Summary
Dr Marcia chats Pilates with Lindsay Strobel of Fat Body Pilates, Sonja Price Herbert of Black Girl Pilates, and Rachel Reis of Rad Pilates about the history, intention, and purpose of the system Joseph Pilates initially while imprisoned in an internment camp. Our knowledgeable guests share the principles of the method (the truth), and how the pitfalls of toxic fitness culture dilute these principles (the tea).
