Tactile cueing. What is it and when should Pilates instructors
use it? And does the decision to use it change if you’re a male
instructor? With still a female dominated Pilates clientele are
male instructors expected to have to ask permission before they
place their hands on clients? Perhaps a consent disclaimer should
be included as part of the intact form a client signs before
beginning Pilates lessons? 

Teachers and students often develop a close bond, and though the
touch can be helpful  and healing, teachers must protect
themselves so students don’t misread any type of tactile cueing.
Tune in to hear Jack’s thoughts about this sensitive issue.
