EP 37 ­ What is this experience we call Pilates? (Interview with Nathan Gardner)

In today´s episode Matt speaks to Nathan Gardner. Nathan has been in the movement/fitness space for 35 years. He is a former international skier and has been a Pilates educator for 20 years. The pair discuss what they feel Pilates is and, perhaps more importantly, how to manage client expectations to produce the best possible outcome and experience for that client. The conversation covers the many different approaches used by the modern Pilates teacher and the importance of staying open minded to new approaches and accepting that different paths can achieve the same result. The discussion also touches on the camps that have appeared within the Pilates community, particularly online and how labelling stuff right and wrong can be confusing for teachers and students alike (let’s all play nicely together).The conversation finishes with Nathan describing the L4 courses he has written and delivers for Bodycontrol Pilates and how this knowledge can be used to enhance the amazing job Pilates teachers are doing all over the globe.  If you are interested in Nathan’s courses or want to reach out, details below: KineticNRG Movement Teaching AcademyPhone: +44 (0) 7710485132Email: [email protected]  Website: kinetic-nrg.comFacebook Page: facebook.com/KineticNRG.ukInstagram:  @kineticnrg.uk NRG PilatesPhone: +44 (0) 7710485132Email: [email protected]: nrgpilates.comFacebook Page: facebook.com/nrgpilates.co.ukInstagram: @nrgpilates
