Seller's description

You passed your certification. You know the repertoire, the anatomy, the contraindications. Then you stood in front of your first paying client and realised the course prepared you for the exam, not for the room. That gap is normal, and this handbook is built to close it.

The Confident New Pilates Teacher is a first-year handbook for newly qualified instructors. It is not a lesson planner and it is not exam prep. It is the part nobody teaches you: how to actually teach. Cueing without overwhelming people, reading the room, handling the client who discloses an injury mid-class, knowing when to refer, finding your own voice, and choosing where to specialise next. Written instructor to instructor, in plain British English, with the words to say in the moments that wobble you.

✔ 9 printable tools: pre-class checklist, cueing-economy worksheet, voice audit, post-class reflection, when-to-refer decision flow, weekly self-practice planner, rates and boundaries one-pager, year-two direction map, and off-script response cards
