It’s a cultural practice, a pedagogical lineage, and a mirror to the wellness industry’s values. Pilates PSA is a public service announcement for our practice and profession. Hosted by Heather Erdmann, this podcast is where expertise meets ethics, and history informs pedagogy. Each episode features solo deep-dives or conversations with educators and historians who refuse to separate craft from conscience. We tackle unspoken industry questions: building anti-racist, DEIA-centered studios; standing in solidarity with Palestine and marginalized communities; and challenging extractive certification cultures while honoring historical roots. Here, integrity isn’t optional—it’s foundational. New episodes bi-weekly. Full show notes, cited research, and actionable resources linked in every feed.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T04:17:32.292562+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pilates-psa-7884254"},"episode":{"title":"Pilates PSA with Sonja Herbert, Black Girl Pilates Founder","slug":"pilates-psa-with-sonja-herbert-black-girl-pilates-founder","published_at":"2026-05-27T23:10:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pilates-psa-7884254/pilates-psa-with-sonja-herbert-black-girl-pilates-founder","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pilates-psa-7884254","url":"https://pilatespsa.podbean.com/e/pilates-psa-with-sonja-herbert-black-girl-pilates-founder/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/yxwbff4pv3xu9ach/PPSAP_-_Sonja.mp3","summary":"Pilates isn’t just a workout.
