Check out this week's episode with Kaleen Canevari! Kaleen Canevari is the Founder and CEO of Flexiapilates. She is a Pilates teacher and engineer who solves equipment headaches. Before she was a Pilates instructor, she was a mechanical engineer. After completing her teacher training, she merged her two passions. Initially, she helped design equipment for Balanced Body where she bridged the gap between the technical manufacturing-speak and the equally-complicated Pilates world language and ideals. Then she noticed a bigger problem. While Pilates teachers had access to beautiful equipment, most of them were lost on how to take care of it and it wasn’t their fault! After all, this wasn’t something that was taught in the teacher training. Fast forward to today where she helps Pilates teachers find the right equipment for their needs and keep their equipment safe, smooth, and quiet, so their teaching (and not that squeaky spring) can be the star of the show. So, Kaleen founded 'The Fit Reformer' to support Pilates studio owners and instructors like you when the inevitable time comes that you have a question about your Pilates equipment.   In this podcast we discuss: 00:00 - Intro / What is Pilates? 02:32 - The intimidation factor of the reformer 06:04 - Combining Stick Mobility & Pilates 07:19 - Integrating technology and metrics into Pilates 13:27 - The conscious competent cycle (self-regulation) 14:53 - Pilates training frequency 16:30 - Training using empirical data 20:34 - Pilates to address hypermobility 21:44 - The broad beneficial scope of Pilates  24:40 - The nuances of movement and strength More from Kaleen: https://fitreformer.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kaleencanevari/
