A little bit about Timi
Originally Tertiary trained as a Physical Education Teacher, Timi never truly learnt how to move until she found Pilates. Her sporting background in Water Ski Racing saw her compete as part of the Australian team as the tender age of 16. In combination with lots of training and competing, she did a pretty good job at setting her body up for failure in her future years. Luckily enough she participated in one very simple Pilates session and that was all it took, she was hooked! Knowing how much better she felt in her body after one session, she was excited to see how much better she could feel and move if she studied it.
Timi loves what she does and it shows in her dedication to clients from all backgrounds and ability levels. People love her approach, not just because of her knowledge base, but because of her approachable and welcoming personality. At CCPMS there’s never any judgement, everyone is welcome in the studio and their sessions. Timi is deeply passionate about teaching good movement and creating change for people in their bodies and ultimately their lives.
What To Look For In A Studio & Instructor
Because Pilates is becoming so popular, there are many courses on offer. What you should be looking for in your instructor is a minimum of
An Advanced Diploma:- has the capacity to work along Allied Healthcare Providers & provide for Special Conditions. They have far greater knowledge about how to further Rehab injuries & provide appropriate exercise choices for those needing specialised knowledge. They also have Advanced Repertoire knowledge in both Studio & Mat.
A Diploma:- trained instructor has greater depth in exercise movement & is trained to make use of the equipment, such as Reformers, Cadillac’s (or Trap Table), Wunder Chair & Barrels. They can teach from a Basic to Intermediate level in both the Studio Environment as well as Mat.
Certificate 4:- this will allow the instructor to teach mat sessions only. You will also want an instructor that doesn’t just teach the repertoire. You want someone who has the ability to teach more than just the exercises, they should include principles in each & every session.
