Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Pilates Talk! I've created this blog for students and teachers alike to have a place to discuss relevant issues in our field of study and work. From the student who is just learning what a knee float is, to the teacher who's a seasoned professional with their own studio- I hope to offer a place for everyone to come together for positive inspiration and interaction. Also, I want to advertise all the classes I can, both my own and others: so if you have a class you would like announced on this blog, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Classes in Manchester will be most relevant, but certainly special workshops in the UK would be welcomed.

Since I completed my course through the Pilates Foundation at Laban this past June, I have been trying to find my way as a teacher in a new city. Because of the nature of jobs that I've come into, I work mostly on my own and don't have much of an opportunity to see others teachers teach. I suppose that this is the case for lots of teachers, especially matwork teachers, who are always in charge of a class and rarely get to be the student. And for the student, this is probably a good place to see teachers working things out, and ask things that might be on your mind, but unable to ask in class for one reason or another. I'm not suggesting this as a substitute for class by any means, but I will discuss issues and ideas that come up in my teaching with hopes that it will translate to you and benefit either your teaching or learning- wherever you might be in your Pilates/bodywork journey.

Please comment when you feel you have something to say, and also feel free to suggest topics for discussion. I'm also open to collaborators here so if you're serious about making your own posts, get in touch via email and let's talk it out.

Thanks for reading!
