Jaime White is the epitome of a powerhouse: always on the move, making people move, deepening her studies, and making a ruckus in the Pilates industry and beyond. She has owned studios, co-founded Pure Body Teacher Training, and runs training and mentorship programs. Somewhere in there, she was able to join us on set for 360° Pilates Online and can be seen in many of the catalog’s videos.
Share one memorable moment from being on set with us.
This was one of my most favorite Pilates experiences, we all had such a blast during the filming. The funniest and oddest moment was staring into what we called “the abyss”, the big white infinity wall at the film studio, when I was filming on the Pedipole. You could see absolutely nothing but endless white space, no ceiling or floor… I almost went cross-eyed and we were all laughing so hard.
Oh, and there’s the Opposite Arm Circles on the Spine Corrector. I couldn’t get the movement right and we ended up shooting it for probably 10 minutes before we got it. My face is so serious because I was focusing so hard on getting the movement right and trying not to burst out laughing. I am so glad we got it and incredibly grateful to 360° Pilates for creating this incredible resource for teachers students and enthusiasts.
What’s your spirit Pilates exercise and why?
Swan on the Wunda Chair or Ladder Barrel. They are the perfect balance of strength, flexibility, grace, and breath. It feels so liberating and my personality matches that feeling which is intense but free-flowing.
I love Pilates because…
… it is an incredible system of non-stop experiential learning of your body, mind, and spirit and how they are all connected. It is a great teacher of those three and it is so versatile. How you do Pilates is how you do everything! Through the discipline and practice of Pilates comes freedom.
