Teach Pilates
Pilates instruction is a holistic career choice, nurturing one’s own health and the health of others. Stress relief, creativity, emotional satisfaction, community, supportive colleagues, personal freedom and great pay are all part of the job.
Career Satisfaction
A day in the life of a Pilates Teacher is an enviable one. We get to show up and be of service to others. We get to facilitate transformation in ourselves and others. We get a sense of connection and community. We are paid well, and there is plenty of work. And we are never, ever bored!
Passion
Most Pilates teachers are drawn to the work through a passion for this truly transformational movement modality. Indeed, many teachers were introduced to Pilates as a result of pain or injury in their own bodies. When they experience the healing, powerful, dynamic results of Pilates, they are drawn to give back what they have received. This enthusiasm fuels every work day.
Client Relationships
The Pilates Instructor and Client come together at the best part of the client’s day - when they have set aside all the responsibilities and stresses, have sacrificed precious time and expense to show up for themselves. They are ready to work, grow, improve. Within the container of this relationship the client meets challenges, overcomes frustrations, and becomes stronger and healthier. It is exhilarating to facilitate this transformation.
Stimulating and Creative Work
Pilates is a huge field of study. As soon the initial training is incorporated, a workshop, a specialty, a focus will appear. Even diving deep on the use of a prop such as a ball or ring can transform your approach and dazzle a client. Pilates and the teacher’s interpretation of the repertoire is always evolving. That’s where the art of Pilates lives. The capacity for learning and growth is endless. And in many studios, the most important learning goes on between teachers. It’s so enriching to be part of a group of professionals who are always learning and sharing knowledge.
Money & Demand
Pilates teachers typically make between $30 and $40 an hour for privates, more for group classes and semi-privates. Most Pilates teachers choose to work part-time so they can can have the flexibility to attend to family responsibilities or continue with other jobs. However, there are plenty of opportunities to work full-time as a Pilates teacher. At our studio and most others, the biggest challenge is finding enough instructors to meet the demand.
