Join John Steel for a unique insight into the public and private lives of Joseph and Clara Pilates. This is an edited recording of a talk John gave to Body Control Pilates teachers during one of the lockdowns in 2020 upon the publication of his book about Joe: 'The Caged Lion'. He not only describes life in the studio, but also draws on the perspective of effectively being a 'grandson' to Joe and Clara as he considers how Pilates has developed over recent decades.
