In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah dives into the debate between being a Pilates instructor or teacher—and why the title doesn’t matter as much as how you connect with your clients. What truly counts is your ability to understand their needs, inspire movement, and help them apply Pilates to their daily lives.

Hannah shares insights on adapting your teaching style, creating an empowering learning experience, and making Pilates accessible to a wider audience. Whether you’re guiding structured classes or focusing on deeper principles, the key is to meet clients where they are and help them move with confidence and joy.

Key Takeaways:

1. Titles Are Secondary: Whether you call yourself a teacher, instructor, or coach, your focus should be on client connection and movement.
2. Client-Centered Approach: Adapt sessions to meet individual needs and goals.
3. Empower Through Movement: Help clients relate Pilates to their everyday lives for greater impact.
4. Accessible Communication: Use language and materials that make Pilates inviting for beginners.
5. Inspire Action: Focus on encouraging more people to move, not impressing other professionals.

Hannah’s Message:
It’s not about what you call yourself—it’s about the experience you create for your clients. Tune in to discover how to build stronger connections, inspire movement, and elevate your teaching practice.
