OPTIMAL Theory is a theory presented by Dr. Rebecca Lewthwaite and Dr. Gabrielle Wulf outlining what they found to be the most effective strategies to teach movement based on hundreds and hundreds of motor learning studies. They found that offering choice, creating enhanced expectancies of success, and promoting an external focus of attention to be the best strategies, but what does that mean to Pilates teachers?

Today we chat about doubts that new teachers may be experiencing as they begin teaching their own classes after teacher training. I know it can feel like you aren't ready to teach just yet, but there isn't one more training or workshop or conference that's going to make you feel ready.  My advice is to start where you are and recognize that you will learn so much as you begin to teach.
