How Pilates Supports Strength, Balance, and Confidence at Any Age

 

The Active Ageing with Pilates Course is one of Taube Pilates’ specialised online teacher programs, designed for Pilates instructors who want to deepen their expertise and confidently work with clients aged 50 and over.

Through this course, you’ll expand your teaching toolkit with evidence-based repertoire, understand the impact of age-related physical changes, and learn how to create programs that are safe, inclusive, and enjoyable. Pilates can help slow aspects of the ageing process, including:

  • reduced flexibility and balance
  • bone density decline
  • pelvic floor weakening
  • postural changes such as kyphosis
  • supporting clients managing lifelong injuries or conditions

By learning to adapt exercises for each individual, you’ll empower your clients to move with strength, confidence, and independence, helping them feel supple, strong, and youthful at any age.

Every person should have the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.

The World Health Orginization states that "The number and proportion of people aged 60 years and older in the population is increasing. In 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older was 1 billion. This number will increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. This increase is occurring at an unprecedented pace and will accelerate in coming decades"

WHO also states "Societies that adapt to this changing demographic and invest in healthy ageing can enable individuals to live both longer and healthier lives and for societies to reap the dividends.

Louise is so knowledgeable, engaging and fun, and the materials, resources and tutorials make the courses very worthwhile. It is so important for instructors to continue learning to support our specific populations on their Pilates journeys.
