In our inaugural podcast we thought it appropriate to introduce ourselves, the founders of The Pilates League.In this episode Rach, Isaac and Tim discuss how they each came to the pilates industry, their respective experience, and what they have planned for The Pilates League.Rach & Isaac have had 15 and 11 years experience respectively in the industry and known each other for 10 years.  In a strange co-incidence, and unknown to each other, they both independently started their own training company in the same month two years ago from observations of gaps in Instructor knowledge. In this episode they discuss their observations of current Instructor training providers and the opportunity they saw to create an Instructor training course (mat & reformer) which addresses the identified gaps and produces 'studio ready' graduates. The Pilates League has ambitious plans to deliver a range of services to the industry and also be a conduit to bring the pilates community together, share information, develop relationships and collectively raise participants skills throughout the industry, this Podcast is just one example of what we are intending and we look forward to sharing more with you in the future.If you would like us to speak about a particular topic, a special guest you have always wanted to hear from, or a question you'd like us to address reach out to us at any of the following: Website:      https://www.thepilatesleague.com.auInstagram   https://instragram.com/the_pilates_leagueEmail:            support@thepilatesleague.com.au
