Meeting, Managing, and Motivating Clients: A Whole Person Approach for Pilates Teachers with MI Kim Boucher
As Pilates instructors, we know how powerful this work can be — it transforms bodies, strengthens minds, and restores confidence. But have you ever wondered why some clients come once and never return, while others instantly feel at home and keep coming back?
It’s not just about the exercises.
It’s about connection.
This is why I created the continuing education workshop:
“Meeting, Managing, and Motivating Clients: A Whole Person Approach for Pilates Teachers”
Why This Workshop Matters
In today’s fast-paced world, clients arrive in the studio carrying more than tight hip flexors and rounded shoulders. They bring stress, self-doubt, and sometimes fear. As instructors, our ability to recognize where a client is emotionally, mentally, and physically can make the difference between short-term attendance and lasting transformation.
This workshop bridges the gap between movement and mindset, helping Pilates professionals understand the person behind the posture.
What You’ll Learn
Participants will explore:
- Developmental stages: how teaching strategies evolve across age groups — from the energetic 30-year-old to the mindful 60-year-old.
- Personality styles: how to motivate different client types — the perfectionist, the hesitant beginner, the independent learner.
- Attachment and trust: understanding why some clients crave reassurance while others resist connection and how to respond effectively.
- Fear reframes: language that shifts clients from “I can’t” to “I’m learning.”
- Instructor self-awareness: recognizing our own teaching patterns and biases to create truly client-centered sessions.
You’ll leave with tools you can apply immediately in private sessions, group classes, or teacher mentoring.
The Intersection of Mind and Movement
As a Peak Pilates® Classical Master Instructor and Resident Mental Health Counselor, I’ve spent years studying how the human mind and body support one another.
When we approach Pilates through this integrated lens, we don’t just teach exercises — we guide transformation.
This workshop is about more than improving retention; it’s about helping clients feel seen, supported, and capable — at every stage of their journey.
