🧠 Learn the foundations of building a playlist, and how to make it your own.
🤸 Move with Talese in a mini class that explores how music can shape your experience.
🌱 Grow with us as we share stories about noise issues in the studio, and how to deal with the unexpected.
🧊 Then Chill with us, where our favorite beagle surrenders to the power of music.

Learn
Let’s explore a teaching concept.
You take your Pilates clients on a movement journey in every class or session you teach. A playlist can be the musical inspiration, or soundtrack, for that journey. Watch this video to learn how to craft the perfect playlist for your Pilates class!
In the video, we talk about where to look for great music. It’s a little different if you’re creating your own content. In that case, you want to look for royalty-free music. Here are links to some royalty-free music libraries.
Move
Move with us in this mini-class (10-20 minutes).
Crank the tunes and move to the beat of your own drum in this circuit-style class with Talese. Click for playlist.
Props: None, just you and your mat.
Grow
Boost your confidence and resilience with us.
You can come to class with the best class plan, a butt-kicking playlist, and a ready-to-rock attitude. But what about the stuff you can’t control?
Have you ever had to teach while a construction crew is drilling outside your window? Or maybe you teach in an open studio, where instructors often yell out their cues to be heard. Or maybe it drives you nuts when clients chat in class. Join us in this episode where we chat about noise in your teaching environment, and what you can do about it.
Chill
Come chill with us
Into the Groove
Enjoy this nostalgic clip where Snoopy shows us just how much music affects our movement and our mood. May this inspire you to play your favorite song and groove.
