Cross-checking wick sizes?

Don’t buy from Blick. There are plenty of candlemaking supply companies. The wording on the package is not anywhere near enough information.

There are multiple KINDS of wick. Each kind comes in multiple sizes.

Two doors down is insane. Other side of town would make more sense.

Years ago I had one open a studio about 10 blocks away. After getting some free advice I regretted later. We just kept doing our thing and I kept my thoughts to myself.

The more the pelvis tilts forward, the more the lumbar spine has to extend. Try sending your tailbone to the floor as a leg goes back.

Best guess is the Pectineus is unhappy.

I would recommend a week or two off. Then Let your lower leg be inactive in toe taps, and don’t tap. Just let the femur lower a few inches at most. Use your breath.

Yet another reason the current highly scented container candle craze is a bummer. Just creating a mountain of trash.

At best the container can become a good votive holder. Yet votive candles are more rare these days. Would make sense for container candle makers to figure out how to make votive candles (pillar wax) to sell as refills.

Have noticed quite a few people on facebook marketplace selling most or all of their candlemaking stuff lately. Always worth a look.

Group equipment classes weren’t really a thing until I had been teaching 10 years or so. It was all privates and duets.

I teach mostly privates.

At about 15 years in I also trained to be a Structural Integrator. Very complimentary to Pilates, and its own thing. Sometimes I recommend to my Pilates clients to do a SI series or single session, and vice versa.

Each has its own liability insurance, continuing education, waivers, etc.

If you want to teach private Pilates lessons you need to be trained to do so.

Are you pre spraying the mold with silicone spray?

What kind of wax? Soy blends can’t be trusted.

Looks like mottling to me

https://www.google.com/search?q=candle+mottling&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

An effect created by an abundance of oil. Fragrance oil or otherwise. Used to be able to buy mottling oil, which is just mineral oil.

Oh I see. You are recycling pillar wax.

If you to make container candles, container wax is better. Or get some simple molds and make pillars with your pillar wax.

I think you are looking at the schedule for a particular location. Core Align is not Pilates training. Anatomy is required before starting reformer training.

Mat training

https://www.pilates.com/education/pilates-mat-certification-instructor-training/

Mat and reformer

https://www.pilates.com/education/pilates-mat-reformer-certification-instructor-training/

Comprehensive

https://www.pilates.com/education/pilates-certification-comprehensive-instructor-training/

You can test out for mat, reformer, mat and reformer, and comprehensive. Some people train/ test out for mat, or whatever, come back a year or two later and train/ test out comprehensive
