In this episode we discuss bringing elements of fun into the process of making big changes and Jenna shares an "otherworldly" experience of channelling a message from Joseph Pilates through song (of course.) Our listener's are reminded that Pilates teachers are always watching - even in the drive-thru at Starbucks - and the conversation between Jenna and guests Sunni Almond and Tracy Maurstad look at the challenges, benefits and passion that they've received from returning to the classical work of the Pilates method by "Going More Joe."

This week we explore how to take Pilates from being our clients' weekly "pit stop" to becoming their dedicated practice by upping the perceived value of the time spent in the studio. Jenna shares another original about "the client who got away," and we go deep into a hip hinge intervention with our guest Rebekah Rotstein. We'll learn about Buff Bones, building online content, transitioning your teaching to the next level and the future of research in the Pilates Industry.

This week we hear about the phenomenon (that Jenna made up) called Identity Amnesia and a call to action for the #ihavesomethingtosay.

It's our third season and we couldn't be more thrilled to kick it off with gratitude!! Jenna announces a special edition of The Pilates Love Movement, gives some much needed industry support shout outs and introduces listeners to an "unfiltered" Blossom Leilani Crawford. The duo talk about history, running studios, being mothers, major teaching fails and even how they had exercises named after them (thankfully, Jenna's didn't stick!) It's a great kick off to a great season! Referenced: The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal. Thanks to our sponsors: Pilates Anytime, Pilates Education Institute, McEntire Pilates.
