Incredibly insightful

Incredibly insightful podcast! Love listening to this to improve my own practice and my teaching

Improve your Pilates practice by listening to these episodes

I have learned so much by listening to Olivia’s podcasts (both this one and teacher manual too). Olivia is so clear in the way she explains things and gives me so many things to think about and try in my next class to improve my form or practice. I’m lucky enough to have also taken class with Olivia at Club Pilates and I’ve never met a funnier and more entertaining teacher. She’s the full package!

This is a must listen

So glad to have found this podcast. I have gained so much knowledge and a better understanding of why we are doing what we do in class. They are informative and fun to listen to. Please keep them coming!

Fantastic!

Been doing Pilates for 3 years and love it,But never took the time to understand why or what I was actually doing. This podcast is amazing. Now I get it! I just discovered it a day or two ago and I’m almost finished listening to it. Highly recommend!
