In this week’s episode, Nic is joined by Dinah Siman, founder of Menopause Pilates, author, educator and a powerful advocate for women’s health.Dinah opens up about the real experience of perimenopause, the chronic pain that nearly ended her teaching career, and the frustrating lack of education she encountered, even as a movement professional.They explore why Pilates teachers are uniquely positioned to support women through midlife, how to recognise the overlooked symptoms of menopause in your clients, and what movement and teaching adaptations actually help.This is a must listen for anyone working with women in their thirties or forties, or navigating their own changing body and seeking some support.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Dinah01:13 Dinah’s journey into Pilates04:36 Teaching elite athletes and opening her own studio09:15 Developing a niche within Menopause Pilates14:31 Personal experiences with menopause27:31 The importance of understanding menopause in Pilates31:14 Creating a supportive environment for menopausal clients35:41 Building an authentic brand on Instagram39:59 Writing the book from idea to publication41:45 Course structure and teaching philosophy43:08 Sharing her course globally45:58 Advice for teachers wanting to create niche content51:30 The future of Pilates education01:03:24 Quick fire questionsWhat an incredible conversation!If you enjoyed it, as always, please subscribe and rate the show five stars.
