Define Your Difference
This month, we explore one powerful idea: Define Your Difference. From Jennifer Winter’s distinct approach at Nice Day Pilates to the growing need for comprehensively trained teachers, this issue examines what truly sets studios, brands, and instructors apart in a rapidly evolving industry. We also hear from Ernie Fossa on what to ask of your Teacher Training Program, Maria Bardet on the strength training debate, and Whitney Tucker on Mexico City’s rising Pilates scene.
We’d love your feedback, please send us your thoughts via our contactpage.
