Our guest today Shelly Knight-Jones, creator of the Knight Technique and Pilates Barre workouts has been through an experience none of us would wish on any woman. In 2022, Shelly was diagnosed with DCIS Stage zero breast cancer and thinking it not such a big deal, went on with her life. But Shelly learned soon after her diagnosis that she needed a lumpectomy. During the procedure, they discovered the pea sized lump was larger than anticipated and when the pathology report revealed non-clean margins, with the advice of her doctor, she made the decision to have a double mastectomy. Today, Shelly is 2 years clean and thankfully, she’s healed remarkably well. Though still passionate about Pilates and her other fitness endeavors, Shelly’s approach to teaching has changed.

My guest Gwen Miller and I have a few things in common. We love what we do, we enjoy educating our students to the best of our ability and…we especially adore cats. But we also have something in common that isn’t worthy of our affection - we both have a condition called, Osteopenia.

You may recall, Gwen’s last visit to All Things Pilates in Season 5 and we celebrated her book, Safe Movement For All Spines. For this episode, we’ll focus on living with and perhaps healing from Osteopenia. For those entering menopause or post menopause, Gwen is a walking library on the different stages and conditions of our spines, and how dealing with BMD, bone, mineral, density factors into a healthy spine. If you’re interested in keeping your bones heathy and learning about preventative measaures, this is an episode for you.

Masters athlete, avid chef and tech investor, our guest Vineet Buch is obsessed with being fit. Vineet is a long distance runner, kayaker and cyclist and when he was introduced to the Contrology system a few months ago, it was a game changer! Like a moth to light, Vineet already has integrated this Method into his training program. And, it didn’t take many lessons for him to understand the immensity of what it means to be not just fit, but Pilates fit. And as he recently stated, “I should have done this thirty years ago.”
