The Art of Cueing
“There’s no such thing as a universal cue.”
You can know your exercises inside out…You can understand the body in detail…But if your client doesn’t feel what you’re asking for, the magic gets lost somewhere between your words and their movement.
This workshop is designed to close that gap.
Why this workshop matters
Every client walks into your session with a different body, a different history, and a different way of learning.
So why would one cue ever fit all?
Whether you’re teaching a busy group class or working 1:1, your ability to adapt how you communicate is what transforms a good session into a powerful one.
Have you ever felt like:
Your client “isn’t quite getting it”
You are repeating the same cue with little change
…then this workshop will give you the clarity and confidence you’ve been missing.
What you will explore
This is not about adding more cues.It’s about refining the ones you already use so they land clearly, precisely, and effectively.
Verbal cueing with purpose
Understanding when to use anatomical, spatial, or imagery-based language and how to choose the right one for the person in front of you.
The power of tactile cueing
How to use touch with intention to enhance understanding, not overwhelm it.
Reading your client in real time
Learning to recognise when a cue has landed, when it hasn’t and what to do next.
Adapting across settings
The difference between cueing in a group environment versus 1:1, and how to shift your approach seamlessly.
What you willll gain as a teacher
You’ll leave with:
Greater confidence in your communication
A clearer understanding of why some cues work and others don’t
The ability to tailor your teaching to different learning styles
A more refined, professional teaching voice that feels authentic to you
And just as importantly… your own practice will evolve
When you understand the movement needed for the exercises, it changes how you feel it in your own body, how you move your body and how you can pass this on to your clients.
This workshop will help you:
Deepen your own body awareness
Experience exercises with fresh clarity and precision
Recognise where your own movement habits may be limiting your teaching
Build a stronger connection between what you say and what you do
Because the more clearly you feel movement in your own body, the more effectively you can guide it in someone else’s.
Who is this for?
Pilates teachers who feel they have more to give but aren’t sure how to express it
Newly qualified instructors looking to build confidence
Experienced teachers wanting to refine and their teaching and cueing skills
Final thought
Cueing isn’t about saying more.It’s about saying just enough, in the right way, at the right time, for the right person.
That’s where great teaching lives.
