Confessions of a New Instructor

Alyssa Beach here!

As many of you know I recently achieve my Peak Pilates Mat certification and am working on my Level 1 Comprehensive certification. I am sure some of you have noticed how nervous I am about teaching. (I can’t believe I haven’t started biting my fingernails.)

I did it! I taught my first Tower Class… and it was AWESOME!

I was super nervous and I am pretty sure I was blushing for the whole hour.

Was it perfect? No, and I have a list of improvements and changes for my next class. BUT there will be a next class!

Alexis has a saying that I often repeat to myself, “It is just Pilates.”

I love Pilates, and I enjoy sharing Pilates with others. When I get nervous or worried that I am a rubbish instructor, it helps to remember this. Pilates is fun and I feel better after a session. I am not here to save the world, I am here to help our clients learn a little more about Pilates and to feel better than they did when they walked in the door.

A great time was had by all.
