Hiring, studio operations, and instructor careers.
Instructors Who Nailed Their PlankeApp Profile

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring Pilates Instructors
Don't wait for a gap in the schedule, don't hire the resume, and don't post on Indeed. Build a pipeline and hire for fit.
Pilates is for Everyone
More movement, a studio community, and a clear head: boutique Pilates is a practical way back to health after years of sitting.

How to Set Prices for Your Pilates Business
Don't undercut to fill the book. Price from your costs and the value you deliver, then raise rates with notice when expenses rise.

The Essence of Traveling and Teaching
Travel teaching is not a resort circuit. You still teach the Hundred and footwork, just from a new room, in a community that speaks Pilates.
