Some of the topics discussed in the first FCM were:

• Balancing life & work

In this episode of the Pilates 101 Podcast, Glenn introduces our new co-host, Kristina Holding. Kristina shares her inspiring career journey and her exciting role as International Relations Manager. In part two, we chat with our APPI India partner, Moushumi Kuvawala, diving into the world of Pilates in India and how her journey began.

Episode 8 - Wellness, breathwork, kids mental health and interview with Unite Health Founder Sarah Todd

Welcome to the February edition of Pilates 101.

In this month’s podcast we review the APPI’s wellness day program, explore the importance of breath work, take a little practical session on breathing, focus on children’s mental health week and have a great interview with Sarah Todd, one of the industry’s most successful businesswomen.

Sarah started out in corporate health in Australia, then moved to the UK and joined us at APPI as head of education. Sarah progressed to help us set up the product business from scratch, and then moved back to Australia to take over the Australian License of APPI Education. In doing so she started her own business, Unite Health, and has grown this into one of the industry’s most formidable business in the Southern Hemisphere.

An absolutely inspirational person, a bottle of positivity and energy and a great example to everyone about how hard work, determination and self-belief can lead you on a path to great success.

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Sarah and think you will all gain so much from her story.
