PSP E03 Pilates Science Podcast: Decoding Your Heart's Rhythm with Pilates
In this episode of the Pilates Science Podcast, hosts Bruce Hildebrand and PAA President Robyn Rix explore the fascinating world of heart rate variability (HRV) and what it can tell us about our health, stress levels and resilience. They unpack what HRV actually measures—the tiny variations in time between each heartbeat—and explain how these fluctuations reflect the dynamic balance between the sympathetic “gas pedal” and the parasympathetic “brake” of the autonomic nervous system. A healthy ...

PSP E04 Pilates Science Podcast: Pilates at an Angle
In this episode of the *Pilates Science Podcast*, hosts Bruce Hildebrand and PAA President Robyn Rix explore how simply changing the **angle** of the body can dramatically alter muscle activation in familiar Pilates exercises. Robyn begins by sharing her studio experience with the Total Gym Gravity Training System—initially assuming that a slight incline would make chest lifts easier, only to discover that they actually felt more challenging through the abdominals. That curiosity leads into a...

WPP Ep02 Why Pilates?: Robyn Rix Expert Interview
Robyn Rix, President of the Pilates Association Australia, joins Daniela DeFabio to trace Pilates back to Joseph Pilates and his early work in “Contrology,” then translates that history into clear, usable principles for listeners.

WPP Ep03 Why Pilates?: Let It Breathe - Diaphragm, Pelvis & the Pilates Ribcage
This episode delves into the often-overlooked power of breath in Pilates, focusing on diaphragmatic breathing and how it reconnects us to centre, calms the nervous system, and supports spinal function. Host Bruce Hildebrand unpacks why many people default to shallow, high chest breathing—especially under stress—and outlines the cascade of compensations that follow: tight necks and shoulders, braced abdominals, a rigid pelvis, and a pelvic floor that can’t rhythmically expand and contract. The...

WPP Ep05 Why Pilates?: Jen Guest Expert Interview
Jen Guest (Physiotherapist, senior Polestar educator and long-time PAA leader) joins Daniela Di Fabio to unpack the pelvic floor in practical, teacher-friendly terms. The conversation opens with clear anatomy — the pelvic floor as a diamond-shaped stack of muscles and connective tissue — and a concise breakdown of its five key functions: support of the pelvic organs, sphincteric control, sexual function, lymphatic/venous return and its role as the base of the core “cylinder” (with the diaphra...

WPP Ep04 Why Pilates?: Pilates Success Stories: Donna Bridge
In this episode Lisa Jackson sits down with Donna Bridge — a high-level rock climber, lifelong adventurer and soon-to-be 60-year-old who discovered Pilates just 18 months ago. Their conversation draws a vivid line between the demands of climbing and the principles of Pilates, showing how breath control, razor-sharp focus and embodied self-mastery translate between vertical rock faces and the studio mat. Donna’s story reframes Pilates not as a gentle add-on but as a performance-enhancing, mind...

S6 E7: The Corruption of Contrology
In this episode we dive head first into a thought-provoking article (compiled with the help of a range of AI tools) titled The Corruption of Contrology: How Egocentric Capitalism is Ripping the Heart Out of the Pilates Industry.
