The Pilates PSA

Join Heather Erdmann and Joey Marino to discuss the copyright lawsuit that is currently active in the Pilates industry.  To help this podcast launch, it means the world to me if you can like, follow, save, share, comment on any platform.  This is a grassroots effort to inform the Pilates industry of the things that you won't hear from any stage at any curated conference.   As promised in the episode, here are links to places you can begin to learn more about the issues at hand. 1.  93 page court decision in the 2000 Trademark Lawsuit https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.pilates.com/resources/aboutpilates/pilates-decision.pdf 2.

Pilates isn’t just a workout. It’s a cultural practice, a pedagogical lineage, and a mirror to the wellness industry’s values. Pilates PSA is a public service announcement for our practice and profession. Hosted by Heather Erdmann, this podcast is where expertise meets ethics, and history informs pedagogy.   In this episode, join Heather with guest Sonja Herbert, founder of Black Girl Pilates.
