The Pilates Lounge Episode explores menopause's impact on women's health. Angela Counsel, a naturopath, kinesiologist, and mindset coach, joins Katie Crane for an insightful discussion.
Angela explains menopause as starting the day after 12 months without a period, emphasizing its individuality and transition duration. She discusses hormonal shifts during menopause, focusing on progesterone and estrogen decline and related symptoms.
Tailored health strategies based on genetic profiles are crucial. Stress impacts weight management and hormone balance significantly during menopause. Chronic stress can overload adrenal glands, affecting hormone production. Building muscle is vital as women age, with tailored exercise intensity.
Quality sleep aids muscle recovery and hormone regulation. Crafting a personalized exercise and nutrition plan is key.
Takeaways
Menopause is the day when a woman hasn't had a period for 12 months, but the transition leading up to menopause can take many years and varies for each individual.
Hormonal changes during menopause include the decline of progesterone and estrogen, which can lead to symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and unexplained weight gain.
Personalized health approaches based on individual genetic profiles can help women navigate menopause and make informed choices about their diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
Understanding and embracing the changes that occur during menopause can empower women to take control of their health and well-being during this stage of life. Chronic stress can hinder weight loss by increasing cortisol levels and promoting fat storage.
During menopause, the adrenal glands take over hormone production, but chronic stress can disrupt this process.
Building muscle is important for women as they age, but the type and intensity of exercise should be tailored to individual health types.
Sleep plays a crucial role in muscle repair and hormone production.
Embracing one's unique body type and lifestyle is key to finding the right exercise and nutrition regimen.
Understanding and embracing the changes that occur during menopause can empower women to take control of their health and well-being during this stage of life. If you're experiencing symptoms of menopause or want to learn more about how to navigate this transition, consider consulting with a healthcare professional or seeking support from a qualified coach like Angela Council.

In this special episode of the Pilates Lounge, host Katie Crane sits down with a remarkable guest, Mary Bowen, a 95-year-old Pilates practitioner and one of the last recognized Pilates elders. Instead of a traditional interview format, Mary requests a casual conversation, leading to an intimate and engaging exchange.
Mary shares her journey into Pilates, sparked by a newspaper article in 1959 that depicted Joseph Pilates as a strong lion, which resonated with her back troubles. She became a student of Joseph and Clara Pilates, eventually becoming an instructor after a decade of dedicated practice.
Despite initially pursuing an entertainment career and later psychoanalysis, Mary's passion for Pilates never waned. At the age of 40, she began her Pilates journey, eventually blending her expertise in psychoanalysis with Pilates to offer a unique service she calls "Pilates and psych."
Reflecting on her early encounters learning Pilates from Joe and Clara Pilates, Mary delves into the ethos of self-discovery and personal evolution. Exploring various psychological typologies and their correlation with the mind and body, she advocates for embracing individuality and creativity within Pilates practice.
Emphasizing personalized instruction and self-exploration in Pilates, Mary advocates for each individual to forge their distinct path in the discipline, with creativity as the cornerstone. She delves into the diverse psychological typologies and their intersection with Pilates, urging instructors to observe and empower their clients to discover their unique journey.
Mary envisions a future for Pilates where individuals continue to embark on self-discovery and growth, steering clear of a one-size-fits-all approach.
Key Points of the Episode:
Working from home during the pandemic allowed Mary to continue teaching and connecting with her clients.
Mary combines her expertise in Pilates and psychology to provide a holistic approach to her teaching.
Dreams are a valuable tool for self-discovery and learning from the unconscious.
Each individual has their own unique typology and should embrace their creativity in their Pilates practice. Individualized teaching and self-discovery are essential in Pilates.
Creativity is key in developing a unique approach to the practice.
Observation and listening are important skills for teachers to help clients find their own way.
The typographies of the psyche (thinking, feeling, sensing, intuiting) play a role in how individuals approach Pilates.
The future of Pilates lies in the exploration and development of each individual's unique path.
Join us in embracing a holistic approach to self-discovery and growth with Pilates! Inspired by the wisdom of 95-year-old instructor Mary Bowen, we're advocating for a personalized journey in Pilates, where creativity flourishes and individuality shines.
During this episode, we learned the power of combining Pilates with psychology, unlocking a deeper understanding of ourselves through movement and introspection. Now, it's time to take action!

“So this is where I think of the psoas as a core muscle or as part of the core. It's not so much part of the core, you know like I think of the transfer sabs, the pelvic floor, and the rectus abs and obliques.

“So Pain is a positive thing. Pain is the body's way of communicating so that we stay alive.”-Katie Crane
In today's episode of The Pilates Lounge, we share a chapter straight out of life's complex book—dealing with the psychology of pain. Pilates isn't just a fitness fad; it's a gateway to a life less dominated by discomfort. Navigate this terrain with me, a friend who's trodden the path from pain to empowerment.
I remember a client, like so many of you, caught in the throes of chronic pain. Her story isn’t a mere chronicle of struggles, but a testament to human resilience. We all know pain, don't we? It crashes into lives, uninvited, and sets up camp. But here’s what it didn’t account for—her indomitable spirit.
I'm no stranger to that ache that seems to have roots, reaching deep and holding fast. Once upon a time, I was entwined in its relentless grip. Chronic back pain was my unwelcome shadow. But as fate would have it, in Pilates, I found a sliver of light that grew into my sunshine. That's the beauty of discovery—it often happens when you least expect it.
Pilates is not just a practice; it’s a dance of the mind with the body—a harmonious ballet that whispers to your soul. It’s my passion to guide you towards this dance, to a place where you reclaim the joy of movement. It’s where the physical mingles with the emotional and psychological, culminating in a symphony of well-being.
My personal pilgrimage blooms into the tales of those who walk with me. Every stretch, every breath, every intentional motion is a step closer to mastery over our own stories written in sinew and skin. Through Pilates, we find not just relief, but a voice. A powerful assertion that says, "This body is mine."
Listeners, this is your invitation to explore—beyond the bind of pain—how movement can be medicine, and how Pilates can be a conduit to a more vibrant existence. Whether you're an aficionado or just dipping your toes into the world of mindful exercise, this heart-to-heart aims to kindle a flame of understanding and pursuit of holistic well-being.
Curious? Ready for a change? Join us for an intimate voyage where we unravel the sheer potential of Pilates. It’s more than just healing; it's about wielding the baton in the opus of your life.
Every episode is forged with a blend of my experience, the shared experiences of our spirited community, and a dash of that Pilates magic. I can’t wait to have you with us, dancing along to the rhythm of healing movements. 'Til then, move joyfully and live fully!

"Good form means that our clients are safe." -KATIE CRANE
In this episode of the Pilates Lounge, I delved into the topic of form in Pilates and its significance in teaching and practicing the discipline. The discussion stemmed from a viral reel on Instagram that sparked a debate on the importance of form. I explored the definition of form, emphasizing its role in configuring classes, improving movement, and creating a positive experience for clients.
I highlighted the subjective nature of good form, tailored to individual bodies and goals. Good form, to me, is about observing, listening, and proactively working with each client to enhance their Pilates experience.
I underscored the connection between good form, control, safety, and the ability to add complexity to exercises. Ultimately, I stressed the importance of upholding industry standards, providing quality education, and fostering a community of dedicated Pilates instructors.
Through my mentorship programs and workshops, I aim to equip aspiring instructors with the necessary skills to uphold the principles of Pilates and carry the torch for future generations. J

“I'm always looking at the relationship between these arches or these domes and in my eyes or my mind, I'm always connecting the domes or the arches above and below the issue that they may be presenting with." Katie Crane
In this episode of The Pilates Lounge, I delve into the fascinating topic of the arches in the body and their relationship to posture and movement. I have always found this subject intriguing, as it allows me to explore the body in unique ways and uncover underlying issues and idiosyncrasies in my clients.
Many people come to Pilates to improve their posture or strengthen their core. While these outcomes can be achieved through Pilates, it is not simply a matter of actively fixing posture or targeting core muscles. Instead, Pilates teaches the body to move well in all ranges of motion and capabilities, naturally leading to improved posture and core strength.
This episode serves as a reminder of the beauty of Pilates and its emphasis on the arches in the body. By understanding and working with these arches, we can address a wide range of issues and help clients move forward in their Pilates journey.

"Flow is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter." -Katie Crane
In this episode of The Pilates Lounge, host Katie Crane explores the transformative power of the sixth Pilates principle – flow.
Defined as a state of complete immersion, flow in Pilates involves integrating foundational principles like breath, centering, concentration, control, and precision.
Drawing from personal experiences in surfing and the research of psychologist Mihaly, Katie illustrates the parallels between finding flow in various activities and within the Pilates practice.
Beyond productivity, achieving flow in Pilates leads to heightened muscle control, seamless exercise transitions, and a profound connection with the body.

Breathing is such a fundamental aspect of our lives, and it plays a crucial role in our Pilates practice as well. In this episode, we explore the physiology of breathing, how it affects our energy levels, and the mechanics of breathing during movement. We also discuss the importance of breath in facilitating the connection of our deep core muscles.
I believe that movement is one of the key factors in teaching people to breathe better. By incorporating movement into our practice, we can improve our breath and enhance our overall well-being. I share my insights on how to approach breath in Pilates and offer tips on when to focus on breath during exercises.
But that's not all! In this episode, I also touch on the other Pilates principles we've covered so far, including centering, concentration, control, and precision. These principles work together to create a holistic Pilates experience that benefits the mind, body, and soul.
