Today's episode looks at the foundation of Pilates: introducing clients to the equipment, to basic exercises, to shapes of the spine, and the language of Pilates.

We explore strategies to keep the fundamentals fresh for your clients and for yourself, like looking at Pilates like a beginner, making non-negotiable time for yourself to do Pilates and take classes, trying little twists on familiar exercises, and changing up the order of exercises to find fun in the Pilates basics.
