In today’s episode of Scaling Wellness, I’m joined by someone many of you will already know (and adore!)… the incredible Lisa Bradshaw - aka Lisa B Pilates.

Lisa has been in the Pilates world for 30 years and is one of the most respected teacher-trainers in the industry. She runs her own academy, specialises in continuing education, and has taught everyone from brand-new teachers to fully fledged educators looking to deepen their craft.

And today… we’re having a real, honest conversation about what’s happening inside the Pilates industry right now.

Inside the episode, we explore:

✨ How Pilates transformed from a niche discipline into a long-term, stable career path

Lisa shares what it was like to teach in the 90s when most people couldn’t even pronounce the word Pilates - let alone build a business with it.

✨ Why so many teachers still struggle with confidence (even after years of experience)

We talk openly about why knowing the exercises isn’t enough… and why “the confidence comes from the doing.”

✨ The gap in modern teacher training - and why so many teachers feel underprepared

From two-week qualifications to “learn-it-in-a-weekend” courses, Lisa explains what’s missing, what’s worrying, and what she sees teachers actually need.

✨ The danger of social media for new teachers

We get into comparison, crop tops, and why the industry’s obsession with novelty is distracting teachers from what actually makes them great.

✨ The simple truth no one tells you: it’s not what you teach, it’s how you teach it

Lisa shares how depth, layering, timing, and true understanding make the difference - not the fancy stuff you see on Instagram.

✨ Why online teaching still feels weird… even for seasoned teachers

And yet why both Lisa and I still do it!

✨ What teachers can do to stay inspired and keep evolving

Including why regular practice and solid continuing education are essential for growth.

If you're a Pilates teacher, movement educator, or wellness professional this conversation is going to feel like a big exhale.
