Pilates Teacher Current Vacancies

2008-06-07:

Pilates teachers combine gentle focused exercises with holistic principles in order to develop body awareness.
Pilates teachers work with clients on either mats or specially designed equipment in order to enable the body to move with maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

The work may incorporate both equipment and mat work classes.
Equipment classes utilise specialist equipment in order to isolate and develop specific muscle groups.
Mat work classes utilise exercises and movement sequences on floor mats only.
Pilates teachers work with small groups of clients, usually between 4-12 people, of varying ages and capabilities or one to one.

Pilates teachers design exercises that are individually tailored to suit the needs and abilities of clients, therefore Pilates teachers are required to assess clients fitness requirements.

Weekend and evening work is common. Pilates teachers may have to work during holiday periods if employed by a leisure or health centre.
Pilates teachers work in studios that focus on creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Studios vary in style and the range of equipment on offer.

There is a growing demand for Pilates teachers in health studios and leisure centres, as well as working in clients homes as a private tutor. There are no set salary rates for Pilates teachers. (Permalink)
