My Pilates Instructor Course experience ✨

⭐️ Why?: I started pilates last year when I started working. I initially didn’t think much of it but my shoulders felt so free after the first reformer session (like all the tension had melted away 🥹). With subsequent sessions, I saw improvements in my posture, strength, and stability. I also enjoyed how classes were relatively lower in impact and intensity (not a fan of hiit 😅). I hence decided to do an instructor training course to 1. Deepen my own practice and know what I should be looking out for in each exercise 2. Teach in the future.

🌸Course: I was debating between the BASI or STOTT courses but ended up choosing STOTT because the timing suited my schedule better.

🌻My experience: I signed up for the intensive mat course at Breathe Pilates and it was 8 days of 1-6pm lessons. Topics covered include principles, matwork repertoire, and posture analysis. We spent time teaching each other and learning about different modifications for different needs. After the course ends, we are required to do 10 observation hours, 15 teaching hours, and 30 practice hours before we are eligible to take the exam to become a certified instructor!

I really enjoyed the course and wanted to sign up for the other courses (reformer and ICCB) but both Pilatique and Breathe were both full for the timings that i could make it for. So if you are interested, do book way in advance!
