How to Ace Your Pilates Exam

I've administered hundreds of exams over my 25 years in the industry, and in this solo episode I'm sharing the five tips I give my students on the very last day of their certification course to help them walk in prepared, confident, and ready to perform at their best. In this episode, I cover: Tip #5 – Audit your courses. If your program allows it, come back and sit in. You'll hear the same information with fresh ears and a whole new perspective. Tip #4 – Volunteer to be a body for an exam. A great way to experience the exam environment without the pressure of performing. Check with your studio to see if this is an option. Tip #3 – Practice your postural assessment. This is the section students fear most. The secret? Practice on as many different bodies as you can. You don't need someone confirming you're right. Tip #2 – Let your teaching manner shine. This is the easiest 10 out of 10 on your exam, and I see students leave it on the table every time. Connect with the person in front of you. Ask questions. Make them feel seen. That's it. Tip #1 – Practice on real people. I can't say this enough. Taking class makes you a great performer. Teaching real bodies makes you a great instructor. Grab your mom, your neighbor, your colleague.
