(Ep 388)

In Part 2 of Habits of a Whole Heart, host Arnie Herz continues his inspiring conversation with Mo Wolfe, founder of Evolution Pilates in Port Washington, New York. After sharing her powerful personal journey in Part 1, Mo returns to explore deeper themes of gratitude, wholeness, and what it truly means to live with intention.

Mo reflects on her recent trip to Bhutan, a country known for measuring “Gross Domestic Happiness,” and shares how its calm, culture, and values reshaped her perspective on modern life, noise, and stress. From there, the conversation moves into the heart of Pilates as Joseph Pilates intended it: breath, control, alignment, and inner focus as a path to vitality.

Arnie and Mo discuss the overlap between Pilates and physical therapy, the importance of agency, and how resilience is built not only in the body but also in the mind and spirit. Arnie shares personal testimony about how Pilates helped prepare him for open heart surgery and supported his recovery through major health challenges, including surviving overwhelming odds after a life-threatening brain bleed.

This episode is a moving reminder that strength is built daily, gratitude is a practice, and community is healing. And as Mo says: if you have a body, you have a Pilates body.
