Pilates and the Pilates method. A place to share Pilates techniques for instructors.

"I love Pilates". ~ kim

 I'm obsessed with Pilates and the Pilates method.
Pilates is my passion. To me Pilates is the ultimate form of exercise. Through Pilates I have met many great people... Pilates instructors, Pilates students and others who have found Pilates changed their lives. I have a Pilates studio in Lake Tahoe and am a certified Pilates instructor. I visit other Pilates studios and attend Pilates events as I continue learning everything I can about the Pilates method and how it is taught.

Hi I'm Kim Grohe. Welcome to my Pilates page.

I am interested in talking about Pilates and the Pilates method with other certified Pilates instructors, primarily from a pyschological point of view.
If you are a certified Pilates instructor you likely feel as I do about Pilates. To me Pilates is a combination of the Pilates method and the technique Pilates instructors use to inspire, motivate and interact with their Pilates students and interest others in Pilates.

If you are a Pilates instructor or Pilates student please email me at kim@essentuale.

I am writing articles on the techniques Pilates instructors use to inspire,  motivate and work with Pilates students.
As certified teachers we all know the Pilates routines but few Sites or books talk about 'best practices'.

By 'best practices' I'm talking about the way Pilates teachers interact with Pilates students, how they assess individual needs, how they motivate and inspire Pilates students, and how they interact with them. In addition, how to show compassion and how to get to know and understand each student as an individual, their goals, desires and levels; and how to inspire and motivate Pilates students to greater achievement while avoiding frustration.

Some examples will be those I myself find effective with my Pilates students. Other examples I hope to get from Pilates instructors willing to share their Pilates methodologies that they have found effective with their Pilates students.

Essentuale has chosen Pilates as its recommended method and is helping me to help others involved in Pilates. Essentuale features exceptional people, and like me, Essentuale may feature you as well.

If you feel you have an exceptional Pilates technique or manner in terms of 'best practices' please email me.
I would like to share articles and ideas with Pilates instructors as well as students.

I look forward to hearing from you. ~kim
