January often feels like a whirlwind for Pilates teachers in the UK. Between tax deadlines, new client enquiries, schedule changes, and the lingering winter blues, it’s no surprise that things can feel overwhelming.

And let’s face it—sometimes things don’t go as planned. That new class venue might not attract enough clients, or a couple of course participants may drop out last minute. When this happens, our immediate reaction often leans toward fear, self-doubt, or frustration.

But what if we reframed these moments? Instead of reacting with worry, we could respond with curiosity.

Curiosity invites us to explore new possibilities:

  • Could that unexpected gap in your schedule make room for something you’ve been putting off, like professional development or personal self-care?
  • Might those cancellations highlight an opportunity to reassess your offerings or reach out to new audiences?

The next time you find yourself falling into fear or blame, pause. Take a deep breath and ask: What opportunities could this situation create for me?

By embracing curiosity, you transform setbacks into stepping stones, opening doors to growth and new possibilities. So this January, challenge yourself to lean into curiosity and see where it takes you.

Are you ready to go from overwhelm to growth? Why not try one of our existing group coaching calls on the Well Movement Teacher programme? The first one is on me, no charge and no tacky sales tactics afterwards.
