The Pilates Diaries Podcast

Welcome to the Pilates Diaries Podcast.Jan McGrath came to Pilates more than 18 years ago with a story many listeners will recognise: chronic neck, shoulder and low back pain, and weekly chiropractic visits that never brought it to an end. Today she's a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT) with an MBA, and the creator of NeuroPower Pilates® in Rapid City, South Dakota, a brain-body method that pairs Pilates-based movement with neurocentric training.Before Pilates, Jan spent 20 years training as an athlete in Muay Thai, distance running, tennis, squash, weights and CrossFit, until injuries and surgeries stalled her progress. Pilates was suggested as a last resort, and she hasn't looked back. Trained through the Pilates Instructor Academy with her mentor Amanda Iiams, she now works with clients from clinical rehabilitation through to athletic performance, through a neurological lens.Find Jan McGrath and NeuroPower Pilates®neuropowerpilates.comTimestamps00:00 Acknowledgement of Country00:15 Welcome to The Pilates Diaries00:37 Meet Jan McGrath25:21 A word about Trimio26:05 How Jan first arrived at Pilates51:24 Thank you, JanA word about Trimio, my own startup, so you know where I standRun a studio with downtime in the timetable? trimio.app/hostTeach, and want more hours in your week? trimio.app/offerWant your teacher closer to home? trimio.appThe Pilates Diaries lives at thepilatesdiariespodcast.comHosted by Bruce Hildebrand.
