Cowboys & Angels

Have you ever sold a house?  how did you choose your estate agent..theres so many to choose from! They all advertise in the same place..high street presence with a window display, local paper and websites, their own websites and websites like rightmove.co.uk or findaproperty.co.uk who have loads of agents all under one roof to save you the bother of searching.
How do you ever choose the right one? Theres the posh ones who wont look at a property under £200k, and theres the middle grounders who will take on anything, and sometimes have a posh property section, sometimes in a totally different office, or did you choose a Cowboy?
I used to be in the property business, but in the Letting department ..offering the same as many other agents, we usually took on the property by personality, the owner signed us up because they liked us, we were friendly, open, caring, found common ground and even though we were a little bit more expensive than a few of the competition, there were those charging more than us..so how did we build up a database of propertied..personality and knowing our stuff..

So how do you choose a Pilates Instructor, pretty much the same way? Personality? Experience?
Every teacher is different, Ive met a few through either taking part in their classes or meeting them at training courses..when I took the practical of my final exam, I was a guinea pig for a day and was amazed at how many styles of teaching I saw, some I couldnt wait to get out of the room and some engaged me from the very start, and wished I could do their class every week, yet we all teach the same thing and our goal for you is the same..to understand the method and the work of Joseph Pilates and to see improvements in your body..not just a flat stomach..but as you understand it more, you will see that you achieve pain free and stronger shoulders..stronger and more balanced muscles in your legs..its a full body head to toe workout programme..and its as hard as you want it to be..ok so we dont jump about the room so you cannot class it as a cardio workout (until you get on some of the equipment and do a tough routine..& a tough mat routine will make you sweat)  but you become aware that your shoulders may be tight( and you never knew it!), your hamstrings will be tight and your quads weaker, your feet will be a revelation as to how you use them and the precision in each move is highlighted..the awareness of your body is enlightening..inside out..
The work is endless, and a joy..each class you learn something new, discover muscles you never knew you had or a new move you werent aware of..taking Reformer work to the mat..using a Pilates Circle, Ball, weights, bands, foam roller..its fun as well as an education!
Good luck in choosing your teacher and long may you have a great working relationship with them!
