Joan Blum ~ Perfection and Performance

Send us a text


Perfection in life is a double edged sword. Perfection can lead
to excellence and mastery, but it can also lead to obsession and
anxiety. In the Pilates community, there is not only a hint of
perfectionism but an element of performing, as if on a stage in
front of an audience. Joan Blum, our guest, is a 25-year Pilates
veteran and former professional dancer. I’ve asked Joan to share
her thoughts about the need to be perfect and the need to perform
which sadly is often encouraged in different sectors of the
Pilates industry. This episode touches on First Generation
Pilates teacher, Jay Grimes who recently passed away and who
contributed so much in helping to maintain the Contrology
system.
