Graceful Flow: Teaching Pilates with Disruptions in the Room
In this episode, we dive into one of the most common—and challenging—teaching moments in group Pilates classes: how to keep the flow going when one client’s injuries, vocal concerns, or physical limitations begin to disrupt the momentum of the session. Whether it’s a client with knee pain who needs extra attention, or someone who’s particularly loud or reactive during movement, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies to keep your class unified, supported, and on track. You’ll learn tips for managing energy, using modifications without slowing the group down, and setting respectful boundaries that honor everyone in the room—including the instructor.
