How to Know When It’s Time to Pivot: Lessons From Our Crisis and Studio’s Relaunch

A framework for teachers and studio owners to reassess, realign, and rebuild with clarity.

Every movement professional reaches a moment when something feels “off.”
Sometimes it’s a quiet resistance. Sometimes it’s a deep fatigue. A crisis. And sometimes, it arrives all at once.

In this relaunch episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah shares why she and Christian paused, reassessed, and began reshaping their work and lives after years of building a studio, a team, and an online platform — while slowly losing themselves in the process.

This episode isn’t about dramatic reinvention.
It’s about noticing earlier, listening more closely, and making thoughtful changes before burnout decides for you.

We explore why regular check-ins matter, how misalignment often hides in plain sight, and what it looks like to take responsibility for the systems we create — personally, professionally, and as leaders in the movement industry.

This conversation sets the tone for the next chapter of The Pilates Exchange: one rooted in sustainability, clarity, and honest reflection.

In the next episode, Christian and Hannah share the full story of the pivot that reshaped everything.
