Observation Guidelines and Approved Online Resources

• Observation needs to total at least 50 mins.  
• Watching 2 videos to make a total of 50 mins is fine.
• Don’t forget about the tutorials section of the website.
• Remember that taking a class or private session does not count as a personal practice hour.

In Studio Observation Guidelines

NEVER eat, lie down, read magazines/books, talk on the phone, text message, etc., etc., while observing.  It is a privilege to sit in on a session, and you must respect the instructor and client. I will provide you with a list of clients and classes that you may observe, as some clients are not comfortable with observation. Instructors reserve the right to dismiss you if your behavior is inappropriate at any time.  You should remain silent, NEVER interrupt a session, and always sit on the periphery of the studio.  Do not sit on a reformer or the Cadillac.

Clean off equipment for clients that you observe.

Always thank the client for allowing you to observe the session.

Do not engage with instructors or clients during sessions.  THIS IS NEVER OK!

If you have questions for an instructor, write them down and ask them when the instructor is not in between clients.  You can always email me with questions too.

I will respond to emails and telephone calls within 48 hours of receiving them.

Always keep your notebooks and “stuff” neatly in the area where you are working out.

Never follow along with an instructor’s session.

Do not ask instructors questions while they are teaching.  Make notes and ask questions when convenient or call/email me.  Please respect that instructors only have 5 min. between sessions.

If you are working out on a piece of equipment needed by an instructor, you may be asked to move.
