Ep23: Cheryl Burgess & Ava Rodriguez, The Pilates Expo

Welcome to the Pilates Diaries Podcast.In this episode, we're joined by Cheryl Burgess and Ava Rodriguez.Cheryl and Ava together are heading up the team that is bringing The Pilates Expo to life in Sydney in May this year so I can't wait to hear all about what they've both got in store for us in this episode. Cheryl is managing director of Pilates Reformers Australia, ToeSox Australia, and Semprose Pilates and Fitness Studio in Smeaton Grange and Gregory Hills in Sydneys' southwest.Ava is the owner and director of The Mobility Fitness Academy and delivers regular trainings to movement teachers from as far and wide as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, America, Canada, and here in Australia.The mission of this podcast is to share the stories of the impact of Pilates to help you live and move with more joy, physical vitality, and renewed vigor.Pilates was a somewhat unknown word until it started creeping into conversation somewhere around the 2000s- maybe even before then depending on who you asked and amongst which circles, and has largely remained and enigma for many reasons- one of which perhaps is that Pilates really has to be experienced to be understood.There are now a wide range of Pilates styles available when you attend a Pilates class, perhaps borne from the variation of interpretations of how Pilates was originally taught by its founder, Joseph Pilates.With The Pilates Diaries Podcast we're inviting Pilates enthusiasts around the globe to share with us what they've noted down in their Pilates Diary.  Our hope is that the Pilates Diaries Podcast goes some way to answering the question " What is it that makes Pilates so special?"We'll take a privileged peek into the Pilates Diaries of our guests to gain a greater insight into the impact Pilates can have in all of our lives and contribute to the health and wellbeing of the community at large.I welcome you along for the journey and welcome your comments and discussions through the links found on your favorite podcast platform.

Welcome to the seventh episode of this special short season of The Pilates Diaries Podcast created to support and promote the rebuilding of the business of industry colleague and long term Pilates teacher, Kimberley Garlick. Kimberley's studio business, Northern Rivers Pilates in Lismore was completely submerged in the devastating floods that tore through the region in February and March earlier this year. In pursuit of getting their business back on its feet, Kimberley has reached out to her extensive industry network and along with studio manager and daughter, Madison have created the Teach to Preach Retreat that will run at their studio in Lismore, November 4th to 6th this year.On this episode Kimberley welcomes her mother and fellow Pilates practitioner Heather Roudenko. With previous careers in management, sales, and marketing and nursing, Heather has been a lifelong health and fitness enthusiast. Heather is trained in Reiki, Gyrokinesis as well as Pilates and has been teaching since 1999. Heather, especially enjoys teaching the Pilates and pregnancy programs, including communicating with all walks of life and seeing that as an invaluable asset to teaching Pilates effectively. Heather is the mother of Kimberly Garlick the owner of Northern Rivers Pilates and they have been working together since 1999 in the Pilates world. Heather currently teaches on the Gold Coast, keeping herself busy with upwards of 10 classes a week, which is no mean feat for a 76 year old and Kimberly is happy to admit Heather still does a better teaser than her.
