I find it so interesting how the Universe gifts us with new opportunities to learn and grow… Since writing the recent series of articles on mobilizing the ribcage, I’ve had the privilege to start working with not one, but TWO new clients who have Harrington Rods.
For those of you reading this article who are unfamiliar with the term, historically this rod has been surgically implanted along the spinal column to treat scoliosis. Once you’re spine has been “shored up” with a rod, there is no longer movement at those vertebrae. For these clients everything that is needed to maintain normal “healthy” movement of the spine and ribs becomes moot. All the great benefits of Pilates posterior lateral breathing for elongation of the spine to maintain healthy posture has to be re-thought and re-taught because try as you might, the ribcage and spine won’t be moving. That doesn’t mean the muscles along the spine aren’t active – we still need to maintain good strength and support. But everything becomes quite different from a cuing, exercise selection and exercise safety standpoint.

Is this something that you’ve said or thought lately? “I Love Pilates, and want to become a Pilates Teacher!”
Teaching Pilates is a great career choice.
I have had more fun in the past 16 years teaching Pilates than at any other job I’ve ever had. In fact, it’s hard to consider teaching Pilates a “job.” This is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Every day it’s a new opportunity to help other people improve their quality of life and whole-body health. And my body had the priviledge of figuring it all out first, (since you’ve got to be a Pilates student, before you can become a great Pilates teacher!)
My Thoughts on Being a Pilates Teacher
Do I know everything there is to know about Pilates? Nope… but I think that’s a good thing!
But I Do know A LOT, and have tons of valuable information to share.

I recently had someone drop me a contact request for Pilates Teacher Training information and thought she had some great questions that might be helpful to post in my Centerworks Pilates blog.
Think I may turn this into a regular section and update & add posts with questions as they come in.
It’s so important that students interested in making the transition from client to Pilates teacher ask good questions and gather lots of information before making the decision about who to enroll with for their Pilates Teacher Training Workshops and apprenticeship.
With the commitment of time, energy, and finances it takes to invest in your Pilates education – you want to be sure you’ve found the best program for you!
