In my quest to support Pilates teachers (and clients) from all lineages, I've come up with some simple ways to help everyone organize Pilates exercises so that both teaching and learning are easier. Mnemonic devices (like "i before e, except after c") are what I use. In this episode I explain what they are and how to use them to make your life easier.

I keep reading more and more accounts of people being injured in larger mixed-level Pilates classes, especially on the reformer. This increase is due to a number of factors, including owners who don't know Pilates and think cheapest apparatus is best, teachers who are rushed through training, and the divisiveness in the Pilates world, which makes continuing education difficult. Here I talk about some easy ways to appropriately choose exercises, as well as what NOT to do. Find me: Website - https...

Somehow every workout class today is selling itself as blended - HIIT cardio, strength training, and mobility work all in one. Unfortunately, this approach waters down the effectiveness of each class of work, and is unsustainable. If you exercise daily, as many of the people who attend my Pilates classes do, please separate your workouts. I promise that yu'll feel a difference in all the best ways.
