Description
The Pilates Exchange is a podcast for movement teachers and studio owners who want to build sustainable, thoughtful careers in the wellness industry.
Through honest conversations, solo reflections, and expert interviews, we explore teaching, leadership, business, and the human side of movement—grounded in evidence-based practice and real-world experience. We talk about what’s working, what’s broken, and what needs to change in Pilates and fitness, without hype or dogma.
This podcast is a space to think more deeply, ask better questions, and grow with intention—so we can support our clients, our communities, and ourselves for the long term.
Exchanging ideas and changing lives, one session at a time.

Send us Fan Mail What Does Progression Actually Mean in Pilates? We talk about progression constantly in Pilates. We progress an exercise, progress a client, add a spring, change the leverage, increase the challenge or move someone into a more advanced class. But are we always talking about the same thing? In this solo episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah separates two ideas that often get mixed together: progressive overload as a principle of exercise science and progression as part of b...
Send us Fan Mail Do Your Clients Know the Names of the Exercises? Mermaid. Teaser. Elephant. Short Spine. We use exercise names every day as Pilates teachers, but how much do those names actually matter to the people we're teaching? In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah and Christian look at something that seems incredibly simple: naming the exercises we teach. What starts as a conversation about terminology quickly becomes a much bigger discussion about communication, learning, co...
