Pilates benefits kids in many ways. Pilates can boost physical fitness and increase concentration in the classroom for kids. But kids can pose interesting challenges when it comes to teaching them- they are less likely to stay still, or to follow detailed instructions, or to understand high-level fitness lingo. So what to do?

Make it a game: You can do a Pilates Says take on the popular game Simon Says!
Identify role models: Being able to have someone to relate to can make Pilates more enjoyable for kids and easy to get them excited.
Harness the energy: Incorporate cardiovascular exercises
when the little ones have a lot OF extra energy. This way, you can harness that energy in a controlled manner.
Improvise: Don’t be scared to play it by ear. If there are some moves that the kids are enjoying more than others, mix up the routine and follow their interest.
Take it easy: Remember they are just kids so take it easy and have fun!
Save the breath for last: Working on breathing and educating kids on how to breathe properly will help them calm down from the all the exercise and is a nice way to end.
