This week we welcome Mary Peacock to the pod.  After years of weight training and pursuing the traditional fitness path, Mary found that she was just not doing her body justice. In 1999, she began dabbling in Pilates and a year later was studying in studios across the U.S. with trainers from all over the world. Mary trained for over a decade under Romana Kryzanowska, her daughter Sari, and granddaughter, as well as Romana’s carefully selected Master Teachers and Teachers. She has also studied with Jay Grimes and Kathryn Ross-Nash.  As a teacher, Mary takes pride in obtaining and maintaining the Original Teachings of Joseph Pilates as it has been passed on to her from many teachers.  In this interview, we get honest about ALL of the elements that we face as teachers in training, after training and then some.  You'll hear and maybe commiserate with us as we have a completely unfiltered conversation about our own experiences going through teacher training, our relationships with our mentors as well as our staff.
