Depending on who you speak to, there were different interpretations. For me as a Black Pilates instructor with 15 years’ experience, this whole article was full of racist & exclusive epithets. With Pilates studios like <a href="https://www.thefitinbedstuy.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">The Fit In Bedstuy</a>, and <a href="https://www.pilatesbarreandjams.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Pilates Barre & Jams</a> who serve Black/Brown communites of all abilites, gender expressions etc as well <a href="https://www.blackgirlpilates.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Black Girls Pilates®️</a> an instructor collective (founded by me), I am unsure why this exclusive only studio got this much press but I digress.
