Pilates Instructors Insurance
Pilates is a mind-body practice, comprised of over 500 exercises that target the core musculature. The system’s founder, Joseph Pilates, designed a spring-resistant exercise machine, called the Reformer, on which the exercises are performed, although mat work is also an option. Additional exercise apparatuses used in Pilates include the Cadillac, the Ladder Barrel, the Spine Corrector and the Wunda Chair.
The core muscular network includes all of the front, back and lateral muscles between the arm pits and upper thighs. Pilates referred to this region as the “powerhouse,” teaching his students to utilize it in all of their daily activities. His method is considered a resistance exercise, as it focuses on efficient, fluid movements, which have a low impact on the human body.

Do Pilates Instructors Need Insurance?
Pilates is a highly effective method of exercise that concentrates on balance, core strength and body awareness. It is also a mind-body practice that requires complete control of the body by the mind. Pilates instructors are dedicated to imparting these teachings to their students, utilizing the mat, reformer, chair, trapeze and other machinery.
Instructors make every effort to teach their students about body awareness; however, this profession still involves risk. The possibility of an injury may seem unlikely but not unimaginable, especially when equipment is involved.
Like all health and wellness professionals, Pilates instructors need liability insurance to protect them in the event that something unfortunate does occur. At NACAMS, we hope to preserve the teachings of Pilates by offering instructors that protection.
