The power of the hands cannot be underestimated. There could be an entire program just on how to use the hands. In fact, when I was a gymnast, we were expected to know how to spot or assist fellow gymnasts whether assisting a balk walkover on the Balance Beam or handstand swings on Uneven Parallel Bars, and we had to figure it out on the spot. But as a teacher, how to place your hands on your client and how much pressure should you use and when to know it’s time to back off are questions Here to talk about why the use of hands is instrumental in becoming a great will be addressed Roberta Kirschanbaum our guest today.

What our listeners are saying.

  • I just heard July 16 podcast with Kevin and Pat. Yeah, I am still cheering. They articulated Joe's gift to us so correctly and that I’ve felt and taught these past 65 years. Thank you so much!

    Anna Shaffer, Joe Pilates student and First Generation teacher

  • Hello! I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. You do such a great job, allowing your guests to tell their story and you interview them well to draw out details while still letting them take the lead. It truly is a skill thank you for all you do to keep that going. Hope you had a great summer and I really do plan to join one of your monthly classes again. Thank you for continuing to keep me on your newsletter, even though I don’t always participate. One of these days my schedule will match up

    Yoly Novak, Pilates teacher

  • My students enjoyed learning about my journey and thought the questions were fantastic. Some were really inspired that I take a multifaceted approach to Pilates. My parents (especially my dad) thought you were so incredible and they loved your style. My dad was surprised that you are a Pilates Instructor and not in broadcasting for a living.

    Carrie Miller, Pilates educator


  • Darien, I came late to the Gold podcast party and only discovered your show about a month ago... It's a great offering to Pilates teachers and enthusiasts, I hope more people find it! I think you have refreshing, insightful, and engaging conversations with some inspirational guests in the Pilates field. I feel it helps me as a teacher to connect to a community that feels far away at times! (I'm UK based). Thank you Darien for this wonderful resource, and I look forward to enjoying more of it. Congratulations on the new season...

    Niki Shokar, Pilates teacher

You are so clever, light and informative and I always research more about your guest to learn more. You are incredible! Thank you for All Things Pilates and all that you do for our community!

    Carolina M., Pilates student

  • I am newer to Pilates and learning to be an instructor through a STOTT Pilates training center. I’ve just discovered your radio show/podcast through Apple Podcasts. I think I’ve listened to 10 episodes in the last few days. I’m absolutely loving every episode and will be listening to the entire series. You are a great interviewer and the guests are awesome. I’m learning a lot and thought I’d send you a note to say how much I appreciate All Things Pilates! Take good care and keep at it!

    Amber L., Pilates student

  • Hi Darien - I just discovered your podcast yesterday and wanted to say thank you. So far I’ve listened to your interviews with the new owners of Gratz and Blossom. Back to binging. Have a great weekend.

    Kira Lamb, Pilates Teacher

  • Hi Darien, I have been working my way through your podcast starting in 2019 and I just wanted to tell you how much I love it. Each guest is more interesting than the next and I find it fascinating. You are very talented. Can’t wait for the next season! I loved your interview with Reiner Grootenhuis when my Pilates teacher Clare Dunphy received a shout out. I started out listening by cherry picking what I thought would be the most interesting but I’ve found that some of the guests who were unfamiliar to me are also fascinating. Thank you for providing this 😀! How do I become a subscriber?

I am limited on my exercises. I know I can do some of the Pilates exercises by lying on the floor or standing against the wall. Yes please sign me up to All things Pilates. I want to be that engine driving that Mercedes or BMW. My name is Laurence and I am 64 yr old. I have been taking Pilates since 2018. My goal is to never stop working on my Pilates exercises and try to keep growing. Pilates has helped my golf ⛳️ game.

Congratulations again!

  • What I really appreciate is how engaging and informative the episodes are – so much so that I've found myself listening to a few multiple times. Each time, I pick up on little gems I missed before, which makes each listen feel fresh and rewarding. Whether you're a Pilates newbie or a seasoned practitioner, there's something for everyone in these episodes. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enrich their Pilates practice!

    Lynn Grandjean - Pilates studio owner

  • Hi Darien, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned from your amazing podcast. It is endless the amount of research and learning we can do on our own if we have the correct guidance.  The new Gratz owners podcast is incredible. So wonderful that they have the goal of 2 week production time. Hopefully they can make it happen. Maybe it’s a 5 year business plan ;) Your interviews are so smart and interesting. I always long for the next one!
