265. How to navigate the Pilates industry as a newcomer, with Gemma Downing and Natalie Wilson

Gemma Downing is a recent graduate of Breathe Education's pilates certification course. She and Natalie have a conversation about how she went from doing pilates classes on YouTube in her bedroom to becoming a pilates instructor and brick and mortar studio owner, and everything in between, including recovering her confidence after being shamed by another pilates professional, the changing landscape of the pilates industry, and what it's like to teach pilates as an introvert. Gemma is a true example of courage and perseverance.
