Fresh off a strong launch week, Jessica dives deep into a topic she's touched on before but unpacks fully here: why she trains every EYT teacher to never cue the inhale. Drawing from her experience training licensees and master teachers from a range of backgrounds, she breaks down the full reasoning behind her breath-cueing philosophy. Then she shifts to a bigger question for teachers and studio owners alike — who is actually running your business, and are you giving away your leadership without realizing it?
In This Episode:
Launch Week Recap: Jessica reflects on Chat EYT's strong debut numbers and what's ahead for the weekly show
Why She Never Cues the Inhale: A full breakdown of her "cardinal rule" — inhalation is instinct and doesn't need prompting, but exhalation does
The Lightheadedness Problem: Why rhythmic inhale/exhale cueing in a dynamic practice like Pilates can create dizziness, unlike held poses in yoga
Exhale as the Gas Pedal: Why exhalation — not inhalation — is what activates the abdominal connection and "gives permission" for the body to move
The Round Back Demo: A live teaching example showing how repeated exhale cues (without ever saying "inhale") keep clients from cheating the movement with their feet
Who's Really Running Your Business? Jessica challenges teachers and studio owners to examine whether they're making decisions based on their own judgment — or quietly handing leadership over to demanding clients, competitor pricing, landlords, or even their own teachers
The Diner vs. The Artisan Grilled Cheese: A metaphor for choosing whether to meet clients exactly where they are or elevate the experience, even if it means losing the clients who aren't the right fit
Pricing Is Not a Popularity Vote: Why studio owners need to set prices based on real overhead numbers, not what the competition charges or what teachers think clients will tolerate
Chat EYT Update: More on the AI mentor tool built entirely from Jessica's own teaching content, seminars, and office hours — available for a free trial at chateyt.com
