Pilates Unfiltered

We continue with the recording from our LIVE event in New Jersey this week. In this episode, we hear from the audience members, both teachers and enthusiasts, and even some former guests! We're joined by longtime podcast sponsor and friend, Ellen Atkins to hear her story of how she brought her business, "The Suburban Monk" to life. We also discuss the spirit aspect of the mind/body/spirit trifecta with former guest, Raven Marderosian of Shivaya Wellness. In the second part of the episode, we get honest with the members of the audience about the "Pilates into life" lessons we teach, what we fear in teaching, and what we wish people understood more about Pilates. It's a rich discussion that will surely have you nodding your head in agreement as you listen.

In Episode 87, we dive deep into the subject matter of our relationship with ourselves - in movement, in teaching, and in life with Wendy LeBlanc-Arbuckle. It's one that you will want to get the pen and paper out for and possibly the tissues, too. Wendy is an international leader in embodied movement. Her "movement pedigree" includes working with top leaders in both the Pilates realm as well as somatics and structural integration. The culmination of this rich background of work is a tapestry of truth in movement that is informed through curiosity, play, listening and of course, moving the body! In this episode, Jenna was fortunate enough to not only receive the gift of a conversation through the interview but also a full life treatment in the best of ways!

This episode has been a long time coming. Chantill Lopez is a movement explorer, educator, and mentor and has made a 20-year career teaching Pilates; it still makes her smile. Her work focuses on teaching from the whole-person and whole-body perspective, drawing from brain-based learning frameworks, motivation and communication science, somatic and humanistic psychology, and other emerging models such as the polyvagal theory. She is the founder of the education company, Skillful Teaching, the creator of the Thinking Pilates Podcast and author of the book "Moving Beyond Technique". She is also the creator of one of Pilates Metrics' original movement libraries and a featured presenter for Fusion Pilates EDU. In this rich conversation, we strip away the layers to discover what really needs to happen in order for us to create a teaching scenario where our students embody autonomy, choice, and empowerment. HINT: It starts with YOU! If you've ever wondered about the next steps for your teaching practice, whether teaching was for you in the long term or how you might help your clients gain more responsibility for their practice, this conversation goes there and then some. This is one of those conversations where you'll be nodding along - even if you haven't considered making a shift in your teaching or career yet. A true GEM!

Please excuse the overuse of the phrase "guys" - I've since shifted much of my language to be more inclusive. SO much has changed, and yet, I still enjoy a good musical parody. Enjoy a flashback to my musical stylings and just picture me blushing furiously as I listen to the playback of this episode. We'll be back on track with an all-new episode next week!

TRIGGER WARNING: The subjects of menstrual cycles, infertility, pregnancy, childbirth and hysterectomy are discussed in this episode. Jenna drops in for a bonus episode to share the story of her recent surgery. After a long battle with infertility, resulting in the birth of her son via emergency c-section, Jenna found pain to be riding side-car to her life. Thinking this was her "cross to bear" she sought out to manage pain through Pilates, bodywork and meditative practices. It was a serendipitous series of events that led her into a surgeon's office to find out that there was, in fact, something wrong that was causing this pain. The end result was a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
