Lisa B on how Pilates became a real career path for teachers

In today’s episode of Scaling Wellness, I’m joined by someone many of you will already know (and adore!)… the incredible Lisa Bradshaw - aka Lisa B Pilates.Lisa has been in the Pilates world for 30 years and is one of the most respected teacher-trainers in the industry. She runs her own academy, specialises in continuing education, and has taught everyone from brand-new teachers to fully fledged educators looking to deepen their craft.And today… we’re having a real, honest conversation about what’s happening inside the Pilates industry right now.Inside the episode, we explore:✨ How Pilates transformed from a niche discipline into a long-term, stable career pathLisa shares what it was like to teach in the 90s when most people couldn’t even pronounce the word Pilates - let alone build a business with it.✨ Why so many teachers still struggle with confidence (even after years of experience)We talk openly about why knowing the exercises isn’t enough… and why “the confidence comes from the doing.”✨ The gap in modern teacher training - and why so many teachers feel underpreparedFrom two-week qualifications to “learn-it-in-a-weekend” courses, Lisa explains what’s missing, what’s worrying, and what she sees teachers actually need.✨ The danger of social media for new teachersWe get into comparison, crop tops, and why the industry’s obsession with novelty is distracting teachers from what actually makes them great.✨ The simple truth no one tells you: it’s not what you teach, it’s how you teach itLisa shares how depth, layering, timing, and true understanding make the difference - not the fancy stuff you see on Instagram.✨ Why online teaching still feels weird… even for seasoned teachersAnd yet why both Lisa and I still do it!✨ What teachers can do to stay inspired and keep evolvingIncluding why regular practice and solid continuing education are essential for growth.If you're a Pilates teacher, movement educator, or wellness professional this conversation is going to feel like a big exhale.Where to find Lisa:Find out more about The LBP Academy for Teachers here: www.lisabpilates.comBook here for Teacher Training Course and Workshops: LB Pilates Academy - COURSE BOOKINGSJoin me at Studio LB for a face-to-face session or online class: www.studiolisab.csomBook here to join me for an Online Workout: or to receive a Recording: STUDIO LB PILATES - Online Class BookingsDetails for Carolinewww.carolinecopp.co.ukInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/carolinecopp/
