The Pilates Goddess Podcast

This early episode from 2022 is very important! You may notice that I have very distinct opinions about how to teach Pilates, and especially regarding language and cues.

The three cues I outline in this episode are useless, confusing, and ultimately can harm your clients. Stay away!

Somehow every workout class today is selling itself as blended - HIIT cardio, strength training, and mobility work all in one. Unfortunately, this approach waters down the effectiveness of each class of work, and is unsustainable.

If you exercise daily, as many of the people who attend my Pilates classes do, please separate your workouts. I promise that yu'll feel a difference in all the best ways.

Hello and Happy New Year! Let's talk about honesty and the lack thereof on social media, including in groups. Basically, we all struggle and screw up, but you rarely see that on social.

Today we start to sit up. These 4 exercises - Spine Stretch, Open Leg Rocker, Corkscrew, and Saw - work us in spine flexion, extension, and rotation. We sit, we rock & roll, we rotate the lower body with some added spine movement, and we rotate the upper body with added spine and shoulder movement.

These are SO important!

Rolling like a ball is our first experience in full spine flexion, head to tail. It's a fun one for flexion-tolerant healthy spines, and there are many ways to modify it and even make it harder!

Rolling prepares us for much of the mat to come, and helps us teach many flexion exercises in the system, including stomach massage, short spine, tower, monkey, and others.

Oh, The Single Leg Circle, you're so simple yet so hard. This exercise works on pelvic stability, quad and hip flexor strength, and shoulder stability. In the more advanced versions, it actually works on pelvic mobility as well.

In the full studio there are tons of places to practice these - cadillac/tower, barrels, reformer. I also offer modifications and variations.
