Episode Synopsis

Is it really Pilates… or just movement that looks like it?In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack the difference between practicing Pilates as a method versus using it as a vibe and why that distinction matters more than you might think. I talk about the roots of the method, the myths that get repeated without context, and the questions I wish more teachers (and clients) would ask themselves.You’ll hear:✅ Why classical Pilates still matters (even if you love a good remix)✅ How progressive overload can exist in Pilates—and what it actually looks like ✅ Why cueing “alignment” might be getting in the way of real learningPlus, you’ll hear me talk about tremors, sensory integration, and how your cerebellum might be the most underrated teacher in the room.If you love Pilates, teach it, or just want to understand what it’s doing for your body, this episode is your invitation to dig deeper, question more, and explore both the method and the movement.Resources mentioned:Episode 11: Pilates vs Weight TrainingEpisode 14: Communication, Huh?Connect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads
