Chris is an excellent instructor! She was very attentive and thorough in helping us identify connections between movement principles, mat work, and progressions on the apparatus - all necessary for developing deeper understanding and growth toward the goal of becoming an effective instructor. Safety precautions and the mechanics of the apparatus were also thoroughly explained. I highly recommend this course with Chris!
Chris is a wonderful instructor. Patient, knowledgeable, highly skilled, and personable. As a beginner instructor, I feel confident knowing that I have more classes registered with Chris in the near future. She is highly focused and well organized with her lectures and movements.
Chris Rhoades is an incredibly knowledgeable Pilates instructor trainer. Not only is does she exceed in teaching the setup and exercises, but in keeping clients safe, and working with the body in front of you! She is a wealth of information, that she generously shares with her students!
I have been practicing Pilates for 7 months and immediately realized a desire to learn more about the method and hopefully one day teach it myself. This class proved invaluable to me as a comprehensive guide to anatomy. Having the ability to not only see the muscles on paper, but to also sculpt them gave me such an understanding of why and how our bodies work the way they do. Chris's complete mastering of the subject is obvious in her ability to not only explain the information, but to also express how all of the intricate details influence a Pilates practice as well as movement in general. Chris is always exceptionally patient - helping to bring the student to an understanding as opposed to simply memorization of the material. I would strongly recommend this class (ANATOMY IN 3D) to anyone, those new to anatomy or those well seasoned in the subject.
Chris demonstrated strong knowledge on the topic and the teaching method. She covered a lot of information seamlessly while offering us encouragement and patience. The teaching methods used in this class (ANATOMY IN 3D) were effective in helping us learn about anatomy and not simply memorize terms. I also feel confident that I understand how the muscles move the body.
Chris was an exceptional teacher who is passionate in her teaching and it shows very well. She made learning very fun and interactive. I am looking forward to continuing my Pilates education with her in the future!
Working with Chris in a small group setting was extremely beneficial. With the manual and her expertise, there was more to learn than I thought possible in two days, however I felt that our time was used efficiently and I came away with core knowledge and a new perspective on Pilates and Pilates instruction. As an inexperienced student, I was greeted with her patience and her confidence in me. Each day was fast-paced but purposeful. Through firm guidance and her ability to teach new material in a relatable way, I came away with a strong knowledge base that I will take to the next level.
The instructor was extremely knowledgeable from an academic standpoint and experientially. Attention was given to details that are normally overlooked, but it's the details that make a great instructor. She was very professional, patient, positive, and smiled alot! Thank you!
