Mat Pilates Class Plans for Instructors, A Year of 48 Classes, Every Exercise Drawn

Your regulars come to the mat every week, and every week you write the class again. This gives you the whole year already written: 48 ready-to-teach 50-minute mat classes for one group, in four twelve-week blocks that each climb to a peak, so the room always has something to work toward and you never plan from a blank page.

A Year of Mat Pilates Classes runs a group from the basic order to the intermediate order. Block 1, Foundation, teaches the curl of the upper spine and the roll of the lower spine over a quiet pelvis, and climbs to the Roll Up. Block 2, Build, adds the intermediate shapes one at a time (the straight-leg stretches, Criss-Cross, Corkscrew, the Seal) and climbs to the Open Leg Rocker. Block 3, Strength, lengthens the levers and lifts the body onto its hands, and climbs to Leg Pull Front. Block 4, Flow, puts the year together with fewer stops and climbs to the Teaser. Inside each block the peak rises one rung every three weeks, and the weeks rotate four focuses (the center, the back, the hips and legs, the whole body), so no two weeks in a row work the same way. Every class is different, and no cue repeats in the whole year.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✔ 48 class sheets, two printable pages each, from the warm-up to the Standing Roll Down, with the minutes for every section
✔ 748 exercise lines, each with the breath, the reps, the one cue to say, a harder option, an easier option and the thing to watch, and the transition written above it
✔ The week's rung marked in gold on every sheet, so you can see where the room is on the ladder
✔ A year map: the four blocks and their peaks on one page
✔ Four block pages: why the block sits where it does in the year, what it adds, and a drawn four-rung ladder to its peak with what to look for before the room takes the next rung
✔ A name key of all 50 exercises, each drawn, with set-up, breath and the names other schools use (classical, STOTT and others) wherever a source records one
✔ The year at a glance: all 48 weeks with block, focus, class and rung in one table
✔ A 45-minute version of every class, and what to do in year two

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ The year has a shape: four blocks in the order a strength program is built, each ending on a peak your regulars can feel themselves reach
✓ Every exercise is drawn beside its line, so you can glance down mid-class and keep teaching
✓ A harder and an easier option on every line, so the sheet keeps working as the room changes over a year
✓ Every change of position is written into the transitions: how the room rolls to sit, turns onto the front or comes up to stand
✓ All you need is a mat each and a folded towel
