Podcast Episode 122: 63 Minutes with Nancy Castiglioni, Who’s Merging Pilates, Travel and A Home Base of Panama Into One Of The Most Exciting Visions I’ve Ever Seen

There are a few things you should know about Nancy Castiglioni…

  1. She’s Argentinian {and brings a fiery passionate spirit into everything she does from Pilates to travel to motherhood}.
  2. She moved to the US when she was 17 without speaking a word of English {and has taken this adventurous Spirit around the world as she’s raised her children and built her career}.
  3. Her grandmother escaped Nazi Germany and settled in Argentina {and instilled in her a steady understanding that she could do…and overcome…anything}.
  4. She’s equally comfortable in stilettos and suits or pointe shoes {since she’s been dancing since she was 6 and spent her time in boardrooms before moving to the mat}.
  5. She started her Instagram feed a year and a half ago because when her daughter asked to set up an account {and now has almost 50K followers watching her daily Pilates and fitness videos}.
  6. She’s someone I could spend hours on the phone with {and weeks traveling with} and still find things to talk about because she’s so doggone fabulous.

This is one of the episodes that kept on going long after we actually finished, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to coax Nancy back on with me, but in the meantime, join us as we chat about:

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How it was love at first sight for Nancy when she was introduced to Pilates
  • The ways she’s been able to infuse other areas of fitness, like aquatics, with Pilates
  • How Nancy adapts the movements she teaches so that her students can perform them at home, with no gym required
  • What she learned from her grandparents and their inspirational story
  • How she’s built her Instagram following to 50k just by doing what she loves and connecting with others
