Mat Pilates Instructor Cue Cards, Organized by Intent (Digital PDF)

Seller's description

You are three exercises into a mat class and the room has gone quiet on you. One client is over-arching in the Hundred. Another has stopped breathing. A beginner in the corner looks lost. You do not need more cues for the Hundred. You need a different kind of cue, right now, for the thing you are actually seeing.

This is the cue library built for that moment.

222 professional mat Pilates cues, organised by teaching intent rather than by exercise. When you need a breath cue for an anxious beginner, or a correction for a rounding spine, or a fresh image to wake up a class that has heard your usual lines too many times, you turn to the intent and find a page of options. Every cue is mat-native. On the reformer the machine gives you load and feedback. On the mat there is nothing but the body, the floor, and gravity, so every cue here uses those.
