World, meet the invincible, incredible Marco. If you take the time to hear all that he's saying in the 14 short minutes, nothing will ever be the same. I promise. And so does Marco.

You have one, it's good to know how to work it.

In the PMA's April 15th newsletter, Executive Director Elizabeth Anderson's column represents an oblique response to my March email calling into question the rerouting of a non-profit PMA asset through the for-profit website of the cyber sponsor. In Elizabeth's column, she goes beyond the references cited and sets out an expanded definition of unprofessional behavior and through that expanded definition, qualifies my March email as unprofessional.

In this video, I break down the points made on both sides of this issue and provide examples using the May 2nd Facebook and blog post of a well-known, research-based political analyst AND an April 25th Opinion Page article from the New York Times, both of which identically mirror the type of analysis I set forth in my March email and neither of which are considered, in the real world, to be unprofessional.

Unless and until an organization can fund itself beyond the influence of its own bedmates, the FAA, our government and the PMA will be subject to the biases of its wealthiest supporters.

The link at the end of the video to Elizabeth's column is too blurry to use so here it is: pilatesmethodalliance.org/i4a/pages/Index.cfm?pageID=3439

Here's the link to the NYT piece: nytimes.com/2013/04/26/opinion/a-back-seat-for-safety-at-the-faa.html?_r=0

Seat belts, please.

People, please, please. Watch, read the study and share with everyone you know who gets cracked. And when the camera stopped rolling, I heard two horrendous stories of the dangerous results - from loss of vision to fatal stroke - of cervical spine "adjustments." If your teacher training program did not include this information, you are not prepared to teach safely. Period.

And if you can stand it, watch this to see a bunch of chiropractic "adjustments" : youtube.com/watch?v=BJQfT9C5Adc&feature=youtu.be

During Marketable Mat | FUSION workshop in mid-March 2013, some really important questions were asked about the the performance of Pilates and in answer to the questions, I launched into this 45 minute lecture on the safety of flexion, how to minimize lumbar flexion when performing sit ups, the whys and dangers of imprinting especially with respect to inversions (HUGE SAFETY CONCEPT), the right to repertoire (HUGE IMPORTANT CONCEPT), how to identify hackers, progression theory (HUGE IMPORTANT CONCEPT) and why and how clients make you complicit in the fraud they're committing on themselves. Whew!

In all the video I've posted, I don't there there's another 45 minutes that's as important-content-dense as this. I hope you enjoy it and as always, thank you for watching.
