Seven seasons, countless stories, and connections across the globe — what a journey it’s been. I’ve had the privilege of speaking with extraordinary people from all corners of the world — people I never would have met without this show. Their knowledge and insights have helped to keep Joseph Pilates’ vision alive. I’m grateful to everyone who listened, shared, and supported the podcast, especially my longtime subscribers.

So my loyal listeners, after seven seasons, it feels like the right time to step back and make space for other parts of life. A huge thank you to my sound engineer, Fabian Romero, whose talent, care and patience made every episode shine. Thank you again so much for your support, your messages, and of course, your ears!

Also, a huge shout out to my Podcast host, Buzzsprout that made it possible for All Things Pilates to be listened to in over 137 countries and territories. And, don’t worry though, all seasons are still available where ever you get your podcasts!

And lastly, my voice-over aspirations and audio production skills are ready and willing so if you have a project you need help with, feel free to reach out. I’m just a phone call or email away. Thank you so much for being part of this amazing chapter.

As the former host of the very first Pilates podcast called Beyond the Movement which began in 2005, Heidi Miller is our guest in this last interview of Season 7. Heidi held conversations with teachers in part about how effective and powerful the Pilates Method is especially beyond the studio. But in today’s environment with social media as the dominant connector, what’s been revealed is an ugly truth about the Pilates profession. Many teachers instead of being supportive and encouraging, diminish their peers and worse, many are bullied. I too, have been acutely aware of the lack of encouragement amongst many Pilates colleagues.

Have you ever heard of arachnoiditits? I know, neither had I..But my guest today has. In fact, she’s suffered from this autoimmune issue for the last 20 years. I wonder how Joe Pilates would treat a person with this type of disease which has no cure. Tune in as Elvia M. shares her process from being told she was destined to be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life to discovering the healing power of the Pilates Method. It didn't just provide physical therapy for her, it planted a whole new, deep-rooted system that helped to stabilize and keep Elvira's spine upright.

What must it feel like to be bedridden with Ehlers Donlos Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome? My guest today Chloe Bircher Thompson, a Pilates teacher living and working in England has lived with these 2 devestating disorders. Chloe’s health issues date back to childhood when her parents knew something was off about her physical abilties, so they took Chloe to several doctors and they concluded nothing was amiss. But there was. This is Chloe’s inspiring story about her determination to get well and though, she tried many modalities and dietary changes, it wasn’t until she discovered the Pilates Method that her life began to turn around.

Today we’re talking about one of the most powerful and sometimes not completely understood tools we have as Pilates teachers; Touch. The benefits are many: alignment correction, safety, connection, grounding and encouragement. When does it help? When might it harm? And how do we navigate those moments with clarity and care? To help break it all down is Second Generation traditional Pilates teacher, Roberta Kirschenbaum. However, just as we learn about the power of touch from a seasoned Pilates teacher, Part one closes with a dire message. Coming up next on episode 124: Betrayal in the House that Joe built. This is Roberta’s story of a trust she gave that was then abused.

Can you remember what you were doing at age sixteen? 

Our guest Elena Salamone does - in fact, this was the year she began learning Pilates mat work. And then, two years later, straight out of high school, Elena joined the Air Force and began training as an Aerospace Medical technician and pediatric medic. Yet, she never forgot about Pilates and for extra duty she took on a position as a physical training leader. She added Pilates to the soldier’s other workout programs and perhaps Joseph Pilates was encourging Elena, because as she lead the workouts, including his 34 mat exercises, she witnessed remarkable improvements in the soldiers fitness levels. So much so that they were able to easily pass their mandated physical test. Isn’t it ironic that Joe Pilates used his teachings with soldiers a century ago, and Elena used the same Method to empower the soldiers she worked with?

By now, most of you’ve heard of Contrology, the name Joe Pilates gave his exercise system, but have you ever heard of Pauseology? In this episode, Pilates studio owner, Sandra Schonrock, our guest who lives in New Zealand was having a rough time during menopause and while researching ways to help ease her discomfort she realized that if she was receiving conflicting information, other women were too, and an idea was born. Her studio, Contrology New Zealand Authentic Pilates, is attracting many women seeking ways including exercise to ease the challenges that menopause brings. 

But Contrology is just a part of the Pauseology brand and Sandra has been on a mission to introduce her students to the best health products and medicines New Zealand has to offer to help mitgate menstrual symptoms. Although Pauseology is designed for women, it can also impact men as they see their wives, daughters, sisters or mothers suffering.
