Pilates Teacher Self-Care

Hannah Teutscher
About this episode

Teachers are such generous people who give so selflessly to their students and often forget to take care of themselves. In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, we discuss the importance of Pilates teacher self-care. Tune in to hear all about why you need to prioritize self-care, why you need to set clear boundaries about who you are capable of teaching, the importance of settling limits of how much you give of yourself, and why you need to protect your time. Today you will be reminded that you cannot process your trauma through your clients and be empowered to let your personal story become your teaching superpower. To hear all about Hannah’s personal boundaries and be inspired to set your own, press play now!
