Welcome to the first episode of the Why Pilates Podcast — a clear, practical introduction to the Pilates method with Lisa Jackson (PAA Education Officer). Learn what Pilates really is (and isn’t), discover the six core principles that make it powerful, and get simple, real-world tips to start moving smarter — not harder.
In this introductory episode Lisa Jackson explains the true spirit of Pilates — a century-old movement system created by Joseph Pilates that combines breath, alignment and mindful control to restore resilient, functional movement. Lisa busts common myths (social-media Pilates vs the method), walks listeners through the six core principles — concentration, control, centering, precision, breath and flow — and gives practical guidance for getting the best results: work with a qualified teacher, start small, be consistent, and listen to your body. This episode closes with what to expect from the series and a preview that Robyn Rix, PAA President, will join in the next episode.
Key takeaways
Pilates is a whole-body movement method rooted in breath, alignment and control — not just flashy Reformer moves or fitness trends.
The six core Pilates principles: Concentration, Control, Centering, Precision, Breath, Flow — master these and the exercises deliver real, lasting results.
Quality over quantity: precision and intent trump speed and repetition — “start small and start smart.”
Recovery and variety matter — training every day at high intensity is not the answer; listen to your body.
