  • The difference between a good class and a fabulous class (and how you can improve)

    The difference between a good class and a fabulous class (and how you can improve)
    Jul 13 2026

    What makes a truly exceptional Pilates instructor?

    Is it the perfect sequence?
    The smoothest transitions?
    The most advanced repertoire?

    In this solo episode, Katie Crane explores one of the most important skills every Pilates teacher should develop—the ability to teach the people in front of you, not simply the class you planned.

    Inspired by a conversation with her teacher training students, Katie unpacks why regressions, modifications, and progressions aren't optional extras—they're the foundation of quality teaching. She challenges the growing focus on choreography and "flow" while reminding us that great Pilates education is built on critical thinking, understanding movement, and knowing the "why" behind every exercise.

    Whether you're a student, a newly qualified instructor, or an experienced teacher, this episode is a powerful reminder that every person in your class deserves to participate, grow, and succeed at their own level.

    In This Episode
    • Why teaching a sequence is not the same as teaching Pilates
    • The difference between a good class and a truly exceptional class
    • Why regressions and modifications should be part of every lesson
    • How to teach the room instead of sticking rigidly to your plan
    • The importance of understanding the purpose behind every exercise
    • Why critical thinking is one of the most valuable skills a Pilates teacher can develop
    • The problem with memorizing choreography without understanding movement
    • How comprehensive education builds confident, adaptable instructors
    • What new teachers should start practicing immediately to improve their teaching
    Key Takeaways

    ✨ A good class runs the sequence. A fabulous class runs the room.

    ✨ Every exercise should have a regression, progression, and clear purpose.

    ✨ Teaching is about responding to the people in front of you—not simply delivering choreography.

    ✨ If a client cannot perform an exercise, it's the teacher's responsibility to help them access the movement safely.

    ✨ Great Pilates instructors continually ask one question:

    Why?

    Understanding why an exercise belongs in a class creates better movement, better outcomes, and better teachers.

  • Why The Financial Crisis Is Not Your Problem

    Why The Financial Crisis Is Not Your Problem
    Jul 6 2026

    What if the way you talk about hard times online is actually pushing your clients away?

    Welcome back to The Pilates Lounge Podcast with your host, Katie Crane. In this solo episode, Katie shares an honest, off-the-cuff take on a trend she's noticed across social media: Pilates studio owners and instructors posting about how hard business is right now. She unpacks why that messaging can hurt your business, and what to say instead if you want to become the safe, steady place your community turns to when life feels hard.

    In This Episode, We Discuss
    • The social media trend of studio owners posting fear-based messages about the cost of living crisis
    • Why being in business is a rollercoaster, not a ladder, and always has been
    • How your social media messaging either attracts or repels your ideal client
    • Why "the sky is falling" posts don't help your business, even when they're true
    • How to speak to your ideal client's fears while offering them a solution
    • Why Pilates helps reset the nervous system during stressful times
    • Katie's morning reading habit and two book recommendations for mindset
    • The difference between people who survive hard times and people who suffer through them
    • Why you get to choose how you show up, and it's okay to walk away if you need to
    Key Takeaways

    ✨ Be the roof, not the storm

    People aren't looking for someone to confirm that life is hard. They're looking for a safe, steady place to turn to. Show up as that place.

    ✨ Speak to fears with solutions, not more fear

    Your ideal client already feels stressed. The most useful thing you can post is how Pilates helps them, not a list of everything that's going wrong.

    ✨ Business is a rollercoaster, not a ladder

    Business was never meant to be easy or linear. Every business owner has hard days. The difference is in the story you choose to tell your community.

    ✨ Protect your mornings

    Reading for fifteen minutes each morning, instead of scrolling social media, can shift your mindset and help you show up stronger for your clients.

  • From Gymnastics to Pilates: Movement, Athletes & Performance with Lauren Skopal

    From Gymnastics to Pilates: Movement, Athletes & Performance with Lauren Skopal
    Jun 29 2026
    What does 30 years of elite movement — from rhythmic gymnastics to international circus performance — teach you about the body? And how does that change the way you use Pilates with athletes? In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane sits down with Lauren Skopal — exercise and sports scientist, founder of Limber Sports Performance, and former international acrobat. Lauren brings a rare perspective to movement education. Her background spans 12 years of competitive rhythmic gymnastics, 15 years performing aerial and acrobatic acts around the world, and a career in sports science and Pilates. The conversation is rich, honest, and packed with practical insight for Pilates professionals working with active bodies. In This Episode, We Discuss Lauren's journey from elite gymnastics to international circus performing — and how that shaped her body awarenessWhy gymnastics-trained athletes make the strongest performers in disciplines like circus and acrobaticsCommon injuries in artistic athletes and how Pilates supports long-term joint healthHow Pilates can be embedded into athlete warm-ups, cool-downs, and strength and conditioning programsThe gap between sports science education and what Pilates actually teaches about the bodyWhy niching down in your Pilates business actually brings in more clients, not fewerLauren's new online flexibility program inspired by gymnastics-based training Key Takeaways ✨ Body awareness starts young — and Pilates builds on that Gymnastics trains the body from a young age to move with precision, control, and effortlessness. Pilates shares that same attention to detail. Lauren sees a natural connection between the two disciplines — and uses both to help athletes understand how their body works. ✨ Pilates belongs inside the training program, not just the rehab room Most athletes only discover Pilates after injury. But Lauren makes the case for weaving it into warm-ups, cool-downs, and accessory work — before problems arise. It doesn't need its own time slot to be effective. ✨ Core-driven movement is a performance tool, not just injury prevention Pilates builds stabilization, movement control, and muscular endurance. Lauren says that when athletes know how to use their core well, it improves force transfer, biomechanics, and overall performance — not just joint longevity. ✨ Niching down builds authority — and attracts more of the right clients Lauren focuses her practice on athletic populations. Katie reflects on the same choice in her own studio. When you know exactly who you serve, you become the go-to person for that group. Referrals follow naturally. About Lauren Skopal Lauren Skopal is an exercise and sports scientist and the founder of Limber Sports Performance. She has over 30 years of experience in sport and movement as an athlete, international performer, coach, consultant, and educator. Lauren competed in rhythmic gymnastics nationally in Australia for 12 years before spending 15 years as an international acrobat and circus performer. She holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport and Health Science and a Master of Applied Sports Science from Deakin University. Lauren works with artistic athletes, gymnasts, dancers, tennis players, and circus artists — helping them build the stability, mobility, and movement quality they need to perform at their best.

  • Why Learning From The Source Matters More Now Than Ever

    Why Learning From The Source Matters More Now Than Ever
    Jun 17 2026
    Are you teaching Pilates — or just choreography you borrowed from someone who borrowed it from someone else? In this solo episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, host Katie Crane gets honest about one of the most important conversations happening in the Pilates industry right now: the erosion of lineage. Katie shares why learning from the source matters more than ever, what it truly means to earn the title of "master," and why the shortcut is always the long way around. In This Episode, We Discuss Why Pilates has a lineage — not a trend — and what that means for your teachingThe problem with teacher training programs that aren't connected to Joseph and Clara PilatesWhat the word "master" actually means, and why most people are using it too soonThe guild model of mastery — apprentice, journeyman, masterpiece — and how it applies to Pilates educationWhy foundation work like footwork is never something you graduate fromThe role of repetition and deliberate practice in becoming a truly excellent educatorHow to choose a mentor, teacher trainer, or course with your eyes openWhy filling your own creative cup is essential to sustaining a long career in Pilates Key Takeaways ✨ Get as close to the source as possible Jay Grimes, who trained directly with Joseph and Clara Pilates, said it best: Pilates has a lineage, not a trend. If you're learning this craft, trace the thread back to the source and choose your lineage deliberately — not by default. ✨ Nice is not the same as qualified Just because an educator was kind, encouraging, and gave you a certificate doesn't mean they were the best person to teach you Pilates. Kind is not the same as competent. Helpful is not the same as correct. ✨ The foundation is not something you graduate from The masters Katie admires most are still doing footwork, still refining the Hundred, still finding new depth in the most basic work. The foundation is the thing you return to for the rest of your career — not the thing you rush through to get to the advanced repertoire. ✨ Mastery takes time — and that's the point Whether it's Don Bradman hitting a cricket ball against a corrugated iron water tank or Leonardo da Vinci grinding pigments as a teenager, the path to mastery has always been the same: repetition, patience, humility, and years of deliberate practice. The shortcut is always the long way around. About Katie Crane Katie Crane is the host of The Pilates Lounge Podcast and a Pilates educator based in Darwin, Australia. With over 21 years of teaching experience and four Pilates diplomas totalling more than 2,800 hours of study, Katie is passionate about protecting the lineage of Pilates and developing the next generation of skilled, grounded Pilates professionals. She runs her own studio, teacher training program, and The Pilates Professional — an online platform for Pilates educators.

  • Taking Risks in Business

    Taking Risks in Business
    Jun 8 2026

    What would you be willing to risk to give your community something truly valuable?

    In this episode, host Katie Crane gets real about what it actually takes to build a Pilates studio that honours the full method. From a very public business attack to losing 40% of her clients, to finally opening the last room of her dream studio — Katie shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the risks she took and why she would do it all again.

    In This Episode, We Discuss
    • Why Katie relocated her Darwin studio in March 2025 — and what it really cost her
    • The public media attack that dragged her business name through the dirt
    • Losing 40% of her client base during the relocation and how she rebuilt
    • The opening of her new wall tower room and why it brought her to tears
    • Why teaching reformer-only Pilates is doing your clients a disservice
    • The neuroscience behind movement: "Neurons that fire together, wire together"
    • Why functional, upright movement matters more than perfecting supine exercises
    • How the reformer boom will eventually burst — and who will be left standing
    • What it truly means to invest in Pilates as a complete system
    Key Takeaways

    ✨ The reformer is a tool, not the whole system

    The reformer is one piece of the Pilates apparatus. When clients only ever use one tool, they miss the full benefit of the Pilates method.

    ✨ Functional movement means upright movement

    Neurons that fire together wire together. If your clients only ever practice lying down, they only get better at lying down. The goal is to help people move well in real life.

    ✨ Business risk is part of serving your community

    Katie spent over $100,000 more than planned on the relocation. She lost clients. She rebuilt her brand. And she says it was worth it.

    ✨ The reformer bubble will burst

    The ones that survive will be the ones that truly understand and apply the full Pilates method.

  • How to Cue Muscles without Cueing Muscles

    How to Cue Muscles without Cueing Muscles
    Jun 1 2026
    What if cueing the body wasn't about telling muscles what to do — but helping clients feel how their body already knows how to move? In this solo episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie explores how Pilates teachers can cue muscles without directly asking clients to "switch on," "activate," or "engage" specific muscles. Drawing from her own teaching experience, Katie shares how her cueing language has evolved over the years and why functional movement should reflect how the body naturally works in everyday life. Using simple examples like picking up a coffee cup or walking, she explains why constantly cueing muscle contraction may sometimes interrupt natural coordination rather than improve it. This episode invites Pilates professionals to think deeper about body awareness, joint placement, integrated movement, and how to use language, touch, imagery, props, and the environment to help clients connect with their body in a more natural and functional way. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why Katie no longer relies heavily on cues like "switch on your core"How teaching language naturally evolves over timeWhy Pilates cueing should support real-life functionThe difference between muscle activation and body awarenessWhy actively cueing muscles can sometimes interrupt natural movementHow to help clients understand where their body is in spaceThe role of joint placement in supporting better movementHow to cue the core without directly saying "engage your core"How to help clients feel hamstring connection through the heelWhy the body works as an integrated system, not isolated musclesHow props, touch, equipment, and imagery can improve client awarenessWhy curiosity and feedback are essential for Pilates teachers Key Takeaways ✨ Pilates cueing does not always need to focus on individual muscle activation ✨ The body naturally coordinates movement without conscious muscle commands ✨ Functional teaching should reflect how clients move in everyday life ✨ Joint placement and body awareness can help muscles work more naturally ✨ Imagery, touch, props, and the environment can support deeper client understanding ✨ Teaching language will continue to evolve as your experience and knowledge grow ✨ There is no perfect way to teach — only the best way you can teach with what you know today About Katie Crane Katie Crane is the host of The Pilates Lounge Podcast and founder of The Pilates Professional. With decades of experience in the Pilates industry, Katie supports Pilates teachers and movement professionals in deepening their understanding of the body, refining their teaching approach, and developing more thoughtful, functional, and client-centered practices. In this episode, Katie shares a personal and practical reflection on cueing, teaching evolution, and how Pilates professionals can better guide clients toward movement that feels natural, integrated, and empowering.

  • Movement Is Medicine: Rewiring Pain Through Novel Movement with Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee

    Movement Is Medicine: Rewiring Pain Through Novel Movement with Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee
    May 18 2026
    What if pain wasn't just about tissue damage — but about the brain's relationship with movement? In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie sits down with chiropractor, educator, and author Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee to explore the fascinating connection between movement, neuroplasticity, chronic pain, and healing. Known online for his creative "movement snacks" and Neural Re-Education (NRE) approach, Dr. Coetzee shares how introducing novel movement patterns can help the brain relearn safe, pain-free movement. Together, they unpack the role of movement in pain management, the psychology behind chronic pain, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how Pilates professionals can integrate neuro-based thinking into their teaching and client care. This conversation bridges chiropractic, Pilates, pain neuroscience, movement variability, and brain health — offering practical insights for movement practitioners and anyone curious about how the body and brain work together. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why "movement is medicine" goes beyond exerciseHow chronic pain becomes a learned movement patternThe concept of Neural Re-Education (NRE)What "novel movement" means and why the brain craves itHow Pilates supports neuroplasticity and pain recoveryThe relationship between movement, fear, and painWhy safe movement experiences matter for healingHow manual therapy affects the nervous systemThe role of prediction error and dopamine in pain-free movementPrecision vs variability in Pilates and movement teachingWhy consistency is more important than perfectionThe connection between movement, mood, and mental healthSupplements Dr. Coetzee recommends for musculoskeletal healthThe importance of education, accountability, and hope in recoveryHow practitioners can better support clients with chronic pain Key Takeaways ✨ Pain is real — but not always proportional to tissue damage ✨ The brain can "learn" pain patterns over time ✨ Novel movement creates new neurological input and opportunity for change ✨ Pilates practitioners are already working neurologically, whether they realize it or not ✨ Movement variability and curiosity can help retrain the nervous system ✨ Education and empowerment are essential in long-term healing ✨ Healing often requires consistency, patience, and safe exploration About Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee is a Chiropractor based in London and Kent, specializing in evidence-based pain management and movement rehabilitation.
