Customer Reviews
Deep dive Into Pilates beliefs and values
Fantastic, relevant podcasts to inform and educate all peeps involved in Pilates - instructors and clients alike !!
Love it
This podcast allows me to question beliefs I have about Pilates and encourages me to learn new things.
A must listen.
Have learnt so much from Pilates Elephants and the amazing guests Raph talks with. The way he explains things and breaks things down to a really simple and easy way of understanding is second to none.
