The truth has been out for a long time - exercise is good for MS and other neurological conditions. But of all of the programs suggested for us, how many of them really know what it's like to live with MS?

My guest today is Mariska Breland. She was a video producer living a very high-stress life when she was diagnosed with MS at the age of 27. She started doing Yoga and Pilates and eventually began teaching Pilates, ultimately turning it into her full-time job.

Mariska has created multiple neuroscience and exercise workshops, including Pilates for MS (now expanded and taught as Pilates for Neurological Conditions). She is also the co-founder of the Neuro Studio, a Pilates studio focusing on people with neurological conditions, and has even invented her own fitness and rehabilitation equipment!

Topics covered in this episode include:

Why Mariska decided to focus her business on teaching a type of Pilates that is particularly useful for people with MS and other neurological conditions
How Mariska's exercise program differs from other MS exercise programs - down to the fact that her methods have been supported by national MS Society in the US and UK and are currently undergoing clinical trials at the University of Colorado
Kathy's own experiences with Pilates
How to find out more about Mariska and her work
