You've probably heard the phrase "muscle confusion" and wondered what that meant. I mean, do muscles really get confused? Some repetition is necessary in any exercise program, so that you can see and monitor your progress, especially if you're trying to strengthen your bones and muscles for the long term.…

Women of a certain age hear a lot about doing weight bearing exercise for bone strength. But, I've had clients who thought that doing rolling like a ball counted as weight bearing on the spine (a contra-indicated exercise)! Once you understand weight bearing, you'll have a better idea of what…

You may wonder whether online Pilates instruction really works. Can we really see you well? Can we effectively cue you? I'm a convert, and now I only teach online. It works so well, and allows me to reach people all over the world. In my Pilates with weights class on…

Many women are sent to, or drawn to, Pilates teachers for help with osteoporosis. Modified Pilates is perfectly safe, and extraordinarily helpful, for clients with osteoporosis. Unmodified Pilates, however, can hurt you for the long term. I've worked with clients who crush fractured a vertebrae doing unmodified Pilates in a…

Bone strength is so important, and we hear so many mixed messages on how to gain and maintain bone strength. Just today on social media I heard about collagen supplements, coral calcium, magnesium, dairy, and drugs like Prolia. Fortunately, no matter what else you decide to do, there is one…

When I started teaching Pilates in 1989, I worked in a sports medicine podiatrist's office, and I was immediately faced with clients in chronic pain. Years later, I know that while all Pilates programs talk about the basics of handing weak bones and chronic pain, you don't get a good…

I'm tired of the Classical/Contemporary Pilates debate. How about you? There are so many myths and misconceptions out there! I just want to empower Pilates teachers of every background to teach in a way that respects anatomy and science, that respects the body of Joseph Pilates' work, and that leads…

If you have questions about neutral spine, welcome to the club! In my opinion, neutral spine is not a useful concept. Neutral pelvis is useful and definable. But everyone's spine curve is different! Plus, our spines move every time we breathe, which is constantly. We'll be discussing this and much…

If you teach Pilates, chances are you didn't learn too much about osteoporosis in your training, and may not even know that there is a difference between loaded and unloaded flexion. Loaded flexion is contra-indicated for low bone density, but unloaded flexion allows your clients to enjoy that feeling without…

Microdosing psychedelics for improved mental health and performance has been in the news a lot lately! My guest Alison Crothswait knows all about it, and I can't wait to pick her brain about how guided microdosing can help us shift and change. After 15 years as a trader and researcher…

If your video on demand & live session hosting service just closed (Talent Hack is the most recent), you're probably looking at alternatives. Yondo is really the best, and they make things super easy. And, frankly, they have a good revenue model! I'm in the process of migrating my on…

If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, you may believe that spine crush fractures are rare. Unfortunately, they are quite common! One of my Strong Bones clients told me that she had no idea she could break her back by lifting something heavy, until she did. In Strong Bones…

So many of us believe that once we have osteoporosis, we can never round our spines again. Nope! While loaded forward flexion (spine rounding) isn't great for those with osteoporosis, unloaded flexion is perfectly fine! In Strong Bones Pilates, I teach my clients where rounding is safe, and we take…

Pilates involves a lot of loaded spine flexion, which isn't great for those with low bone density. So, many women believe that it's just not the best exercise choice. Not true! It's super easy to modify almost any exercise routine to be safe and effective for folks with osteoporosis or…

Many of my clients have been fearful about starting bone strengthening exercise, because they've heard that you must do high impact exercise. Not true! My clients get stronger bones and muscles through low impact, targeted exercise, just 45 minutes 3 days per week. And, we enjoy ourselves! Want to know…

So many women I hear from believe that once they have an osteoporosis diagnosis, there's not much they can do. Wrong! Starting bone strengthening exercise, proper hydration, and watching nutrition can make a huge difference, and many of my Strong Bones Pilates clients have improved their numbers. Free info, workouts,…

If you're like most Pilates teachers, online or in studio, you struggle with automation.

Today I'm talking with…
