Mat 1 Completed.....

last weekend was terrific. Had mat course from 4hrs on both Friday and Saturday and 8 hrs straight on Sunday...... Learnt the various mat exercises for Beginner and Intermediate level. Was pretty cool. Then gave my 'frst trial' class. Gosh was so nervous. Blanked out for a minute in front of the class and m really grateful for the coursemates I have who helped gave me clues for the following steps haha.... standing in front of the class is so different when u are lying on the mat waiting for instructions from the teacher. But I am sure I will get better and be able to do a good class. :)

Afterall if I can say so myself I felt that the 2nd round of 'teaching' was much better for the first half when we get to re-teach the exercises that we taught in the morning. So practise makes perfect. Now I can compete with Gabriel. He to practise for his piano pieces and me to deliver my class beautifully.

Next weekend will be Mat 2. This time round I will get myself prepared by looking at the various exercise try them out myself and practise delivering the class so that i will be more familiar with the exercise and not be so nervous and lost standing in front of the class.

Another step closer to my goal ........ to be a certified Pilates Instructor.........

The start of a new journey.....

So excited. Next weekend I will be embarking on a new journey towards being a Pilates instructor. I will be taking my Mat 1 & 2 course with The Moving Academy. They are teaching the Balanced Body School of Pilates which is slower and it focuses more on building your core muscles but it still can make you sweat.

Till then I have to go hit the books and start locating my muscles least I get lost in class.....

Pilates - My route to certification......

This time round I am determined to embark on a new journey....taking on a Pilates Course. Learning how to do it and guide others. learning all the various flexsors, extendors muscle groups is the fisrt step to take and I have taken it haha.... Following which i will go register myself for the course and then 2 weekends of classes followed by the observation classes, own practice and teaching classes..... target to get ready for exam - 6 mths from the date i complete my course on 8 Jul 2012.
