About The Pilates Exchange
The Pilates Exchange explores the art and philosophy of Pilates alongside evidence-based exercise science. Through thought-provoking conversations, practical teaching insights, and healthy debate, we challenge assumptions, question industry trends, and encourage a deeper understanding of movement.
Our mission is to empower Pilates teachers, movement professionals, and curious students to keep learning, think critically, and recognize the impact that great teaching can have on people's lives.
Hosted by Hannah Teutscher and rooted in the teaching philosophy of Performance Fit Pilates in Nürnberg, Germany, the podcast is about exchanging ideas, inspiring change, and helping people discover what's possible through movement.
Exchanging ideas and changing lives, one session at a time.
