Summary
In this episode of The Inside Edit, Maeve sits down with her longtime friend Shannon Nadj, founder of Hot Pilates in West Hollywood and the powerhouse behind one of LA’s most loved boutique fitness studios. Shannon shares her journey from discovering Pilates in her early career, to developing the Hot Pilates method long before heated workouts were mainstream. She opens up about building a business from scratch, keeping her studio relevant for over a decade, the mindset behind becoming a trusted teacher to some of the most well-known women in LA, and how the pandemic transformed her business model. Shannon also speaks about navigating love, motherhood, and co-parenting in a way that prioritizes peace, healing, and gratitude - and how movement has remained a grounding tool through every season of life.
