This week we’re joined by Laura Gunder, a classical Pilates teacher, ex-professional ballet dancer, and the creator of The Emergence Podcast. Laura shares her story: her career as a ballerina, the identity transformation upon leaving the ballet world, and how she found a new relationship with her body and movement in the fitness world. She also sheds light on the difference between Classical and contemporary Pilates, gives her thoughts on the explosion of franchised Pilates studios in the last decade, and offers concrete advice for anyone new to the fitness industry. 

This episode is for former dancers, early-stage fitness professionals in need of lifestyle tips, those who owns their own business in NYC, and anyone inspired by systematic, formal movement styles <3
