    The Cost of Putting Yourself Last

    This week's solo episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my students, and honestly, it's something I think about a lot in my own life. We talk about self-care constantly in this industry, but I want to go deeper than bubble baths and face masks. I'm talking about the real, unsexy, foundational stuff that actually keeps you going.   In this episode, I cover: Why prioritizing yourself is one of the most generous things you can do for the people around you The mindset shift that changed how I think about rest, recovery, and "pampering" (spoiler: it's not pampering) My personal health journey  The clean beauty and body care brands I've trusted for years (Living Libations, I'm looking at you) Simple, realistic ways to start protecting your time and your health Why demonstrating for your clients does NOT count as your workout The science behind why even a 15-minute walk after a meal matters more than you think Sleep, relationships, social media consumption, and how what you take in shapes how you show up Why the changes you make today are an investment in who you want to be at 60, 70, 80, and beyond   ~ Go to getsensate.com/arnutrition and use code "ARnutrition" for 10% off ~ Pilates Instructor Mentorship | JOIN HERE   ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca

We discuss the importance of understanding the pelvic floor, breaking the stigma surrounding pelvic health issues, and the interconnectedness of various health aspects. Kristen shares insights on effective cueing techniques for pelvic floor activation, common misconceptions about pelvic health, and the significance of education in empowering women.    Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is often overlooked but crucial for overall well-being.

Breaking the stigma around pelvic health is essential for better health outcomes. Hydration plays a key role in bladder health and function. Understanding the anatomy of the pelvic floor is vital for effective treatment. Effective cueing techniques can help individuals connect with their pelvic floor. Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in various ways, including pain and incontinence. Investing in pelvic physiotherapy can lead to significant improvements in quality of life. Continuous learning is important in the field of health and wellness. Removing coffee or carbonated drinks can improve health. A strong pelvic floor must also be able to relax. Body awareness is crucial for pelvic floor health. Symptoms like incontinence should not be ignored. Regular check-ups can prevent pelvic floor issues. Perimenopause can bring unexpected pelvic floor changes. Empowerment comes from understanding your body.

    Beyond the Certification: What it Really Takes to Become a Great Pilates Teacher with Joshua Norris-Ongso

    This week I sat down with someone whose journey in movement truly blew me away. Joshua Norris Ongso is an Australian physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience, a former competitive aerobic gymnast, founder of 10 Pilates and barre studios, and the creator of the world's first physiotherapist-designed barre workouts. He's now based in Portugal, bringing his S3 Method to a whole new community.  In this episode, we talk about: How a burnt-out physio and a recommendation for clinical Pilates set Joshua on his entire career path Why so many people focus on one pillar of movement (stretch OR strength OR stability) instead of all three The problem with social media fitness trends, including the infamous levitation challenge (yes, we went there) The importance of layering exercises and why skipping foundational steps is setting clients up for failure How to know when something is outside your scope of practice, and why that matters more than ever The war between classical and contemporary Pilates, and why we think Joseph Pilates himself would have evolved his method What responsible posting on social media actually looks like Joshua's incredible mentorship story and the young instructor in Lisbon who is proof that doing it right pays off Planning your classes versus winging it and when each is appropriate Why repetition is everything, and why one rep of something flashy teaches your body nothing Integrating what you learn in the studio into your everyday life ~ Go to getsensate.com/arnutrition and use code "ARnutrition" for 10% off ~ Pilates Instructor Mentorship | JOIN HERE ~ Connect with Joshua ~ Instagram - @joshua.s3pilates ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca

    Naked in Seoul: What a Korean Spa Taught Me About Self-Care

    Picture this: Seoul, South Korea, about 20 years ago. It's 10 PM, class just wrapped up, and my students invite me to the sauna. Sounds lovely, right? What I did not expect was walking into a room with 200 naked Korean ladies and realizing very quickly that this was NOT the kind of sauna I had in mind.  I hope this one makes you laugh, maybe blush a little, and hopefully inspires you to find your own version of self-care — whatever that looks like for you. In this episode I'm talking about: Why I love teaching internationally and what it's done for my teaching and my soul The VERY real cultural differences around body confidence and communal bathing (no judgment — just pure shock on my end!) The full, unfiltered story of my first Korean spa experience — showers, body scrubs, tiny hand towels and all Why I now say yes to the experience... but also why I now politely decline when my Korean students invite me back My honest thoughts on self-care vs. pampering — because they are NOT the same thing How my upbringing shaped my relationship with my body, and the ongoing (and very real) journey of learning to be comfortable in my own skin   ~ Go to getsensate.com/arnutrition and use code "ARnutrition" for 10% off ~ ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca

    Movement, Fascia, and the Science Behind How We Age with Jen Dahl

    I've been wanting to have Jen on the podcast for so long, and this conversation did not disappoint. Jen Dahl is a contemporary dance and theater artist, post-rehabilitation movement specialist, and fascial movement educator with over 20 years of experience. She's also a Stott Pilates Master Instructor Trainer based in Italy, and honestly, every conversation I have with her leaves me wanting more. In this episode, we get into why going back to basics is always the answer, how the body and brain are one connected system, and why there are truly no secrets and no shortcuts when it comes to movement longevity. What we cover: How Jen's dance background led her to dig deeper into biomechanics and movement science — and why she felt her generation of dancers was underserved Why the most skilled movers are the ones who can adapt and strategize, not just follow a choreography The importance of meeting clients where they're at — including a great story about a 16-year-old golfer with debilitating back pain who became pain-free through basic movement work Why high-performance athletes often have major movement blind spots, and how Pilates bridges that gap The fascial piece: what it is, why less structured movement can push clients past a plateau, and why results speak louder than peer-reviewed studies The brain-body connection and why over-thinking your movement can actually get in the way Jen's own training philosophy — changing things up every 6 weeks to 3 months, walking everywhere, and staying genuinely curious Instructor burnout: how many clients is too many, the difference between online and in-person energy drain, and why boundaries are a gift to your clients too   ~ Go to getsensate.com/arnutrition and use code "ARnutrition" for 10% off ~   ~ Connect With Jen ~ Email - ms.jdahl@gmail.com   ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca

    The Comparison Trap

    In this episode, I'm sharing five things I wish someone had told me before I started teaching — and honestly, things I still remind myself of today after 25 years in the industry. What we cover: 1. Confidence doesn't mean knowing everything. One of the biggest misconceptions I see in new instructors is thinking you need to feel fully ready before you can lead others. The truth? Great teachers aren't confident because they know it all — they're confident because they stay curious and stay present. I share the story of my very first apprentice hour and the moment I realized I did have something to offer, even when I felt miles behind. 2. The best teachers never stop being students. I still encounter things in the studio that surprise me — after 25 years. The goal isn't mastery; it's continuous layering of knowledge onto what you already know. Topics like fascia are still evolving, and the most respected instructors in the field are still questioning, refining, and changing their perspectives decades in. 3. Comparison destroys perspective. Comparing your day one to someone's year twenty is like comparing the start of a journey to mile 10,000. I share a personal story about a client I over-stretched early in my career — a mistake I made because I applied everything I learned all at once. You're not going to be them. And that's okay, because what you bring will be unique. 4. Clients aren't looking for perfection. They want to feel safe, understood, and encouraged. Sometimes the simplest cues — "bring your arms up here, perfect, just like that" — land better than the most anatomically precise instruction. If your client leaves feeling better than when they walked in, that is success. 5. Experience is built through action, not waiting. I tell students this all the time: you're never going to feel fully ready. The year after you pass your exam is often where you learn the most. Start before you feel good enough. The teaching itself is the skill — it's not one more certification or one more course.   ~ Go to getsensate.com/arnutrition and use code "ARnutrition" for 10% off ~   ~ Connect With Me ~ Instagram - @adriana.rotella Website - adrianarotella.ca
