About Beth Sandlin:

Beth's approach is about harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit, particularly beneficial during the transformative mid-life phase.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

Beth Sandlin discusses how her personal journey with cancer led her to discover the benefits of Pilates, and how she now approaches Pilates and holistic wellness with a focus on supporting women in midlife and menopause. She emphasizes Pilates' ability to improve strength, mobility, flexibility, and balance - all important for maintaining health and function as we age.

Beth explains how Pilates can benefit mental health, reducing stress and even lowering dementia risk. She encourages a flexible, seasonal approach to exercise that adapts to different life stages and energy levels, rather than rigidly sticking to a single routine. Developing self-compassion and using our life experience as wisdom are also key.

For women new to or returning to exercise, Beth advises starting with consistency over intensity - even just 10 minutes per day can be a great foundation. She recommends a blend of strengthening, mobility, and restorative work, and gradually increasing intensity as the body adapts. The focus should be on what you can do consistently, not perfection.

Beth shares her thoughts regarding Pilates In the context of awesomely aging, and how she recommends integrating Pilates with other forms of exercise to address the unique health and wellness needs of midlife women.
