This past weekend I attended Revelry, the professional NYC cannabis convention. I went for 3.5 hours to do a very targeted networking session (there were over 200 brands there). I spoke with over 30 brands - about 1 every 6 minutes - and left with 18 new contacts who are interested in discussing partnerships.

In my quest to support Pilates teachers (and clients) from all lineages, I've come up with some simple ways to help everyone organize Pilates exercises so that both teaching and learning are easier.

Mnemonic devices (like "i before e, except after c") are what I use. In this episode I explain what they are and how to use them to make your life easier.
