from Core with Shawna Beardsley | A Pilates Podcast · host Shawna Beardsley, NCPT
Owning a Pilates studio sounds dreamy—until it’s 6 a.m. and your instructor texts out sick. In this episode, we’re talking about the real-life “ball and chain” moments of being a studio owner: scrambling for last-minute subs, managing a sub list that sometimes disappears, and why—no matter how prepared you are—you’ll often be the one jumping in. It’s not glamorous, but it is part of the job. Let’s talk about how to navigate it with grace, grit, and just enough caffeine.
