Your daughter has cancer. Can there be four words more frightening for a parent to hear? Our guest today is Colleen Cappiello, a Pilates studio owner who has found herself juggling the running of her studio and being her daughter’s fiercest advocate as her daughter recovers from cancer. When we have outside challenges that impact our ability to run our studios, where or who do we turn to? I’ll be discussing this question with Colleen as well as how this event has impacted her Pilates business

In the early 1960’s, Joseph and Clara Pilates welcomed an assistant named, Lawrence Hayward into their lives.  Lawrence spent so much time with Joe and Clara, documenting Joe’s work that he eventually moved in with them, spending a great deal of time in the Contrology studio. On this first episode of Season 6, we’ll hear new compelling information about Joe’s Contrology system that will make us scratch our heads and think, there’s way more to this Contrology story than most of us have been told. Lawerence himself can’t be here to talk about this part of the Contrology story and so, I’ve asked Dale Matzkow who was a student and close friend of Lawrence’s to share with us his story.

As we close Season 5, it's only fitting that we end with the student who studied with Joe Pilates the longest, Anna Shaffer. As Anna says, proper posture or “proper body alignment” as Joe reminded her throughout her studies, gives you confidence and elegance both physically and psychologically.  Anna shares more memories of her time with Joe Pilates.

This is a beautiful account of how Joe’s work has helped to heal the body, mind and soul. Today’s episode is a touching one. It involves the church, the prison system and a woman who took her own suffering and discovered how the power of Pilates could save her and others. My guest is Paula M, a new Pilates teacher who offers classes for church members and at a women’s local detention center. Paula refers to these classes as her Pilates ministry and her goal is to bring out the beauty in the broken. What a full circle of Joe’s life. He developed his method while incarcerated and all of these decades later, his work has returned to those who need it the most.

Have you heard of a Method called ELDOA? This modality was created by world-renowned osteopath, Guy Voyer who designed it to help bring the body into balance and to heal the spine. Our guest today, Sarah King is a Pilates teacher who teaches Guy Voyer's work  to classical Pilates teachers in Berlin, Germany. Sarah has a manual therapy background so it’s no wonder she was drawn to another type of modality that has hints of yoga but also offers it within an osteopathic framework.

Every Monday morning while having my coffee in bed, I log on to my Youtube account and listen and watch Gil Hedley and his Monday morning anatomy offering. Two human forms he respectfully refers to as Anna and Zee, help him share his vast anatomy knowledge. So whether it’s a joint in the body, the heart and lung relationship or the nervous system, Gil’s compassion, wisdom and humor fills my morning. In case you haven’t heard of my guest, Gil Hedley - he is the creator of Integral Anatomy, an online educational platform. For the last 29 years through Hands-On Human Dissection Workshops in the laboratory, worldwide lecture presentations, and online events, Gil has encouraged thousands of fellow "somanauts" to appreciate, explore, and embody the wonders of the human form.

Jen Murphy, our guest today writes for the Wall Street Journal and has two columns: What's Your Workout and Anatomy of a Workout. Recently, Jen wrote the WSJ article, Men Suddenly Feel the Pull of Pilates, helping to further promote the reality that the Pilates Method is for every Body. Jen has interviewed public figures from Sarah Palin and the Rev. Al Sharpton to Drew Brees and Lester Holt on their fitness habits. I wanted you, my listeners, to hear Jen’s thoughts on why she thinks it’s taken men so long to embrace Joe’s Method.

There has been a flurry of published Pilates manuals coming out of Germany, and more specifically, authored by a Pilates instructor named Reiner Grootenhuis. As a Pilates studio owner, Reiner recognized a need to document Joe’s method in all of its heritage. Reiner has published a number of books, including the well received biography on Carola Trier, one of Joe’s most talented students.
