July 17, 2020 Is Pilates Yoga?
This week we explore the similarities and difference between Pilates and yoga. Pilates is compared to yoga more than any other form of exercise, so I take a critical look at the principles of Pilates, the eight limbs of yoga, classical mat Pilates, and the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series to formulate my answer to the question: Is Pilates yoga?

July 10, 2020 Studio Etiquette
Whether it's your first time in the studio ever or you're a long-time studio member, here are to tips to help you be considerate and be prepared for your class. From last minute cancellations to what to wear, this episode has you covered!

Follow the podcast on Instagram @pilatesstudentsmanual and on the web here: https://bit.ly/PilatesStudentsManual for the latest!

Email [email protected] with your feedback.

Notes:

Calling the studio is really only necessary for last minute cancellations for group classes. You should give your teacher as much notice as possible for private session cancellations.

When a teacher cues to do what feels right in your body, it usually means that you can work in a smaller range of movement, or try a modification. It isn't a cue for exploring advanced progressions.

June 26, 2020 What is the Core?
The "core" is a buzzword in Pilates and the fitness industry, but what is it? Explore the multiple definitions, muscles, and functions of the core in Pilates and beyond!

Notes:

Check out Pilates Anatomy by Rael Isacowitz and Karen Clippinger here: *https://bit.ly/RaelPilatesAnatomy*

I misspoke in this episode. I defined ASIS as anterior superior illiac crest, when it is actually the anterior superior iliac spine, which fits the acronym. I was clearly very excited about the core.

June 19, 2020 What is the History of Pilates?
Where did Pilates come from? Olivia takes a deep dive into the history of Pilates, sharing some stories and myths about Joseph Pilates, the history of Pilates in the United States, and why it matters. If you love Pilates history, you can also check out the companion episode from the teacher perspective on Pilates Teachers' Manual here: *http://bit.ly/pilatesteachersmanual*

Some resources that Olivia used to create this episode are:

Your Health by Joseph Pilates: *https://bit.ly/YourHealthPilates*

Return to Life through Contrology by Joseph Pilates: *https://bit.ly/JoeReturntoLife*

Sports Illustrated article from October 4, 1961 A Day with Joseph Pilates: *https://bit.ly/aDayWithJoe*

Sports Illustrated article from February 12, 1962 Act Like an Animal: *https://bit.ly/ActLikeAnAnimal*

Clara's Obituary in the NY Times: *https://bit.ly/ClaraObit*

Joe's obituary was also in the NY Times, but I could only find an image of it on Pinterest....He was listed as a body builder, and "a white-maned lion of a man, with steel-blue eyes and mahogany skin, Mr Pilates kept as limber in his 80s as a teenager." *https://bit.ly/JoeObit*

The Pilates Lawsuit: *https://bit.ly/PilatesLawsuit*

Interview with Ken Endelman on Pilates Anytime: *https://bit.ly/paDiscussion*

There is a biography of Joseph Pilates that just came out, but it's only in German. I can't wait for the English translation!
