Any advice or tips, suggestions on my first outdoor “Beginner Mat Pilates ” class?
This will be my first outdoor class as well as moving out independently in the group setting.
While I instruct in the studio, fitness center enviroment , both group and indiviual. I will be offering a beginner Pilates Mat class outdoors.
Any tips, or advice for outdoor fitness classes of any type including Pilates?
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
The best place to start is to contact the parks and recreation department in your community. Verify and confirm if and what you need to teach an outdoor class. Usually, if it’s a free community based class you will get a green light. A fee based class will require jumping through a couple of hoops. The prior is a great self promoting tool and gives back to the community. Tips for teaching in the great outdoors are have an arsenal of supplies for your students to make the experience comfortable: bug spray, disinfectant wipes, tissue, first aid kit, ice packs, bottled water, and sign in sheet with pen. As well as have students sign a general waiver prior to class. Outdoor classes are fun to teach and take!
