110. Why Pilates Could Change Your Life for the Better (WE LAUNCHED IT INSIDE OUR APP!) with Jacquelyn Brennan

Krystle takes the mic solo to share big news: Pilates is officially coming to the Expecting and Empowered workout app! Joined by a familiar face to the Expecting and Empowered community, Jacquelyn Brennan, this episode gives listeners an inside look at her history with Pilates and how her version will be such a huge asset to the app. Krystle and Jacquelyn dive into Jacquelyn’s journey to Pilates and why she believes it is such a powerful tool for women, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. Jacquelyn shares how Pilates supports awareness, control, and connection — helping women build strength safely and intentionally through every stage of motherhood. Even if you don’t have the time to dedicate a full hour to your movement, just as you would do your morning routine of supplements and coffee, supplementing your movement with 10-15 min of Pilates and breathwork is enough to make an impact! The conversation also touches on current fitness trends seen on social media, including heavy weightlifting, and how these approaches can work in harmony together to promote stability, mobility, and long-term health. Jacquelyn emphasizes that her version of Pilates is about setting a strong foundation, moving mindfully, and progressing gradually without pain or compensatory patterns. Amy, Krystle, and Jacquelyn are excited for the growth of the Expecting and Empowered app and invite you to share with other mommas who are looking for a supportive and empowering way to move their bodies!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @jacquelyn_brennan, and @expectingandempowered.
