Pilates In A Resort

October 29th, 2009 admin

Most guests who I see for Pilates or personal fitness training at Parrot Cay are understandably wary when it comes to their first class or session. From what I understand from talking to people, most resorts hire younger less experienced teachers and the classes are just average. Recently I met some people who just returned from Cozumel vacations and while the place and the hotel were fabulous the Pilates was bad. Needless to say, they were quite pleasantly surprised to find me :-)

Image via Wikipedia Most people don’t associate Pilates with strength training, other than “core”, so they are often surprised when attending my Pilates classes at Parrot Cay as I teach a lot of classical Pilates strength exercises that many teachers leave out of group classes in favor of more stretching. In the basic pilates... 
Your Pilates Business – Income
I have received a lot of comments and emails lately from people who are considering becoming Pilates teachers. It is a fabulous way to make a living, but how much of a living will you make? If you go into your Pilates business assuming that you will earn enough to buy a huge home filled with modern furniture , I can tell you that you have the wrong... 
Pilates Next Week
So here we are in NY and I currently have about 20 pilates privates plus my Reiki classes and sessions!

Teaching Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is one of the trickiest diagnoses to work with for a Pilates teacher since so much of Pilates, and especially Pilates mat, is in forward thoracic flexion which is completely contraindicated for people with low bone density. While it is quite easy to find existing Pilates exercises and modify some on the Pilates equipment (especially...

Getting Pilates Testimonials
When I started teaching Pilates over 20 years ago there weren’t so many teachers. With no official certifications and certainly not the plethora of organizations and trainers that we have today your work is what brought people in. Most clients came via word of mouth and referrals. Today there are thousands of teachers and those of us who really... 
Vacations
People generally find it very funny that we work where most people vacation and vacation where most people go to work! New York is so much fun as a vacation spot and we have such a good time when we are here. I have been on Caribbean vacations, the ubiquitous Orlando vacations (said hi to Mickey), and to the mountains and I have to say that I enjoy... 
Touchy Feely Pilates
Touchy Feely Pilates
As my “style” of teaching Pilates has developed over the years I have become more about teaching strength and stability as opposed to mobility and deep stretching, especially in the mixed level classes I teach at Parrot Cay . I find that after just 1 or 2 classes as people become more stable in their spines and torsos their pain decreases... 
Critical Thinking for Pilates Teachers
As a Philosophy Professor I used to actually teach a class called Critical Reasoning or Informal Logic, which was about how to spot flawed logic immediately and how to not use it yourself. I always ended my classes with a few weeks of graduate school test prep, such as lsat prep and GRE prep, but that was not the meat of the course. So when I hear...
