Dealing with incessant bloat?

Or chronic tension in your core?

You're not alone, and the answers you're looking for might not be found in our Pilates classes.

In this episode, Marianne shares 5 transformative books that approach core health from a truly holistic perspective. Beyond "zip it up". 

She dives deep into the interconnected world of gut health, feminine wisdom, energetic anatomy, and the cultural forces that shape how we relate to our bodies.
