How to Cue Pilates Classes That Transform Your Teaching

The difference between a good Pilates class and a great one often comes down to how and when you cue.After receiving such a positive response from our previous episode on class planning, Nic is back for a solo episode that goes deep into the art of cueing.Cueing completely changes the experience a client can have in a Pilates class, and Nic shares her advice on the different types of cues you can use to deepen their overall experience.She discusses verbal cues, imagery, tactile feedback, breath and observation.Nic explores why less can often be more when it comes to cueing, how to avoid overwhelming clients with information, and how thoughtful language can help people feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to their bodies.Timestamps00:00 Goals for the new year03:01 Why cueing deserves deeper attention03:53 How class structure supports better cueing04:31 Understanding cueing as an art form07:58 Using verbal cues clearly and effectively16:10 Imagery and anatomical cueing explained22:59 Exploring tactile cueing and appropriate touch27:07 Teaching through observation and presence32:55 Shifting from negative to constructive cueing35:22 The importance of noticing within a class39:01 Using breath as a flexible cueing toolIf this episode resonated with you, please follow or subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode.Connect with Nic:Beyond the Reformer InstagramSoul Pilates InstagramSoul Pilates EducationNic’s InstagramJoin Soul at HomeBook a Pilates Class
