Traditional versus Contemporary Pilates - Not all Pilates is the Same!!

Sisters-in-Service

What if the path to fitness and mindfulness could also be a journey of personal acceptance and inclusivity? Join me as I unravel my evolution from a skeptic to an enthusiastic advocate of Pilates, strictly because of one instructor. Through this episode, I’ll take you through the intriguing distinctions between traditional Pilates, and contemporary Pilates, which often embraces modern tools like foam rollers and other equipment. As a seasoned instructor, I stress the importance of the rigorous certification process for traditional instructors and share essential tips to help you find the ideal Pilates studio and instructor that caters to your specific needs.
Creating an environment that embraces imperfection and inclusivity is just as crucial as the exercises themselves. With a "no perfection policy," this episode encourages everyone to embrace their flaws and foster a supportive community, enriched by the comfort and authenticity of pets like dogs and cats. I remind you of the importance of carving out a personal space for your workouts and self-care, reassuring you that it’s never too late to try new challenges and achieve what once seemed impossible. Let’s embark on this unique wellness journey together, always prioritizing safety and mutual care.
