A Client's Unfiltered Take on What Pilates Really Does with Charan Bhattal

I've been coaching instructors and movement professionals for years, so I thought it was time to flip the script and bring on someone who experiences Pilates from the other side — as a client. In this episode, I'm joined by one of my absolute favourite people to work with, Charan Bhattal. In this episode, we talk about: Why Charan came back to Pilates after completing teacher training — and never using it The moment she realized she couldn't (and didn't want to) practice alone How Pilates has transformed her tennis game, her yoga practice, and the way she simply walks through a city The difference between pushing through pain and truly listening to your body Why I believe the "no pain, no gain" mentality is one of the most damaging things we were ever taught What Charan looks for when she walks into a Pilates studio on the road — and what she refuses to do in a class, even when everyone around her is doing it Her biggest physical transformation (hint: it involves her core, her glutes, and yes — new jeans) Why I think the patient is always the smartest person in the room ~ Connect With Charan ~ Website - graceandgoode.com ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca
