Richard Brown ~ Pilates in China

Send us a textBy now, most of you’ve heard of Contrology, the name Joe Pilates gave his exercise system, but have you ever heard of Pauseology? In this episode, Pilates studio owner, Sandra Schonrock, our guest who lives in New Zealand was having a rough time during menopause and while researching ways to help ease her discomfort she realized that if she was receiving conflicting information, other women were too, and an idea was born. Her studio, Contrology New Zealand Authentic Pilates, is attracting many women seeking ways including exercise to ease the challenges that menopause brings. But Contrology is just a part of the Pauseology brand and Sandra has been on a mission to introduce her students to the best health products and medicines New Zealand has to offer to help mitgate menstrual symptoms. Although Pauseology is designed for women, it can also impact men as they see their wives, daughters, sisters or mothers suffering. Support the showAbout Darien ~ About Darien Gold ~ https://www.dariengold.com, https://www.allthingspilatespodcast.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/darien_gold_pilates_expert, https://www.instagram.com/allthingspilatespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dariengoldMusic credits ~ Instagram: @theotherjohnmayer About Sandra Schonrock ~ https://www.pauseology.co.nz/Support the show

Send us a textSupport the showOur guest is Jillian Hessel, a Second Generation Pilates teacher who has had the great privilege of learning from many of Joe Pilates’ students, including Kathy Grant and Carola Trier - both became Jillian's mentors, and a very soulful bond developed between Jillian and another JP student, Ron Fletcher. Jillian refers to herself as a teacher of hybrid movement modalities and incorporates ballet, Iyengar yoga and the different approaches of Contrology in to her teaching. Her diligence in caring for the Pilates legacy she so generously was given, makes her an extremely valuable addition to the Pilates community. I’ve asked Jillian to let us in on her thoughts about forty-three years of sharing her life’s work. About Darien ~ About Darien Gold ~ https://www.dariengold.com, https://www.allthingspilatespodcast.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/darien_gold_pilates_expert, https://www.instagram.com/allthingspilatespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dariengoldMusic credits ~ Instagram: @theotherjohnmayer About Jillian Hessel ~ https://jillianhessel.com/Support the show

Send us a textOur guest today Shelly Knight-Jones, creator of the Knight Technique and Pilates Barre workouts has been through an experience none of us would wish on any woman. In 2022, Shelly was diagnosed with DCIS Stage zero breast cancer and thinking it not such a big deal, went on with her life. But Shelly learned soon after her diagnosis that she needed a lumpectomy. During the procedure, they discovered the pea sized lump was larger than anticipated and when the pathology report revealed non-clean margins, with the advice of her doctor, she made the decision to have a double mastectomy. Today, Shelly is 2 years clean and thankfully, she’s healed remarkably well. Though still passionate about Pilates and her other fitness endeavors, Shelly’s approach to teaching has changed.Support the showAbout Darien Gold ~ https://www.dariengold.com, https://www.allthingspilatespodcast.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/darien_gold_pilates_expert, https://www.instagram.com/allthingspilatespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dariengoldMusic credits ~ Instagram: @theotherjohnmayer About Shelly Knight-Jones ~ https://www.theknighttechnique.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/knightshelly, Facebook: https://www.fabcbook.com/TheKnightTechniqueSupport the show
