    A Growth Mindset with Julie Demsey

    In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane sits down with mindset coach Julie Dempsey to dive into the importance of a positive growth mindset, especially in times of burnout— a challenge for both Pilates instructors and clients. They discuss powerful tools to shift self-belief, manage negative thoughts, and use visualisation and positive self-talk to drive personal and professional success. Julie shares her perspective on how essential it is for instructors to recognise their own growth, build a supportive environment, and embrace self-care without guilt. Katie and Julie also touch on the myth that busyness equals success, explaining why prioritising self-care and breaking down tasks can lead to healthier, more sustainable growth.   Key Takeaways A positive growth mindset is a foundation for both personal and professional fulfilment. Most of us have a significant amount of negative thoughts each day, but we can train our brains to focus on the positive. Our upbringing influences our belief systems, but these can be reshaped with practice. Visualisation techniques and positive self-talk can enhance performance and improve outcomes. Recognizing and addressing physical signs of stress or negativity is the first step toward change. Reframing our thoughts can give us a brighter outlook on life. Continuous learning is crucial for personal growth and resilience. Creating a supportive environment uplifts both instructors and clients. Being “busy” doesn’t mean you’re successful; self-care is essential for true productivity.   Tune in to learn more about embracing a positive mindset, prioritising your well-being, and growing both personally and professionally.

    Unwinding inside: How stress tightens the pelvic floor & what you can do about it…

    In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, host Katie Crane explores the multifaceted topic of the pelvic floor, emphasizing its critical role in Pilates practice. She addresses common misconceptions about pelvic floor strength, discusses the impact of stress on pelvic floor dysfunction, and underscores the importance of ongoing education for Pilates professionals. Katie also shares practical strategies for helping clients relax their pelvic floor using breathing techniques and movement and introduces a new mentoring program for Pilates instructors. Key Takeaways The pelvic floor is a frequent topic in Pilates conversations. Clients often misinterpret their pelvic floor needs based on information from external sources. A solid understanding of anatomy and movement is essential for effective Pilates instruction. Stress can lead to pelvic floor tightening, impacting overall health. Deep breathing exercises can be effective in relaxing pelvic floor muscles. Many clients may struggle with fully evacuating their bladder or bowels due to pelvic floor tension. Pelvic floor dysfunction is closely linked to gut health and general well-being. Pilates instructors should tailor sessions to meet each client's unique needs. Long-term stress can negatively affect reproductive health and function. Continuous learning and professional development are vital for Pilates instructors.

  8. Instead of Belly Button To Spine...

    Instead of Belly Button To Spine...

    In this episode of the Pilates Lounge podcast, I explore the limitations of the "belly button to spine" cue for core activation. While this cue has been popular, I discuss why it may only resonate with some and how it can restrict our understanding of core engagement.   Key Insights: The Complexity of the Core: I break down the core as a multifaceted system, highlighting the roles of the pelvic floor, diaphragm, multifidi, and transverse abdominals. The Role of Self-Practice: I emphasise the significance of self-practice and self-awareness for both instructors and clients. Understanding our own bodies is crucial for effectively teaching core activation. Effective Cues and Imagery: I share practical cues and imagery techniques designed to help clients connect more deeply with their core muscles during Pilates exercises. Rethinking Traditional Cues: I challenge Pilates professionals to reconsider conventional cues and terminology. By focusing on functional movement and proper joint alignment, we can enhance our teaching and our clients' experiences. Takeaways: The "belly button to spine" cue is limited and may not be effective for everyone. Self-practice and self-awareness are vital for grasping and teaching core activation. The core comprises several interconnected systems, not just the abdominal muscles. Creative cues and imagery can foster a stronger connection to core engagement. It’s important to question traditional cues and prioritise functional movement and joint alignment.
