight: "Learn the art of pausing and embracing the concept of 'less is more'. This is particularly important between cues as we need to allow clients time to process initial instructions, absorb cues, and feel their impact before introducing the next instruction." Hear more of Andrea's unique insights in this month’s issue! 📖✨ #PilatesInstructor #AndreaJobbagy #TeachingInsights #PersonalGrowth #StudioLife #PilatesJourney #ThePilatesJournal #Pilates #PilatesLife #PilatesWorkout #PilatesEveryday #PilatesLove #PilatesInstructor #PilatesCommunity #PilatesInspiration #PilatesEducation #PilatesProfessionals #PilatesTips #PilatesReads #PilatesKnowledge #PilatesMindset #PilatesLearning

When choosing the perfect reformer, @seanbergarapilates swears by the M8-Pro from Align-Pilates for its exceptional user-friendliness, inclusivity, comfort, stability, and noise-free design. He tells us more… “There are many reasons I’d encourage you to consider the M8-Pro Reformer in your studio. The ease of moving the gear bar is one of them…[which means] smooth class transitions; but what also makes these machines stand out is that it’s made for all shapes and sizes. The high density of the padded platform assists my students who have tailbone issues. For those who weigh more than the average person, it’s perfect—they don’t feel painful pressure on their knees. “When you do jump work there’s no noise and the thicker risers allow for added spring tension, which is particularly beneficial for athletic reformer work. The smooth curved edges offer hand-holding comfort over the squared corners common on most wood and metal risers.” “In my view, it’s a game-changer that sets a new standard in Pilates reformers,” said Sean. Discover why the M8-Pro Reformer is Sean’s top choice in this month’s issue of The Pilates Journal.
