"Who belongs in Pilates? The short answer: EVERYONE. In this episode, we address a viral social media video and body-shaming trend that claims certain body sizes don't belong in Pilates studios—or teaching Pilates.

I break down why this harmful narrative is wrong, share the true origins of Pilates, and explain how this practice was designed for all bodies—not just one type.

We'll also talk about how to stay focused on your own fitness journey, why belief in yourself matters more than a number on the scale, and how Breathwork can help you pause before reacting to triggers online and in real life. If you've ever felt excluded from a workout space, this episode is for you."

Ep 41. Movement as Medicine — How Pilates, Breathwork & Dance Help Women Heal from the Inside Out

In this episode of Burpees for Breakfast, I'm sharing my personal journey to becoming a certified mat Pilates instructor—and how movement became a powerful tool for emotional healing.

If traditional talk therapy has left you feeling stuck, this episode is for you. If you're curious if Pilates has any real benefits, I'm diving into how women can release pent-up emotions, stored trauma, and daily stress through intentional movement. From breathwork in deep stretches like pigeon pose to tapping into energy centers like the sacral chakra, you'll learn how your body holds wisdom and how to listen.

We also explore the healing power of dance and intuitive movement as a way to reconnect with yourself and your body. Movement isn't just about aesthetics—it's about transformation, release, and reclaiming your power.

Special Guest Spotlight: Marissa Rivera Professional dancer and choreographer, joins us to share how Pilates has supported her physically in the dance world. She unpacks how small, intentional movements can build real strength, deepen body awareness, and shift how you move through life—on and off the mat.

Whether you're new to Pilates or deep in your wellness journey, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to move with purpose.
