When movement slips away, so does freedom. For Kerry Whitaker, living with a connective tissue disorder could have meant just that... limitations, setbacks, and a shrinking world. But Pilates gave her another path. 

In Series 11 of The Pilates Business Podcast: episode 2, Pilates Can Change Lives, Kerry shares how clinical Pilates became the key to strength, resilience, and everyday independence at 72. From line dancing and beach walks to recovering after injury, her story is proof that Pilates isn’t measured by the exercise itself, but by what it makes possible. 

Whether you’re a Pilates studio owner, instructor, or simply someone curious about how Pilates transforms lives—you’ll find Kerry’s story both inspiring and instructive.

• The power of Pilates in recovery after injury or when living with conditions. 
• Why Pilates is less about reps and springs, and more about what it enables beyond the studio.
