Ty sooo much. I think it was meant to be I found you 😊 background on me. 62 yrs old, retired from the postal service. I was a group fitness instructor for many years while working full time job. I enrolled myself in Pilates teacher apprentice program thru CP bc I love Pilates but before I found you, I was second guessing myself in all the exercises, memorization etc... I just started practice teaching and I go in with everything I have in my head I want to do but then it doesn't always come out. I love that you said memorize a few exercises to start then move in etc... ty so much and I'm joining your encyclopedia bc of you. Thank you thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤My memory definitely isn't wasn't it used to be and all this training ugh 😩 ty

I know it's soooo much new stuff to learn in the beginning! You got this. One day at a time and one exercise at the time. Let's keep your Pilates fire alive! :)

Sooo helpful! Thank very much. You made me think about not fulfilling a client’s specific wish. I guess it’s about losing control. I am used to teaching on various equipment to get clients learn to use their body on different surfaces. Good idea with the lunch hour ❤

I get it! When you've been teaching Pilates for a while, you know that Pilates can't be learned in a few lessons, but I guess sometimes we need to meet people where they are at emotionally and mentally and maybe they'll want more eventually.

Sarah: Regarding the STOTT vs. BB spring tension. I looked up the tension colors for you. STOTT Blue is light and red is heavy. With BB white is light and black is heavy. But I'm not sure how the two heavy one's compare, nor the two light springs. Sorry. It's sometimes really hard to get this info. Maybe someone else here can help.

I have a Stott/balanced body comparison chart but I'm not sure how to add it here but the R Stott are considered Full, the Blue is 1/2 and the white is 1/4; The overall tension on the Stott does feel a little heavier than the BB but I've used 1B and 1W for a R/B on BB or 1R/1B on Stott for 2R on BB it just depends on the age of the springs because if they're newer they tend to be tighter
