the yogi + the corgi

the yogi + the corgi We offer fun and safe yoga + bring your dog experiences. Oh hi there, welcome! I am Kat. I am a yogi, teacher, a forever student, and lover of dogs.

I began my journey with yoga over a decade ago, and very soon knew that this was life changing. From there, I achieved my RYT200HR with Hom in Sydney training under Dice Iida-Klein and Briohny Smyth. In 2020, my life changed again with the arrival of my darling fluff monster Pickle. Like many dog parents I love my dog and want to take him everywhere. I’ve struggled to find options that welcome dog

s, whether restaurants, accommodation, and public transport. Which is why, I have several services that encourage your dog to attend and enjoy the experience together. It is so important to me to ensure that you and your dog feel safe in every environment, so please reach out for any questions.

It's Tuesday! And another

This one is just a couple quick tips on getting employed!

1. Set up a Pilates specific social media account - it'll help you showcase your skills, build a following and develop a brand. Think of it almost like a little visual resume.

2. Prepare a Pilates specific resume - include your Pilates Education and experience + those transferable skills you have, like sales, customer service and marketing.

3. Tailor your application messages - it means a lot to small studio owners when you do a little bit of research rather than a mass copy and paste. Have a look at what their business ethos and style is and customise your message to them.

4. Don't be afraid of making a cover list - it is truly the gateway into regular classes. Studio members and owners will get to know you and you'll usually be top of the list for regular classes.

These are some things I've done which really helped me - let me know what worked for you!

It's time! Today's tip - where are you positioned in the room and why is it important to move around the room?

1. Observe your clients from different vantage points - this will help you cue to the bodies in front of you and adapt your program based on how your clients are moving as a group

2. Sharing your time - you want to be able to give everyone a bit of your time and offer support when needed, so moving around the room aids this

3. If you're demonstrating - make sure your clients can see and hear you

Moving around the room helps you manage the room. So if you're a little bit nervous or shy, just begin to build up the confidence and habit to get your steps up and herd the room like a corgi 🐕

It's another Tuesday and it's time for another

This one is about observation and the importance of observation hours. Rather than thinking about it as just sitting there and being a little creep (which is fine, I love it) it's a great opportunity for you to:

1. See someone doing the job you want to do without the distraction of practicing the class (self mastery)
2. See how clients react to cues, tactile adjusts and energy when an instructor leads the room
3. See how different bodies move to exercises and movements

If you're not into observing classes - let me know why! I'd love to understand and see if I can change your mind 🤭

It's your t-tippin-tues-time ❤️

This is probably one of the hardest questions to answer.

How do I know if I'm ready to teach?
Well - to make it short, you're not going to know until you try. And even then, it might take you some practice and time to find your groove.

Ultimately, if you've been thinking about becoming a Pilates teacher - if you're passionate and love it, it will come. The worst that can happen is that you learn more and maybe don't teach others.

But, you never know - maybe you'll become THAT Pilates instructor for someone else - and that's pretty damn amazing 😍

If you're an instructor - how did you know?

It's Tuesday Teaching Tipping Time!

Once you've got the basics underway, it's time to continue to learn and grow your knowledge. This week's tip is how I like to study anatomy:

1. Pick one thing eg. Rotator cuff, pelvis, spine
2. Learn the muscles, bones, joints, movements, relevant exercises and common compensations
3. Spend the week deep diving and revising this every day (maybe as you travel to/from work or allocating 10 minutes)
4. Incorporate this into my weekly programming
5. Teaching this

I find it helps me cement the details into my brain and also see how the exercises translate onto bodies in front of me. Sometimes I need more than one week, so I'll continuously revise what I've learnt and add on a little more so I don't forget.

How do you study your anatomy? Got any tips for me? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏽

🎤 it's Tuesday 🎶

It's time for your this week we continue on with "voice" but using your voice.

Using your voice as a tool to match the movement you are cueing is a great skill. It helps:
- Build energy and atmosphere
- Helps clients understand when they can't see you
- Super fun

It can be as simple as:
- staccato in your voice to build tempo
- low and slow when you want to drop speed or lower energy
- going high in tone when you want to lift!

Do you use your voice to teach? Has it worked? Do you know someone who teaches like this? We'd love to hear from you!

Our next intake starts 31 October! DM to find out more as spots are VERY LIMITED ❤️

(Shout out to my vocal coach and kween JAZZY GOLD for this great tip) 🌟

It's time and this one is on looking after one thing we often forget about but is our greatest tool.

OUR VOICES

Hot tips to look after that money maker:
1. Stay hydrated
2. Consider vocal lessons or vocal training
3. Vocal warm ups before a long shift
4. Rest them sweet vocal cords

Do you do any of these? What do you think?

It's your with and ❤️

This week is a hot tip which sounds a bit obvious but sometimes forgotten. Remember to check in with clients.

What does that mean? Just ask:
- How does this feel?
- How are the springs?
- Where are you feeling it?
- Are you comfortable?
- Does this make sense?

Rather than guessing your way through a class, just ask!

Well.. that's it. What do you think? I'm just checking in!

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday.. what would a Tuesday be without another

Beyond teaching skills - what type of teacher do you want to be? Finding your values, voice and ability to critically think is important. It won't happen overnight, but taking the time to reflect always helps.

What do you think? How are you going to become the most authentic version of the teacher you want to be?
