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.

Living in Florida where there are many retirees, Gail Forrester our guest today and owner of Ulta Pilates & Well-being, emphasizes the benefits of Pilates for an older population. Gail herself knows from personal experience how Pilates can help in the healing process and in particular the traditional Method. A survivor and thriver of a mastectomy has only made her stronger and more resolute. She shares this philosophy and reminds them that Pilates brings healing, strength, and vitality — even into our 90s. And under Gail's leadership, they are thriving, too.

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.

Our guest is Jillian Hessel, a Second Generation Pilates teacher who has had the great privilege of learning from many of Joe Pilates’ students, including Kathy Grant and Carola Trier - both became Jillian's mentors, and a very soulful bond developed between Jillian and another JP student, Ron Fletcher. Jillian refers to herself as a teacher of hybrid movement modalities and incorporates ballet, Iyengar yoga and the different approaches of Contrology in to her teaching. Her diligence in caring for the Pilates legacy she so generously was given, makes her an extremely valuable addition to the Pilates community. I’ve asked Jillian to let us in on her thoughts about forty-three years of sharing her life’s work.

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.
