​

​

There isn’t a person in the world that hasn’t had some point been stopped dead in their tracks because of fear or that chattering monkey in their head. 🤯

​

​

Here’s 4 of the bigges barriers and see if you recognise any of them❓

​

​

1️⃣ 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒆

​

Everyone, including myself, has at some point felt like a fraud or a fake. ​ ​ Maybe it was at a new job or perhaps you had to do a presentation and you experienced “What if they find out?” thoughts going through your mind.

​

Even movie stars have these feelings.

​

When these show up in my life, I’ll grab a piece of paper and write down as much as I can to 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐄 the theory. ​ ​ ​ I’ll consider all my training, all the coaching and business mentors I’ve had and I’ll even reflect back from when I started and how far I’ve come.

​

​

I know some people even feel this when they qualify and head out to teach their own classes and this is something I discuss with our teachers. ​ ​ ​ 𝑰 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾 𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑰𝑹 𝑻𝑹𝑨𝑰𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑰𝑺 𝑬𝑿𝑪𝑬𝑷𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑨𝑳 and by the time our teacher qualify they are chomping at the bits to get started – they are 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 ready! 🤸‍♂️ 🕺

​

​

​

​

2️⃣ 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝑱𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

​

​

This can be a biggy for some people. ​ That inner critic that’s always telling you how rubbish you are or that you’re not good enough to become a teacher, sound familiar?

​

Now, whether or not you can do the splits or stand on your head is completely irrelevant when it comes to being a good teacher. ​ ​ ​ ​ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝑯𝑶𝑾 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑶𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 ❣️

​

❤️ ​ It’s one of my favourite weekends because it’s the weekend that the learner 𝐵𝐸𝐶𝑂𝑀𝐸𝑆 the 𝑇𝐸𝐴𝐶𝐻𝐸𝑅. ​ ​ It’s when you 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄 that you are a teacher and it happens every time we run a course! ​ ​ ❤️

​

​

​

​

3️⃣ 𝑱𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑶𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔

​

There will always be judgement from others. ​ ​ BUT often it’s not the judgement we think it is. ​ People in general are actually REALLY supportive. ​

​

Yes, there will always be a troll out there, some keyboard warrior expressing their opinion. ​ BUT guess what. ​ That is exactly what it is. ​ An opinion. ​ ​ And the bonus of social media is that you can block the person. ​ ​ ​

​

You cannot please everyone all the time and it’s taken me a while to learn this and to be comfortable with it.

​

Often when people express some sort of disatisfaction, it’s a reflection of THEM not you.

​

I won’t lie, getting yourself to the point where things like this don’t bother you does take time and it takes a lot of work on yourself.

​

In fact two things have happened in the past couple of weeks that have given me the opportunity to see how far I’ve come. ​ ​

​

5 years ago I would have tried to bend myself into a pretzel to “fix things” and to make these people happy, even though it actually showed that they weren’t the right clients for us – note you do need a sense of humour to work with us! 🤪

​

BUT ​ the current version of me didn’t care two hoots! ​ ​ ​ I didn’t even respond and deleted these people from our database. ​ ​ It’s a wonderful place to be when 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘿𝙀𝘾𝙄𝘿𝙀 𝙒𝙃𝙊 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙒𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙏𝙊 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙆 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 rather than working with every Tom, Dick and Harry and then regretting it! ​ ( I have done that too!) 😖

​

​

​

4️⃣ ​ 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝑫𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒕

​

Self Doubt can come from a few places. ​ ​

​

Lack of Confidence of your own knowledge and skill. ​

​

It can be that you don’t believe in yourself.

​

​

Or it could even be your ego is too shit scared to try something as it knows it’s going to be something that scares you.

​

For example, doing your Pilates or Yoga Teacher Training. ​ ​ ​ 𝐼 𝐾𝑁𝑂𝑊 𝐵𝐸𝐶𝐴𝑈𝑆𝐸 𝑇𝐻𝐼𝑆 𝑊𝐴𝑆 𝑀𝐸!

​

There was no way I could stand up in front of a group of people and teach and even to this day I have no idea how I actually ended up doing the course because I was so terrified 🥴 but I did it!

​

So self doubt will creep in to keep you safe.

​

​

I have to approach these things logically.

​

​

I’ll think to myself what is the benefit to staying small and letting self doubt win VS what if I suck it up and do it, even if i’m terrified, what would the benefit be ❓

​

​

I won’t lie, there have been times when self-doubt has won BUT there has also been times when I’ve smashed it. ​ ​

​

​

When I originally did my teacher training my intention was to teach private clients because there was no way I could teach a class full of people!

​

BUT NOW…..

I absolutely love teaching classes and running teacher training courses! ​ ​ And if ever I get a query for a 1-2-1 clients, I send them straight to Paul as he teaches all the 1-2-1’s.

​

Things can change and the possibiliteis are endless IF you don’t allow self doubt to get in the way. ​ ​

​

We all have them, but we don’t all allow them to rule our life and stop us from having all sorts of experiences in this thing called life.

​

​

​

Now that you know about these barriers, do they look familiar or perhaps you have your own limiting beliefs that are stopping you from becoming a Pilates or Yoga Teacher. ​ ​

​

​

What is the FIRST step you can take to overcome them and move forward. ​ ​ ​ Perhaps its doing an internet search of training providers in your area or even speaking to some of the training schools to get a feel for what might be a good option for you.

​

One small step every day will keep you moving closer to your goal and before you know it you’ll be fully qualified!

The post 4 Common Fears That Stop You Being Visible appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

​

​

If you’ve answered hobby then you don’t need to worry about reading the rest of this.

​

However, if you’re considering becoming a teacher and leaving your current job or perhaps your children are now in school and you have some time to start doing something for yourself then a BUSINESS is what you’re after.

​

The two are very different.

​

Once I started treating my business like a business, my clients also started treating me like a business.

​

The mindset is very different to when you’re running classes for the fun of it and you’re not relying on the income. ​ Neither are right or wrong – it’s just the intention behind it is very different.

​

Think of all your untiliies and house hold bills or perhaps a gym membership. ​ THEY ALL CHARGE monthly.

​

𝑆𝑜 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢? ​

​

When you offer pay as you go that is not what serious business owners do.

​

Yes maybe your local leisure centre offers drop in rates, however they’re a big organisation with disposable income behind them. ​ ​

​

You on the other hand are a small business and you’re providing the capital so if your business doesn’t make the income, you’ll be running at a loss and it will be YOUR loss.

​

​

Here are the advantages of offering monthly packages:

​

👉 You get paid every month

👉 you can PAY YOURSELF every month

👉 You can see what is coming in every month and project your income so now you know how long it will take to reach your financial goals

👉 You know how much to invest back into the business to reach those goals

👉 you will attract COMMITTED clients who want to come regularly, and therefore THEY will get better results

👉 less admin time running after clients trying to get paid

👉 you will know how mny people are coming (I’ve turned up for classes inteh past and no one came so I still had to pay for the hall and that means it was coming out of my pocket)

👉 You won’t lose out when someone doesn’t show up or cancels late – you’ll still get paid

​

​

I’m sure if I can think of many more but I think you get the point.

​

​

Making this change to my business was one of the best decisions and it make the biggest impact in terms of a regular income.

​

The post Monthly income and why you need it appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

YES PLEASE! 🤩

​

​

Have you ever read the book “Think & Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill? 📕

​

Well, if you haven’t, it’s probably one of the most popular money mindset books in the self-development industry.

​

𝐻𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦.

​

And whether your goal is to lose weight, buy a fancy car, live in a big house, or own every studio in the world there are things that you might be doing that are stopping you from achieving them.

​

​

𝑇𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑤𝑒’𝑟𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚.

​

​

This takes a lot of self-awareness of the conversations going on inside of your head AND the words coming out of your mouth.

​

​

👉Let’s see if you can spot it.

​

Here’s an example:

​

⏩“I’m fat”

⏩“I don’t have money”

⏩“I hate my house”

​

These are just examples, but maybe you can see what I’m talking about?

​

​

If not….

​

​

If you’re constantly focusing on :

​

“I don’t have money”, “this is expensive”, “I can’t afford that”, “I never have enough” etc

​

You will attract more of that into your life. 😢

​

​

And there are different ways you can do that.

​

​

You can manifest it or another way is

​

​

Close your eyes. 👀

​

When last did you see a yellow car? 🚕

​

Can you remember?

​

​

​

Probably not (unless you own one!).

​

​

However,

​

Over the next week, I want you to count how many yellow cars you can see.

​

​

What will happen is your brain will now go on the search for yellows, EVEN if I say go and look for all the colours EXCEPT yellow…

​

​

​

You’ve just programmed your brain to look for yellow cars, even when I’ve told you NOT to look for the yellow ones…

​

​

It’s the same with your goals….

​

​

​

​

The first step to changing this thought pattern is that we get to be THANKFUL for everything that we DO have in our lives. 🙏

​

​

Gratitude. 💜​Every single day I write in my gratitude journal. ​ ​

​

For example, keeping with the money story: ​

💘 I am so thankful and grateful for all the money I have in my account. ​ There is always enough to support me.

​

💘I am so thankful and grateful for all my amazing clients who continue to love and value what I do.

​

💘I am so thankful and grateful for my home and the food I have every day.

​

​

​

Coming from South Africa I have seen what POOR is. ​ People with no food, no clothes, no home and there isn’t help for them. ​ They literally have NOTHING.

​

I am RICH compared to them, and that’s what you have to focus on. ​ ​ 💰

​

​

✅I am so grateful that I have heating. ​ (has your heating or hot water ever broken down in the middle of winter?? Sure does make you appreciate it!!).

​

​

✅I am so grateful I have food every single day to eat.

​

​

✅I am so grateful that I have warm clothes to shelter my body when I go outside!

​

We do have so much to be grateful for, even when times are challenging.

​

​

​

​

THE MORE YOU FOCUS ON WHAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR, THE MORE OF THAT YOU WILL HAVE!!!

​

Focus on the money you do have. ​ Even if it’s £5 in your account. ​ Remember that a homeless person would kill for the £5.

​

​

This really is one of the biggest steps you can take to attract more things into your life.

​

Think of it this way.

​

The Universe sees us as children.

​

OUR LIVES ARE THE SAME!!!

​

​

Go buy yourself a nice journal do this at least once a day. ​ It only needs to take a few minutes.

​

​

I do this every morning and every evening. ​ ​ I write down 5 things. ​

​

​

It doesn’t need to be an essay.

​

​

The important part is that you’re taking the time to sit and connect with the Universe and say thank you.

Growing UP I hated maths. In fact I hated ANYTHING to do with numbers!!! 🤮

​

​

Even as an adult – I’m not a fan of doing accounts – there’s far too many numbers for me (although I do enjoy looking at my bank accounts! Lol)…

​

​

But any kind of calculation that I can avoid – I will….

​

​

𝑬𝑿𝑪𝑬𝑷𝑻…..

​

​

If you want to grow your business and you want to do it

✅Without wasting money

✅Being able to predict how long it’ll take you to reach your goal

✅Know how much return of investment (ROI) you’re getting then …..

​

​

𝑇𝐻𝐸𝑅𝐸 𝐴𝑅𝐸 𝑆𝑂𝑀𝐸 𝑁𝑈𝑀𝐵𝐸𝑅𝑆 𝐴𝑁𝐷 𝐶𝐴𝐿𝐶𝑈𝐿𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁𝑆 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒!

​

​

(or in my case…. Create a spreadsheet that does it all for you, which is something 𝐼 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑦 𝑉𝐼𝑃 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑒 them the hassle!).

​

​

Here are some important numbers that I’m teaching my 1-2-1 clients and that you should ALSO be keeping on top of at LEAST every month if not bi-weekly

​

​

1️⃣How many people have opted into your free offering?

2️⃣How many people have signed up? (aka what is the close rate)

3️⃣How much money was spent on that advert

4️⃣Was the close rate MORE than the spend on the advert

5️⃣How many more people do you need to get through your “funnel” in order to achieve your goals

​

​

I will admit I’m not great at being consistent with it, but because most of the mentors I’ve had in the past have always asked for these numbers I have HAD to do it!!!

As you become more familiar with it I know more or less how many new clients I will get with x amount of ad spend.

​

​

As I’m switching my focus on my business, I’m now getting strict again with these numbers because I’m using new strategies so I am taking to the time to track these!

​

​

Knowing your numbers is extremely important or you’ll waste money on ads and spend the next 5 years trying to achieve your goals that could have been achieved in one year!

​

​

​💜KNOW YOUR NUMBERS! LOVE YOUR NUMBERS! 💜

​

Lots of love!

Have you ever been out for a coffee with a friend and by the time you’re finished you feel absolutely exhausted and like that friend has sucked the living life out of you, like in a vampire movie! 😩
​
​
​
​
It takes you days to recover and hopefully they won’t get in touch again for another few months….

​
​
Over the coming months start to take note of who leaves you feeling exhausted, tired, and irritated😧 ​ and who leaves you feel energized, motivated, and like you can conquer the world! 🌍
​
​
​
​
Quite a bit of research has been done about how the people you hang around with affect your earnings and it’s really bizarre, but you are the average of the 5 people you hang around with the most!!!!
​
​
​
​
So if you spend all your time with people that aren’t interested in business, helping people, or making a GREAT LIFE, they will pull you back down.
​
​

​
​
If only it was that simple!
​

It’s very hard to just cut all ties with people especially if you’ve been friends for many many years and you feel obliged to stay friends.
​
​
One thing that I do is 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑡.
​
​
So instead of seeing some friends as I used to now, I’ll only see them 2 or 3 times a year.
​
​
It saves me being around their negativity towards my business (yes some friends will take the piss out of your “business” because it’s not a “real” job).
​
​
I have friends that I party with – and don’t discuss any business with these friends. Mind you I’m even getting too old for partying!
​
​
I may sound boring but I get more excited about what I’ve got planned for my future than I do about going on a piss-up so my goals and my future comes first.
​
​
When I achieve my goals and I’m sat on a porch watching the sunset across the seas in Cyprus, sipping cocktails then I’ll party!
​
​
I have got friends who are in the same business as we are and I love spending time with them. We love talking about business and what’s working and what’s not working.
​
​
We love sharing our goals and dreams with each other and supporting each other! We also support each other when things aren’t going great, as sometimes they will, and sometimes we’re just an ear to listen when you need a rant!

What about family?
​
​
OOH this is such a hard one….
​
​
My mother gets under my skin quite easily when it comes to business. Always making comments like “you always have so much going on”. “mind you don’t overdo it”. “Oh, what do you want to do that for” and the list goes on.
​
​
But guess what. She doesn’t’ really understand. She has never run a business of her own and she means well.
​
​
It’s taken me many years, but now I know what to tell her, what not to tell her, and also to take what she says lightly.
​
​
The problem with family members is that their words cut deep and will affect you the most.
​
​
Close friends who have no idea about business will make remarks about ideas you have “oh I don’t think that will work because xyz”.

The post Who do you spend time with?  appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

​

​

Standing on a line cutting cauliflower or broccoli for 10 hours a day or cutting swede! ​ YIP, I can cut you broccoli or cauli ready to go for your roast in under 10 seconds! (you always learn something!)

​

​

It’s quite sad actually that so many people settle for the job that they’re in, even if it’s sucking the life out of them, one day at a time.

​

​

People don’t get that they spend a huge part of their life at work, yet they stay there feeling unfulfilled, unsatisfied, unappreciated and like they’re just living through the motions each day.

At my lowest, I had suicidal thoughts, but instead of focusing on how I wanted to end it, it felt like things were so hopeless and I certainly couldn’t have imagined ever finding a job that would light me or fulfill me.

​

​

BUT I never got that far and the only thing that stopped me was my parents. ​ ​ Any pain I felt being alive did not even come close to the pain that committing suicide would do to my parents and that’s what stopped me.

​

​

Fortunately, I went to the doctor for something else and she diagnosed me with depression and that was the first start to my recovery. ​

​

​

That and a book called “Notes from a Friend” by Tony Robbins. ​ ​ Little did I know who he was at that time!

​

​

Since then I joined the police force – my lifelong dream! ​ ​ Or so I thought. ​ ​ ​ Although I enjoyed the job mostly, I also felt unsatisfied and I was dealing with the same criminals day in and day out and didn’t feel like I was having much of an impact. ​ BUT I never woke up not wanting to go to work and I had such an awesome team that I worked with.

​

​

However, once I was diagnosed with PTSD everything changed and after 7 months of treatment, it was clear that going back wasn’t going to be the right choice for my mental wellbeing, and the decision was pretty much made for me. ​

​

​

I could never have imagined not being a police officer anymore, but the Universe had other plans, which led me to where I am today and when I look back I think PTSD was a gift from the Universe as it gave me an exit strategy. ​

​

​

Now I get to do something that not only lights me up 🥰​ but also helps me look after my own mental health and body, through Pilates and Yoga whether that’s my own practice, teaching my clients or being a teacher trainer.

​

​

I now know that it is OKAY to leave jobs that you don’t like and it’s okay to leave jobs that you do like, but perhaps aren’t serving you fully in some way, whether that is physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. ​

​

​

​

So fast forward 15 years and I won’t lie, there are still low days and high days. ​ ​ Especially over the past 18 months – but then everyone has felt that. ​ ​ However, I received amazing help from therapists over the years and I’ve learned how to cope with my anxiety and can now manage my day-to-day life so much better and it’s rare that I even experience those really “bad” days. ​​👏

​

​

So why am I telling you all of this ❓

​

​

​

Things CAN get better if you DECIDE you want it to be better and then you DO something different to improve your circumstances.

​

​

If you had said to me back then, that I’d be in the police or I’d be running a successful Pilates & Yoga studio with a 6 figure income and it would support our whole family and we’d only be working about 20hrs a week I’d have said “no f******g way!”

​

​

BUT… this is our life now…

​

​

​

​

I look back on my life and sometimes it’s a blur, how on earth did I get to where I am now?

​

​

🤜One day at a time.

​

​

🤜One step at a time.

​

​

🤜One action at a time.

​

​

You might think that doing your Pilates or Yoga teacher training is minuscule or it couldn’t possibly give you an amazing life. ​ ​

​

​

👉 I am evidence that it can happen.

​

​

👉I’m not anyone special.

​

​

👉I am just like you.

​

​

​👉I cry and I laugh and I get angry and I get happy.

Being a teacher has allowed me to help others in a way that I could never have imagined – giving them a better quality of life as they’re not in pain or they suffer less with anxiety or depression or they’ve come off medication….

​

​

It’s also been the source of income for my own family and it supports both Paul and I.

Working with a business coach to build a business has meant that we now run a business around the kind of lifestyle that we want and sometimes Paul and I will sit in the hot tub and giggle because the life we live is just so laid back and we have so much time to spend with each other.

​

​

If I can make a successful business out of it, so can you. ​ ​ If you’re fed up with your job and you’re missing out on important things with your children or you’re stuck with a boss you hate or perhaps you’re in what you thought was your dream job, but it’s just not lighting you up anymore, ​ guess what 𝑌𝑂𝑈 𝐶𝐴𝑁 𝐶𝐻𝐴𝑁𝐺𝐸 𝑇𝐻𝐴𝑇!

​

​

​

Don’t wait for the next 2 years or 3 years or 5 years!

​

​

Life waits for no one and you are only delaying your success and happiness if you do wait!

​

​

​

​

I’m really excited to help you on your journey to not only getting your qualification but also getting you started on creating a life that you really love!

​

Lots of love

The post From Suicide to Success appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

It’s the reason we’ve designed our courses the way we have and we’ve put a lot of thought, effort and time into coming up with teaching exercises to help build your skill and 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕. ​
​
​
Unlike what Paul and I went through when we completed our own initial training, you get lots of teaching practice.
​
​
At first you may get nervous standing up in front of the group, but once you do it a few times you will get more comfortable with doing it and we have fun games to play too to help calm your nerves and make you feel more relaxed and actually start to enjoy the experience. 🕺
​
I don’t want to give all our secrets away, but I know that there aren’t many, IF ANY, that put so much effort on your teaching abilities, as we do! ​ ​ ​
​
But to have the ability you need to have knowledge and we’ve created:
💝 ​ ​ beautiful manuals, that we created and are exclusive to 𝒖𝒔,
🦴 ​ ​ and a video library of anatomy training specifically relating to Pilates & Yoga – not just the generic level 3 content. ​ ​
🤸‍♂️ ​ ​ Pre-recorded videos of exercises and modifications to refer back to whenever you need
🏥 ​ ​ descriptions of medical conditions so you modify your classes can look after your clients and keep them safe
🤜 ​ ​ and so much more ​
​
And you won’t get anywhere else and you have lifetime access so you can always go back to it, even after you’re qualified. ​
​
We have so much content to share with you, that having these pre-recorded modules will give you the opportunity to review content as and when it suits you even years later!
​
We don’t believe you can do your training in 5 days or 6 days and be ready to know how to look after clients so our courses are 11 days and we cover additional bonus content that will help you to look after your clients better and you’ll know how to adjust or modify exercises, if your clients can’t do some of the moves.
​
​

𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞.
​
​
And that’s why our courses are priced differently. ​
​
​
👉 We don’t call it Elite Pilates & Yoga Teacher Training just for fun. ​ 😉
​
​
This training will give you the edge over other teachers. ​ ​ It is the high quality training that will leave you knowledgeable, confident, experienced AND well prepared to help the many types of clients that will come to your class!
​
✔️Know how to modify exercises to suit the person in front of you (we aren’t all the same and shouldn’t be expected to do the same!)
✔️How to look after people
✔️Understand what you “should or shouldn’t” be doing with certain medical conditions
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ✔️ To name a few….
​
​
​
If you’re thinking of choosing your course, based on what’s the cheapest, I really from my heart, invite you to think again because it could be case that you’ll be flushing all the money down the toilet, if you’re investing in a teacher training that doesn’t really teach you how to be a truly confident and knowledgeable teacher.
​
​
𝑊𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑐𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑣𝑒, 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒:
​
💜 ​ excellent teachers and making sure they have confidence,
💜 ​ vast knowledge,
💜 ​ skills to read people’s bodies and respond accordingly and even
💜 ​ ​ understand the foundations of business,
​
​
I really invite you to think about WHY you’re doing this, and if it’s because you really want to teach, give yourself the best foundation possible.
​
Lots of love,

Tanja

The post Price differences appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

​

​

No matter what courses you do or skills you learn in life, you always start at the bottom and work your way up.

​

​

When you started school you were new and had to start from the bottom, then you left school and went to college or Uni, then you left there and got a job.

​

​

There’s a learning curve we all have to go through and doing your teacher training is no different.

​

​

However, because of the emphasis we put on giving YOU 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 your learning curve is so much quicker than what it might be in other situations.

​

​

𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒.

​

​

On the first weekend everyone arrives and you’re all nervous and of course feeling stressed as you have to sit the theory assessment that day. 🤯 ​ (Even I get nervous for you too!)

​

​

By Sunday you’re teaching in pairs and starting to get used to yourself having to verbalise pilates or yoga exercises. ​ ​ ​ ​

​

​

It’s laid back and you can even use books to help you, as the point isn’t that you have everything memorised, it’s just for you to get comfortable talking in front of other people.

​

Then as the weekends progress you start needing your book less, you start looking at your fellow teachers and seeing what’s in front of you and again there’s always some exercises to help speed up your learning process.

​

​

At the beginning of the third weekend it’s not unusual to have a wobble and a “I can’t do this” moment and then at some point during the 3rd weekend ….. 🙈

​

𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔.

​

​

There’s a switch from being the learner to the teacher and I can’t really explain what I see.

​

It’s like the teachers have a lightbulb 💡 moment and actually 𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑽𝑬 that you can teach. 🕺

​

​

You grow taller and you lift your head with this new belief and confidence AND THAT’S THE MAGIC FOR ME and that’s when YOU become a teacher. ​

​

​

Yes a piece of paper might say you’re qualified, but in my eyes being a teacher isn’t just the certificate, it’s the knowledge, skill and confidence that you gain from all the practising that we do and all the ways we make the learning interesting and fun. ​ ​ ​

​

​

​

If you want to join us on that then just get in touch by message or email and I’ll send you a prospectus and we can have a chat to see if we’re a right fit for each other! ​

The post My favourite moment in teacher training appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

​

​

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛???

​

​

Perhaps you’ve heard of closing the sale? ??

​

​

No one wants to be like a pushy salesman (I’m sure you’ve all experienced it at some stage), but in order to get people to join your classes the one thing, you must do…..

​

​

𝐴𝑆𝐾 𝐹𝑂𝑅 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝑆𝐴𝐿𝐸! 💰

​

​

And there’s a specific way you can do this without being pushy or sleazy.

​

​

Before I go into this…..

​

​

I’ve had so much training on this topic – some of it was good and some of it was bad and the most important thing I want you to remember is this…

​

​

𝑨𝑳𝑾𝑨𝒀𝑺 𝑪𝑶𝑴𝑬 𝑭𝑹𝑶𝑴 𝑨 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬 𝑶𝑭 𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑮𝑹𝑰𝑻𝒀!

​

​

𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

​

​

So here are the key steps to closing the sale…

1. LEARN THEIR NAMES!!!! (you will be surprised how much impact this has!)

2. Give your new client attention during the class for example if they said they want to try pilates because of a bad back then make sure during the class you say “this is great for your back” etc

3. After the class don’t leave them alone – we all know what it’s like being the new kid on the block!

4. Tell them what your packages are AND GIVE THEM A FORM with the information, I actually share examples of my forms with my private mentoring clients.

5. Offer them an incentive to register, but have a deadline on it

6. MAKE IT EASY!

7. Follow up!

​

​

I was actually trained by one company to try and get people to sign up on the dot right there and then – and to be honest – this did NOT feel good to me.

​

​

𝐼 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑎 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑢𝑝 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 – 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑑𝑜 𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑡 – 𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑦 – 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒, 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦.

​

​

You may have a different opinion or sales training and you have to go with what feels right for you!

​

​

If you do NOT offer your services or give them information – they are less likely to join!

​

​

So there you have it – IF YOU WANT FULL CLASSES THEN MAKE SURE YOU OFFER YOUR SERVICES. !!!!

​

​

𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚. ​ 𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝐸𝐴𝑆𝑌 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑢𝑝!

​

​

​

​

If you make it too hard to complicated people will just leave it. ​ So make it easy and straight forward. ​

​

​

Let me know how it goes!

​

Lots of love

The post How do you offer your services? appeared first on Elite Pilates Teacher Training.

First of all, I don’t really like the word “syndrome”. ​ Syndrome’s are often “unfixable” unless with medication and I also think it takes away the seriousness of other “syndromes” SO I prefer to call it Imposter Belief …..

​

🤜 That is what I’ll be referring to it as! ​ 𝑰𝑴𝑷𝑶𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑭

​

​

So what exactly is Imposter Belief ❓

​

​

​

Have you ever wanted to do something and thought:

​

​

​

👉 “𝐼’𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ”

​

​

👉 “𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ”

​

​

👉 “𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠”

​

​

👉 “𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑒”

​

​

👉 “𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝐼’𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡….”

​

​

👉 “𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑦 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠”

​

​

​

​

Teh good thing about this is that you are 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑨𝑳𝑶𝑵𝑬. 🕺

​

​

We all go through this at some point or another.

​

​

Would you ever believe it if I told you Albert Einstein had Imposter Belief ❓

​

​

And what about Tom Hanks ❓

​

Or Tina Fey ❓

​

​

OR get this…..

​

​

𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑮𝑨𝑮𝑨 ❣️

​

​

You see.

​

​

It’s not exclusive to us minions……. 🤪

​

​

Even the rich and famous suffer from it.

​

​

​

BUT the difference between them and us is that they never let it stand in their way. ​ ​ ​ The found a way to work through those limiting beliefs and I’m sure you would agree have been very successful in their chosen fields AND guess what…

​

​

There is no reason why you can’t either.

​

​

Here is a few steps on how to deal with Imposter Belief

​

​

1️⃣ 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑.

​

​

When you’re about to look for a new job or perhaps you’re considering your pilates & yoga teacher training….

​

WHAT pops up into your head at the very moment ❓

​

​

Honestly, sit right now, close your eyes and think about what it is you want to do.

​

​

What is coming up for you ❓

​

​

Just allow the feeling. ​ It’s only when you face these gremlins head on that you can actually work through them and smash them out your way. 💪 🤛

​

​

Start noticing what is triggering these beliefs. ​

​

Could it be you’re comparing yourself to someone on social media and every time you see them you start to feel like a fraud or you’ll never be able to achieve what they have ❓

​

​

2️⃣ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔?

​

​

For example if something shows up for me on social media I can unfollow the person or even pause them for 30 days, which I have done in the past.

​

Is there a specific person that you see quite often perhaps a teacher, business parter or office colleague ❓

​

How can you reduce the impact this person or situation has on you ❓

​

​

3️⃣ 𝑫𝑰𝑺𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑽𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑭

​

​

Now it is time to blow your own trumpet. 🎺

​

Reflection is something we rarely do, yet it’s extremely powerful when it comes to building our own self confidence.

​

Look back at times at your life when you got a promotion through sheer hard work or you got accepted into a University you wanted.

​

Perhaps, like me you’ve travelled from another country with nothing but a backpack and now you own a house, you have a successful business and also spent several years as a police officer.

​

Grab a piece of paper and write down what 𝒀𝑶𝑼 have been successful at. ​ No one else is going to see it, unless you want them to, 𝑺𝑶 𝑩𝑬 𝑯𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑺𝑬𝑳𝑭, or even ask your BFF or partner to help you with this ❣️

​

You’ll be surprised at how chuffed you begin to feel when you see that actually you 𝑨𝑹𝑬 successful.

​

​

4️⃣ 𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑫𝑶 𝑰𝑻!

​

Now that your confidence is high and you’re walking around like a peacock and as Nike says, JUST DO IT. ​ ​ Go and do the thing that you wanted to but were holding yourself back.

​

🤜 Go apply for the job.

​

🤜 Go ask that person on a date.

​

🤜 Get in touch with training providers about doing your Pilates or Yoga Teacher Training

​

​

𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑫𝑶 𝑰𝑻❣️ ❣️ 🕺

​

​

​

The final thing I want to touch on is this.

​

​

𝑵𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

​

​

Perhaps you see someone really successful pilates or yoga teacher who is constantly on social media doing 10 lives a day and they have 6 million followers.

​

​

That may look great, but it has taken a ton of hard work, and hours away from their family and friends to achieve that and to 𝑴𝑨𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑰𝑵 that. ​ ​

​

​

Personally I don’t want to work THAT hard and for me TIME with my family is the most important thing.

​

​

Of course I have my financial goals, BUT my mission is to always create MORE TIME to spend with my husband and my dogs and being out in nature. ​ ​

​

​

If I wanted to have what this other person had, then I’d have to give up all that time and I’m not prepared to do that.

​

​

So there is a light and a dark side to every person and situation you see, so next time you feel like you’re comparing yourself to some celebrity Yoga teacher also consider wow that’s awesome, but also take a moment to think what could potentially be the dark side to it, and sometimes looking at the disadvantages is enough for me to say….

​

​

Err no thanks!

​

​

I hope you have found this useful and Imposter Belief can show up anywhere and anytime ❣️

​
