Pilates Soulful Sunday: A or B – Which Would You Choose?

A or B: Who you are in the room shapes how far you grow.

This Pilates Soulful Sunday, let’s pause for a moment of honest reflection.

Would you rather be:

• A – the richest person in a room full of the poor or

• B – the poorest person in a room full of the rich?

At first glance, it feels like a riddle. But when you sit with it, this simple choice reveals how we measure value, growth, and connection, not just in life but in our Pilates practice too.

Person A may feel powerful. They are the most experienced, the most accomplished, the one others look up to.But if the room is full of people who cannot inspire or challenge them, where do they go next?

Person B may feel vulnerable. They are the least experienced, the one still learning, still building confidence.But they are surrounded by wisdom, inspiration, and opportunity, a space rich in potential for growth.

So ask yourself, not just as a person but as a teacher:

• Are you putting yourself in rooms where you’re always A, already at the top?

• Or do you have the courage to be B, stepping into places that stretch you, challenge you, and refine your practice?

This isn’t about status. It’s about evolution.It’s easy to stay in comfort, repeating what you already know. But Pilates is a method of refinement, and refinement thrives in the presence of challenge, not comfort.

It’s like the glass half full metaphor, but let’s go deeper.It’s not just whether the glass is full or empty.It’s about what room that glass is in, who poured into it, and whether you're still learning to pour for yourself and others.

Being Person B means you are still becoming. Still listening. Still curious.And that’s where the richness of the method lives, not in being the best, but in being open to the best in others.

This Soulful Sunday, choose the room that challenges you.Choose the community that raises your game. Choose to be Person B if that means you’re growing, evolving, and staying Soulful.

Because one day, someone else will walk in as Person B.And you’ll be the reason they chose to stay.
