One client is stepping onto a Reformer for the very first time. Another has been practising Pilates for years. Someone has chronic back pain. Someone else is an athlete looking for a challenge.
How do you teach all of them in the same class?
In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah and Christian explore one of the most common questions they receive from teachers: how to confidently teach mixed-level Pilates classes without feeling like you have to create a different workout for every person in the room.
They discuss why great teaching isn't about knowing hundreds of exercises, but about understanding movement, communication, observation, and motor learning. You'll learn practical strategies for designing classes where every client can succeed, regardless of experience level.
In this episode, we discuss:
why mixed-level classes are the reality of teaching Pilates
the biggest mistake new teachers make
why every client doesn't need a different exercise
how to create different challenges using the same movement
the importance of teaching skills instead of choreography
managing your attention without trying to fix everyone
why silence can be one of your most powerful teaching tools
how to create meaningful progression without simply making exercises harder
Whether you're a newly certified instructor or an experienced teacher looking to refine your coaching, this episode will help you think differently about class planning and what it really means to teach.
