What is a Pilates Mentorship Program?
Our mentorship program provides the opportunity for professional teachers and teachers-in-training to get guidance from Jules Wolf Stenzel to hone Pilates and CoreAlign skills in order to move towards your next level of teaching. You will get the feedback and the second set of eyes you need to improve your instruction skills. Each program is personalized to strengthen your abilities.
Your Mentor
Jules has been teaching Pilates since 2007, and received her first classical Pilates comprehensive teaching certification in 2009. However, her teaching experience goes back further. She has taught dance, fitness movement, yoga, and environmental education to people of all ages since 1993. She received her Master Pilates Teacher designation through Lolita San Miguel in 2017.
While teaching, she has continued to look for ways to broaden her methods and create a positive learning environment for all types of learners. It is clear, that clients and students come to the Pilates and movement realms with many personal physical challenges and also different learning styles. As a teacher, it helps to have many different strategies to reach all types of people. Jules has many teaching strategies learned from her many trainings and various modalities and will help you brain storm ways to practice that fit into your learning patterns. She will give you clear tips, things and ways to practice, and with her guidance, you will devise a specific plan to improve your teaching skills.
Is the Mentorship Program for me?
Sometimes, as teachers, we hit a wall, and just don’t know what to do to reach a client or how to explain things another way or how to help a student get through a learning block. Sometimes we need help creating a healthful situation and modifications for an injured or recovering client. Sometimes we just need practice to feel comfortable teaching or cuing.
