Motivating and inspiring

I find my nodding my head a lot when listening. Having been in the Pilates industry for 15 years I have had to reinvent, re build, adapt and change my business model many times listening to your podcast has helped me feel motivated and less overwhelmed when I’m feeling stuck.

All of them!

Been listening to Raphs podcasts for a long time now & each week I get something from each one for my tool box. This weeks 19/06/22 was great as I also run an online business as well as a bricks & mortar studio.
Raph asked some great questions & Ruth was so generous with all her answers.
Keep up the good work 👏👏👏

You’ve got to look outside the box

After 22 years in the industry, my third Studio and many collaborations over the past years, I am utterly grateful for those that question what they have been taught. Everything comes from good intention, but you should always question, consider and evolve - don’t stand still. Thank goodness for like-minded souls and F-bombs!!

Informative, inspiring, refreshing Podcast

I just love every single conversation that Pilates Elephants brings to the table. Incredibly intelligent and informed discussions that are totally relatable, funny, inclusive and not pompous at all, and inspire me to look at the Pilates method, and my teaching, in new ways, profound ways. I feel I can breath into new space and be myself as a teacher which has increased my confidence with my clients, so I provide a better service, becoming a better movement teacher and business owner. Thank you Raphael, Chloe and all your lovely guests. You know it already.. You’re awesome!

Debunk some myths!

Some of the things you maybe know but this Podcast will give you the facts & evidence to back it up.
Others things you maybe don’t know, but will make you think along a different line.
Great podcast & for the record, I’ve nearly caught up with the episodes!

A must for any Pilates enthusiast!

First, I will give a little history about me. I have been teaching Pilates for almost 10 years, and before that I completed an honours degree in Sport and Exercise Science.
I have always been fascinated by sport, movement and the wider impact that it has on your physical, mental and emotional health. When I first got into Pilates I, like so many others, was gripped by it in a way I couldn’t describe or put my finger on. Over the past decade I have dedicated myself to Pilates as my profession and the practice but always felt the training I’ve received and answers to questions I have has been unsatisfactory, that is until I discovered this podcast.
The podcast explores the position Pilates holds as part of a healthy life, the community that engages with it and the fact that Joseph Pilates created a method that, with the advent of Sport science and greater research, we are only now getting to grips with its influence and impact. This podcast dives into these topics and shatters a lot of myths in the industry in the best possible way, by showing the peer reviewed scientific literature to form a consensus on what is known, unknown, complex and just plain daft. How do I engage my core anyway?!! Keep up the good work team! For everyone else, listen to the podcast, but also read ‘Caged Lion’

Mind boggling and Awesome

I cannot stop listening to these podcasts.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable to hear lots of my indoctrinated pilates knowledge and cueing is now out of date. At first I felt deflated that I had been giving potentially incorrect information out to my clients but now I just want to to rise to the challenge of questioning what I teach and why. I can’t praise Raphael and Cloe enough for the education - please keep up the good work and offer up help on how we can be even better teachers.

Great podcast

I'm so pleased I found out about this podcast. It was a tough listen to begin with and I almost didn't get past the first one but I'm so pleased that I stuck with them. Lots of old technques and ideas have gone out of the window and new ways of thinking and teaching have now been adopted. Thank you Raphael and Cloe.
