The Pilates Goddess Podcast

I'm super excited about this episode, my friends! My friend Angie Garton is one of the UK's most sought-after menopause coaches, and I love her compassionate, science-based approach to helping women through the transition.

I've been in menopause since a total hysterectomy about 25 years ago, and stopped taking any HRT in 2016, so this conversation is right up my alley! We talk night sweats, hot flashes, inflammation, HRT, supplements, weight gain, and the role of nutrition and exercise.

Listeners can schedule a free 20 minute consultation with Angie (completely confidential), to provide some quick and effective advice on common issues such as low energy, sleep issues, emotional issues, low motivation, weight gain.

About Angie:
Angie Garton provides menopause coaching to individuals and groups, and menopause consultation services to businesses and organisations, so that you can feel more like yourself again.

Her drive and enthusiasm come from wanting to provide real support, not just information. Having been part of the increasing awareness around menopause in the last ten years, she has seen a real need for us all to feel more hopeful and less fearful about the menopause transition.

Angie helps you to feel more confident and reassured in your approach to menopause, even if you're feeling stuck and overwhelmed right now.

My first Pilates teacher, Steve Giordano, used to always say, "When in doubt, leave it out," and I have used this in my Pilates teaching and in my own movements ever since. Frankly, when I ignore this advice, I tend to hurt myself.

If you have clients with chronic pain who hate certain exercises because the movements make them hurt more, I invite you consider leaving out those exercises.

If you have pain that is worse in your own body during or after certain movements (not just soreness), I invite you to feel free to skip those movements.

In today's solo episode, I delve into the question of what Pilates actually is, and what it can do for your body.

I discuss my story of becoming a Pilates teacher, some of Joseph Pilates' story of developing the method, and what the Pilates system was designed to accomplish.

Whether you teach Pilates or are a Pilates client (or both), you'll learn something new about the method and your practice.

Short and sweet today! A colleague of mine asked a question in a Pilates teacher's forum -

"What are your tricks for lengthening out a spasming low back? Sometimes I’ll have a client come to their lesson with a low back spasm - I’m talking about a fit client who I know well - no referred pain. They may have been in the car too long or been gardening, etc."

This is my answer!

If you have a spine, and especially if you have back pain or teach Pilates or any movement to clients with back pain and spine pathologies, this episode is for you!

Today's guest is the fabulous Gwen Miller, author of the upcoming book, Safe Movement for All Spines - A Guide to Spinal Anatomy and How to Work with 21 Spine and Hip Conditions, and creator of The Dynamic Spine, a continuing education course for Pilates, yoga, and fitness professionals.

Gwen and I talk all things spine. We address the dangers of keeping the spine static and "neutral", discuss the importance of recognizing that every spine is different, and talk about how to allow every person to move in safe and supportive ways.

Listeners save 25%  on The Dynamic Spine enrollment using the code PilatesGoddess:

About Gwen:
Gwen Miller is a certified Pilates teacher with over 20 years of experience, a registered yoga therapist, and a Hendrickson Method manual therapist.

After losing 80 pounds and rediscovering her health, Gwen Miller discovered that she had “degenerative disc disease” and “degenerative joint disease.” She was only forty!
 
Unfortunately, due to her prior obesity and poor posture, the discs between her spinal vertebrae had become compressed and worn thin, and this caused excessive wear-and-tear of Gwen's spinal vertebrae. It was shocking news. She had to change everything she was doing or my discs and spine would continue to degenerate.

That was when Gwen discovered Pilates. At first, it was just another certification to add to her ever-growing list of qualifications, but when she found that it was a system of exercise that she could do even with her degenerated spine, Gwen fell in love. So much so that twenty years later she's a Master Instructor for Balanced Body Pilates, an international Pilates education company.

Gwen has a reputation as a teacher who helps people, working with those who have spinal pathologies and other joint issues, or are healing from injuries or surgeries.

Did you know that there really is an order to the Pilates exercises? And that knowing the order will make structuring a workout so much easier, whether it's for yourself or a client?

Today I deep dive into the order and why it exists. I talk about why some teachers and clients don't know the order, and how this makes it more difficult to put together a flowing workout with appropriate modifications and variations.
