Pilates for Everyday Olympics

Olivia Bioni
About this episode

For most of us, our clients aren't competing at the Olympics in Paris, but they are unloading the dishwasher, sitting at a desk for eight hours, having to pick up and move to a new departure gate at the airport, and babysitting their energetic grandkids. We can prepare our clients for better outcomes in their everyday Olympic events, not just by teaching Pilates, but by building a relationship of trust and care with our clients. This episode explores the importance of building a therapeutic alliance and concrete strategies you can use in your classes.
