In my opinion, everyone who is teaching Pilates should have an opinion on this topic!  And each of our answers (and the exercises we choose to incorporate into a workout program) might be slightly different.  That’s ok, as long as the end result is positive for the client, and enough thought has gone into program development that the Pilates system is being utilized to it’s maximum potential to get great results!

The new teachers who have completed the Centerworks Pilates Teacher-Training Program, occasionally will ask questions, like the ones in this post, as they are faced with the challenge of creating quality Pilates programs.  I am always happy to share my perspective and insights with them, to help develop good teachers with great critical thinking skills.

They, in turn, have been kind enough to allow me to post some of their questions and my replies, so that other Pilates teachers and trainers  might benefit from hearing my thoughts on working with different clients and issues, and perhaps also practice developing  great critical thinking skills to create the best Pilates workout programs possible.

I hope you find my thoughts and information below helpful to continue developing your skills as a well-qualified Pilates professional!
