About this episode

 In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah explores the subtle (but powerful) shift from class leader to coach—and why it matters more than ever in today’s wellness world.
You’ll learn how to deepen your connection with clients, foster long-term growth, and create a movement experience that’s about more than just reps and flows. Whether you're brand new or decades into your teaching career, this episode will help you teach with more presence, confidence, and clarity.

In This Episode:

  • The difference between class leaders and transformational coaches
  • What clients actually remember from a session (hint: it’s not perfect transitions)
  • How to use presence, reflection, and intentional cues to guide growth
  • Simple coaching tools you can use in your next class
  • Why growth mindset is your greatest teaching tool—and how to cultivate it
