Personal Statement
I am already in Saudi Arabia teaching at university. The school ends on 31 May after which I will be free till the end of August, i.e. for 3 months.
I would like to spend those 3 month as a Pilates and Yoga Instructor. The Health Club would have someone to be able to start teaching almost immediately and with no obligations (contract, flight ticket, insurance, iqama, etc.), apart from accommodation. In the meantime they can look for a longterm instructor. And if I prove my qualities and they want to employ me in the future, my current contract ends at the beginning of 2019 when I could join them.
I have 10 years of experience teaching Pilates to young and old, fit and unfit, children and the elderly, top athletes and the pregnant, new mothers, men and women. I teach both mat and Reformer, group classes and one-to-one. I am a certified yoga and swimming instructor, too. I have all the original certificates here with me. I can teach in Arabic, too. I also have managerial experience.
Apart from my Pilates and Yoga teaching, I had an exciting career in Media and Broadcasting (producer in BBC World Service), PR, Communication, Engagement, Training, and Coaching for Personal Performance. At present, I teach all forms of Pilates, including mat, Reformer, Chair and Cadillac, as well as various small equippment. I am also managing a small team of Pilates instructors in a private practice (rehamoon.sk). For the advertised position, I believe I meet all the criteria both managerial and fitness ones. I am totally excited at the prospect of being able to draw on all my professionalism and expertise in all the relevant aspects of the job, along with working in different languages I can speak. I believe I am the right person to inspire people, especially women, and give them energy and motivation for exercising, especially as I have been keenly following the developments in the body science, be it fitness, nutrition, DNA testing, and postural issues.
Seeking work in Saudi Arabia
Employment History:
November 2008 - March 2018 - Yoga / Pilates Teacher at (most recent employer hidden for confidentiality) London, and Bratislava, UK - United Kingdom, (Health Club)Duties included:
I qualified in Pilates Level 3 in 2008 in London, in a 2-year course which also included anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, muscle and posture assessment, nutrition and personal training. Since then, as a Pilates instructor as well as a Personal Performance Coach, I have worked with different kinds of people, including athletes, teenagers, children, pregnant women, the elderly, the injured, and various nationalities. As I gathered experience, I would take many workshops to keep up with the speedy development of the body science. These included Stott Pilates, Pilates with small equipment, Body mechanics and kinetics, functional movement, Reformer, using Pilates in physiotherapy, and others. I have noticed that the majority of injuries and pain is caused by incorrect posture and misalignments, and my professional interest was developing towards rehabilitation Pilates, helping people recover from injuries and pain. As such, after a strict test I was admitted to a private clinic http://www.rehamoon.sk/ offering rehabilitation care by means of Pilates Medical based on Stott Pilates. I lead one-on-one treatments as well as group classes. I find my work with people suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions and taking them along the path to recovery immensely satisfying. Moreover, having suffered from a debilitating spinal injury myself and fully recovered through Pilates, I am a deeply emphatic teacher who feels their pain.
As for languages, apart from perfect English, Slovak and Czech, I also speak Arabic and Russian. I can also brush up on my German, if need be. I believe that my 9-year practical Pilates experience, personal understanding of injury and pain, and a great passion for constantly evolving body science, makes me an ideal addition to your team of therapists.
I would be looking forward to the new challenge of working in a new environment. It would be a great honour to work for a clinic like yours, and I would give my all to offer top service to the clients.
