It is no secret that we do Pilates in Canada, but our Pilates community is quite small. Most Pilates teachers work alone or in a small studio with only a handful of instructors. It can be lonely but I don’t think that it needs to be. We are just a few Pilates Teachers who can help many people in Canada to benefit from our teaching. Even better, if we get to know each other, where we teach and what we specialize in, we can then send clients in the right direction. So let’s get to know each other.
This past week I was in Las Vegas attending the PMA Conference. Amy of Arc Pilates and I had the goal of connecting with as many Pilates teachers from all over the world and growing our network. I was amazed at how many Canadian instructors that we met for the first time.
Our Radical Self Expression at the Pilates Anytime Radical Self Expression Party was Canadian. The costumes involved tulle in red and white with maple leaves all over. We said Sorry! and EH! AND we met a whole lot of fabulous Pilates teachers from all over the world.
Amy and I are both working hard to bring together more Pilates teachers, within our own communities, our country, and the world. Amy has her “Hundred Handshake” project, for which she is connecting with Pilates teachers, posing for a photo doing the hundred, then has three questions to be answered. She then features the photo and mini interview on her Arc Pilates Instagram and Facebook Pages. During the PMA we photographed 30 Hundred handshakes!!! Follow Arc Pilates to enjoy Amy’s posts.
If you are based in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia or visiting the area lets get together! I’d love to hear if you are going to be in town and I’ll plan for a Pila-tea and Wine while you are here. Otherwise, I’ll be announcing my December Pila-tea and Wine very soon! Follow b.Pilates on Instagram or bPilates & Fitness on Facebook to join my next event.
Let’s come together, support each other and spread our love of Pilates and Fitness!
