Kathy was intense. The best line I've ever heard was once this woman said "My friendship with Kathy Grant was hard won. Every friendship Kathy had was hard won." And it's true man. It was a privilege to be a part of her life and world and a friend. And it was not without a price. But you know what, I'd pay it all again and I think so would most people.

What do Satchmo, Kathy Grant, donuts, Hawaii and Modern Pilates all have in common? Blossom Leilani Crawford. Obviously ;)

This podcast is one of those shows that will make you giggle, make you feel like it's good to be alive, re-inspire you to be true to yourself, light a fire under your ass, and give you a rich perspective on our Pilates history.

You'll be guided down a hilarious and powerful road traveled by two women: one who helped carve a place for Pilates in the modern world and one who continues to do so while marching to the beat of her own...(I just keep thinking: the beat of her own Reformer springs? 100s breath?) I guess I'll have to stop trying to be clever and simply say "to the beat of her own drum" because that's what I really mean.

Another wonderful conversation in the TPP Season 2 series. We know you're going to enjoy this lighthearted yet profound conversation AND that it's not only going to make you feel more connected to what you do but also downright good in general. This is the best kind of sh*t to put out into the world.

Listen. Feel good. Smile. Then share.

About Blossom

Blossom was a Kathy Grant acolyte. She wasn't the only one, but what she did for, with, and after Kathy certainly set her apart. She's a teacher (always inspired - her words), a creator, a mom, a friend, a donut connoisseur, an educator, a seeker (we like those type) and so much more. She's the owner of Bridge Pilates in Brooklyn, NY and a major contributor to the field.

Blossom is up to many things cool, but one thing in particular we wanted to share with you...

3D Pilates

3D Pilates is a collaboration between two movement nerds: Blossom Leilani Crawford CPT, second generation Pilates teacher, and Marshall Hagins, PhD, PT.

Upcoming Class: Spinal Symmetry

In this two-part course Marshall Hagins and Blossom Crawford will teach you how to see and improve spinal symmetry in three planes using novel cues within the Pilates environment.
