Jenna recovers from her son's 4 yr old birthday pandemonium and reflects on a popular blog post posing the argument that anatomy knowledge is not necessary for teaching Pilates. We discuss the difference between calling out someone on the internet, calling in someone on the internet and the ramifications of both choices. Our guest is the diva, Diane Severino, a movement muse of Ron Fletcher's who ran his studio and laid the foundation for generations of Pilates Teachers to come!

This week we talk about Jenna's trip to the opera and how it brought a new lesson about judgement to the classroom of life (and Pilates.) We'll also hear from the man behind the photographs that many of us have hanging in our studios: Mr. Chuck Rapoport. We're going to take a trip back in time to that fateful day where he shot photos of Joseph Pilates in his natural habitat. We also have a rant from a caller who makes a hard choice to leave a studio where she feels gratified by the work, but not the paycheck.
