How do I choose a Pilates Instructor?

Choosing a Pilates Instructor is an important decision.  Not only are you choosing the person who will lead you in your fitness and health journey but your new pilates Instructor will quickly become a friend and confidant.  When you begin your search I would suggest looking first at the Instructors Pilates Certifications, some certifications are more extensive than others.  Next I would suggest finding out how much experience the Instructor has, more doesn’t always mean better but it can mean your teacher is better prepared to work with certain injuries or populations.  Last and this is very important, chemistry.  You want an Instructor who you like and trust because chances are you will spend lots of time with that Instructor.  As an Instructor, I have met some of my very best friends because we spend hours together every week sharing stories about our kids, recipes, gardening tips, book reviews and oh yes, pilates along with health and fitness goals.  So my biggest tip for choosing the perfect Pilates Instructor is this: choose someone who is qualified that you really like, then invest fully into your pilates journey and your new friendship!
