    Show Notes:

    I was really inspired to wrestle with the Pilates teacher assumptions shared by the podcast Pilates Elephants episode 29. Scapular Stability. That episode dives even deeper into the complexity of the shoulder and place in Pilates. Check it out here.

    Check out @ze_moves on Instagram. They're really awesome.
