Ep 7 of the Undercover Instructor Series with Jaquie Maree Bailey.
This episode has been a bloody long time coming! I got to sit down with my long-time #pilatespal Jacquie Maree Bailey while she was still in Melbourne Town teaching at the busy NU Pilates in Albert Park. I highly recommend you get yourself down to NU! It's a gorgeous boutique studio in the heart of Albert Park offering both reformer pilates and personal training with some of the best instructors you will find in Melbourne.
When Jacq and I get together we nerd out A LOT! Topics can range from Pilates, Yoga and movement philosophy to discoveries we have made in class planning, our own practice or challenging and rewarding experiences we have had while teaching. So it was time that we tried to capture some of the goodness that usually happens behind closed doors on camera and share it with you all.
I was so stoked to chat to Jaquie about her approach to class planning as while we have a lot of similarities we also have some pretty clear differences. Jacq is an absolute master of the slow build! her ability to keep her classes consistent and engaging is a skill she is both naturally attuned to but has also obviously put hours of work in to develop and fine-tune over the course of her teaching career.
I hope you enjoy the little snippets of our chat as much as I did in this Undercover Instructor Series. As always we would love to hear your comments, biggest take-aways or questions from this interview.
