Summary
On today’s episode I am talking with celebrity pilates instructor, Amanda Kassar. We start off discussing how her husband encouraged her to leave her demanding job and do something she was passionate about – ultimately leading her to start her own pilates practice. Going to her classes and most recently her wellness retreat, I have witnessed first-hand Amanda’s knowledge and expertise when it comes to understanding the human body and how she truly cares about everyone who takes her classes. Throughout the episode we talk about creating fitness habits that you can stick with, the benefits of pilates during pregnancy, how and what you should be eating to maintain healthy weight loss, and so much more. Enjoy!
