Pilates Instructor

A Pilates instructor teaches a method of exercise that focuses on core strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness. A typical day includes leading group mat classes, teaching small-group or private sessions on equipment such as the reformer, and giving individual attention to clients with different goals, from athletes to people recovering from injuries or managing back pain. You demonstrate movements, correct form with cues and gentle touch, adjust exercises for each body, and keep clients motivated. You also plan classes, keep records, and often handle scheduling and marketing, especially if you work for yourself.
