Pilates Unfiltered

We're back for a Fall season with a series of Expert Chats that kicks off with James Crader!  Not only is James a good friend & colleague, he also brings a breadth and depth to the movement space that I believe offers us all permission to be more ALIVE in our work. In the excerpt from the longer session, we talk about the roller coaster ride of the movement professional's career along with what it means to be truly human-centered in your teaching.  With the new format of JZ Unfiltered, you'll receive topic-based episodes from Jenna, co-hosted episodes from members of the movement teaching community, and short-form excerpts of the Expert Chats that happen in the JZ Mvt Pro Community.  Live attendance as well as full-length recorded Expert Chat episodes are available exclusively for members of the community.  There are also currently over 100 guest episodes of Pilates Unfiltered to enjoy on your favorite podcast platform, free of charge.  The intention for this shift is to bring you audio & video experiences that help form connections amongst peers.  The ability to invite more voices into the conversation in an organized space/virtually is an important step in expanding our professional network.  Thank you to all who have joined the community thus far and know that the doors are wide open for you, too!    LINKS James Crader Dot Com Apply To Be A Part Of The JZ Mvt Pro Community Visit Jenna's Website Join The Teach From The Heart FREE Affirmation Immersion

It's a Long-form episode to round out the last 10 before I take a summer break and prepare for an interview series to launch in the fall.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of "role incredulity," which is defined in the following way:  Role incredulity is a form of gender bias where women are mistakenly assumed to be in a support or stereotypically female role — a secretary, assistant, or nurse — rather than a leadership or stereotypically male role, such as CEO, lawyer, or doctor. Harvard Business Review This topic is so important in the age of GURU-ISM and especially in the fitness/wellness realm.  It will challenge you to investigate some of the ways you are celebrating the masters without investigating if their actions truly align with your values.  It's definitely an episode that will stoke your progressive fire!    LINKS Join The End Of Month Recall Join The JZ Community Visit Jennazaffino.com Join My Text Community Join The Teach From The Heart FREE Affirmation Immersion

We're diving deep into the concept of Broken Wing Syndrome and how it applies to our client relationships, teacher training relationships and even the industry at large.  This one is juicy! (and there's a little singing too) References:  Broken Wing Syndrome (“BWS”) refers to non-resilient individuals, and specifically to those working in a family business, where their weaknesses (broken wings) attract well-meaning support from parents and other family members, in ways that are inappropriate, and ultimately unhelpful, to the family and the business. - Family Business United The persistent need to help those who are damaged and broken, whether they ask for help or not. Also, the undeniable attraction that those who are damaged and broke have towards you. - Imperfectly Edie Blog   This weeks GREEN

In this week's episode, we talk about the condition of "Adult Disappointment" and how, when we are disappointed with a human who was supposed to be there to help us, we are allowed to feel grateful for the learning we received and also....disappointed in the ways they chose to behave.  Listen in for some relateable stories, train breathing

Professional progress in the world of teaching movement is about choosing the right "bricks" to provide a strong foundation as well as a structure worth building upon.  In this episode, we break down some of the myths about professional pathways and use a whole bunch of brick metaphors to get there. 

I'm diving deep into expanding the perspective surrounding the moments where we feel like we have no idea what we are doing.  We'll look at this spiral moment of self-doubt, fear and critique and discuss strategies to help navigate through it.  We're also introducing a new feature for the new year - Red Lights and Green Lights.  (yes - this is borrowed from the popcast - I love this show and love the concept.  We're looking at it from a movement perspective) This weeks GREEN

Hello Everyone,  I'm dropping in with some big "mom" energy to remind you that it is ok to walk away, not start an online studio, eat nourishing food, have beliefs and stand behind them, teach what you love and not do it all in 2022.  Also, you're doing a great job.     Love you,  Jenna

We all could use an enlightening episode right now!  Lily Matson first reached out to me to see if I would be interested in interviewing someone who was just completing her first year of teaching to explore this very sweet spot in a Pilates Teacher's journey.  I was a full YES!  At the time of this interview, Lily was a newer Pilates Instructor in Portland, OR. with about 1 year of teaching under her belt.  Her relationship with Pilates started when she was in high school, watching Mari Winsor infomercials in her parents' basement over and over again. After years of organized sports, running and barre classes, she made her way back to mat Pilates. She took her first Reformer class at Cascadia Pilates in Portland and there was no turning back. She joined Cascadia Pilates as a member, completed my 450-hr Teacher Training in May 2019 and started to work as an instructor right away, quitting her full-time job in order to pursue this new career in health and wellness. It was a scary leap with lots of challenges, but one that she's so happy she made. Lily, asked for some coaching in this interview and you know that I was willing to go there and I know that this perspective expanding conversation is exactly what you need to ignite your teaching with new energy for the weeks ahead!    Resources:  The Deep History Of Ourselves; The Four Billion Year Story OF How We Got Conscious Brains - Joseph LeDoux  Cascadia Pilates   Thank you to our sponsors: www.pilatesanytime.com Use code GETUNFILTERED for a free 30 day trial Jenna's got two new classes up right now that are hot off the presses!

In Episode 101, we speak to @taralynpilates about her love for connecting with humans through movement. Her work developed from a classical pedigree in NYC and has spanned a spectrum of clientele. Tara-Lyn’s passion is teaching Pilates with a purpose. That purpose always depends on the clients’ needs and what journey they are on. The common purpose is to help clients find the power they have inside themselves through movement, purposeful thought, and intention. Tara-lyn works with the general population in her studio and her work extends into working with teens to improve their relationship with their bodies, as well as through special programming for breast cancer survivors.

Katie Tomaszewski and Jenna dive into a deep conversation surrounding sobriety and being "sober curious," a new-ish term coined by author, Ruby Warrington. Katie is a seasoned Pilates Pro, who found herself questioning her own relationship with alcohol after some life changes. Today, she runs a group called "Drynamics" that helps others go through this process of investigation with support.
