Steal our cueing scripts

One of the hardest parts of teaching Pilates is finding the right words in the moment.

You know what you want the client to do. You can see what needs to change. But somehow the cue coming out of your mouth feels too complicated, too vague, or just doesn’t land the way you hoped.

And honestly, this is completely normal.

Cueing is a skill that takes time because good cueing is not about saying more words. It’s about knowing what matters most in the movement and communicating it in a way the client can actually connect to.

Inside the brand-new Pilates Encyclopedia platform, cueing support is easier to find and easier to use in real sessions.

We don’t just tell you to “cue better.” We give you actual language, teaching ideas, imagery, hands-on cueing approaches, self-tactile options for group and virtual classes, and practical ways to help clients understand what you’re asking them to do.

You’ll also find cueing principles and guidelines that help explain why certain cues work well, why others create confusion, and how even a small wording change can shift the way an exercise feels for a client.

The kind of support you need so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you teach.

Sometimes having a clear phrase from an experienced teacher gives you the confidence to try it, adjust it, and slowly build your own teaching voice from there.

That’s how cueing starts to feel more natural. Not because you magically have the perfect words every time, but because you have strong teaching tools to pull from and enough practice using them to know what helps people move better.

That’s the kind of support we aim to provide inside Pilates Encyclopedia . . . and the brand new platform makes it much easier to find what you need when you need it.
