Amy Rost, Founder of Arc Pilates, joins Joy for a powerful conversation on building real community through Pilates education and events. She shares how to create inclusive Pilates spaces that feel like home, how to create a community if you can’t find one you feel you belong in, and how connection can be an antidote to loneliness and burnout in the wellness industry. Together, we explore the shift from an individualistic to a collectivistic mindset, where belonging, collaboration, and service to the greater good become the foundation for sustainable impact in Pilates instruction and community wellness.
Guided by Amy’s north star: connection, collaboration, community, this episode is an invitation to build something bigger than yourself. If you’re interested in Pilates community building, creating welcoming movement spaces, or developing educational programs that foster genuine connection, this conversation offers practical insights for building lasting community impact.
