Dancers and celebrities love Pilates—which gives the impression that Pilates can give you their physiques.
In short: A lot of dancers do Pilates, a lot of Pilates instructors are dancers, and the woman who more or less codified classical Pilates was a dancer, as well. There is a correlation here between “dancers’ bodies” and Pilates, but correlation does not equal causation.

To Help Your Team Grow, Give Them Space to StruggleWhen you see an employee struggling with a task you could do easily, it’s only natural to want to step in and help. But from the other side, this can feel more like micromanagement than support. And when leaders over-function by keeping too much work for themselves, they allow those around them to under-function. We all know how important it is to delegate — both to help employees grow and to create a more collaborative, empowered, productive team. How can you get better at this key leadership skill? First, shift from a doer to a leader mindset. Second, embrace the discomfort of the learning process. Third, identify low-stakes tasks that are less risky to delegate.
