رونوشت کامل Where does confidence in teaching actually come from?

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.600 In the course, you say nobody can teach like you. 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.279 What do you mean by that? 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.360 It works the other way too. 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.120 You can't teach like me. 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.360 You can't teach like anybody else. 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.680 You can only teach like you. 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.600 We all have our own gifts and our own way of doing things. 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.319 So part of this course is helping you find the you inside the teaching. 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.519 Letting go of trying to be something that doesn't really suit you, something that doesn't speak to your values and your beliefs. 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.000 When you let go of that, it's incredible what you can do for yourself and for your clients. 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.920 Last season was all about values and your why. 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.959 So what does any of that have to do with teaching a class on a Tuesday morning? 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.439 People ask me that. 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:10.959 Why do I need this? 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.399 I just want to teach. 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.639 Well, here's a little secret. 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:21.680 If you don't know who you're serving and you don't know why you teach, it's much harder to structure your classes. 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.519 We went through values, your why and your niche in season five, so I won't repeat it. 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.360 But here's the teaching side. 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.519 When you're clear on those things, it helps you choose your exercises. 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.600 It helps you plan your classes. 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:43.600 You see all those fancy things on social media and you can admire them, but they might have nothing to do with the people on your mats. 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.959 So you stop comparing and you stop worrying. 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.439 I should be teaching these three exercises, but my client can't do them. 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:52.720 You don't have to. 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.800 Maybe one day, but first you start where they are. 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.959 That sounds like a relief. 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.720 It saves you time and it saves you energy. 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.560 And your clients feel it. 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.800 They know what they're going to get from you. 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.120 They're not learning things they don't need. 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.319 They're learning what helps with the problem they came in with. 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.439 And over time, something lovely happens. 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.639 You stop being the person with all the answers. 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.560 You hand the responsibility back to them, bit by bit. 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.560 They become the problem solver, and you're there to guide them. 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.519 That's a very confident place to teach from. 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.759 So walk me through the course. 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.920 What comes after the welcome? 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.519 There are three parts. 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.639 The first is understanding your clients. 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.120 What motivates them to come and see you? 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:42.720 What gets in the way? 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.560 What they're really looking for, and how they learn. 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.519 Because if we don't understand how adults learn, it's very hard to build cues and structures that work for them. 00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:02.079 The second part is your teaching toolkit, your best practice teaching tools, showing, explaining, and asking questions. 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.639 Then touch and imagery. 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.279 How you give feedback, how you build a cue, and storytelling, which is one of my favorite things. 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.519 Yes, in a Pilates class. 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.040 Wait for that episode. 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.319 The quiz in that part asks whether the words you choose have a big effect on the movement. 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.279 They do. 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.519 That's most of the toolkit, really. 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.279 And the third part? 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.920 Planning and teaching your classes. 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.920 What makes a good class? 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.079 How to teach one class to a room full of very different people. 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.360 And how to keep it moving and fresh for the clients who've been with you for years. 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.199 Why that order? 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.839 Because the people come first. 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.839 If you don't know who's on the mat, the tools have nowhere to land. 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.800 You can have the most beautiful cue in the world. 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.759 If it doesn't fit the person, it won't work. 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.680 So you start with them. 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.839 Then you build your toolkit. 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.959 And the class plan is where it all comes together. 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.959 What could someone do this week before they've heard any more? 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.279 Write down why you teach. 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:08.560 Just a few lines. 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.240 What drew you to Pilates? 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.399 What made you want to share it? 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.199 Keep it somewhere you'll see it before class. 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.480 Then, in your next class, notice one moment when you're worrying about yourself. 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.000 How you sound, how you look, and move your attention to one person on a mat. 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.000 What do they need right now? 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.040 Just that. 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.360 And see what happens to the worry. 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.080 So three things to take away. 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.840 One, confidence doesn't come from knowing more. 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.320 It comes from how you reach out and communicate with the people in front of you. 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.200 Two, it comes from your heart. 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.679 From wanting to share something you love. 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.080 Then it isn't about you anymore. 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:50.960 3. 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.440 You can only teach like you. 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.919 Get clear on who you teach and why, and let the rest go. 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.080 And the question to sit with? 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.559 Why do you teach what you teach? 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.799 And when you're teaching at your best, where is your attention? 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.840 Everything we talked about today is in the Welcome to Tanya's new online course, Teach Pilates with Confidence. 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.799 It's an online course built on Tanya's book. 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:24.000 It has three parts understanding your clients, your teaching toolkit, and planning and teaching your classes. 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.120 There are video lessons from Tanya herself and a short quiz at the end of each part. 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:30.480 It's opening soon. 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:36.480 You'll find it at tanyahhudder.com/slash academy, where you can ask to hear when it opens. 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.799 Next episode, we start part one with the people on the mat. 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.120 How do adults actually learn? 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.879 Tanya, last word? 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.679 You already have what it takes. 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.279 I really believe that. 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:55.440 Your job isn't to become someone else, it's to find the way you teach and share what you love. 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.759 I'd love to help you do that.
