Shelly Knight-Jones

Our guest today Shelly Knight Jones, creator of the Knight Technique and Pilates Barre workouts has been through an experience none of us would wish on any woman. In 2022, Shelly was diagnosed with DCIS Stage zero breast cancer and thinking it not such a big deal, went on with her life. But Shelly learned soon after her diagnosis that she needed a lumpectomy. During the procedure, they discovered the pea sized lump was larger than anticipated and when the pathology report revealed non-clean margins, with the advice of her doctor, she made the decision to have a double mastectomy. Today, Shelly is 2 years clean and thankfully, she’s healed remarkably well. Though still passionate about Pilates and her other fitness endeavors, Shelly’s approach to teaching has changed.

Darien’s Podcast is a library filled with episodes helping to preserve the Pilates legacy.

What our listeners are saying.

  • I just heard July 16 podcast with Kevin and Pat. Yeah, I am still cheering. They articulated Joe's gift to us so correctly and that I’ve felt and taught these past 65 years. Thank you so much!

    Anna Shaffer, Joe Pilates student and First Generation teacher

  • Hello! I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. You do such a great job, allowing your guests to tell their story and you interview them well to draw out details while still letting them take the lead. It truly is a skill thank you for all you do to keep that going. Hope you had a great summer and I really do plan to join one of your monthly classes again. Thank you for continuing to keep me on your newsletter, even though I don’t always participate. One of these days my schedule will match up

    Yoly Novak, Pilates teacher

  • My students enjoyed learning about my journey and thought the questions were fantastic. Some were really inspired that I take a multifaceted approach to Pilates. My parents (especially my dad) thought you were so incredible and they loved your style. My dad was surprised that you are a Pilates Instructor and not in broadcasting for a living.

    Carrie Miller, Pilates educator


  • Darien, I came late to the Gold podcast party and only discovered your show about a month ago... It's a great offering to Pilates teachers and enthusiasts, I hope more people find it! I think you have refreshing, insightful, and engaging conversations with some inspirational guests in the Pilates field. I feel it helps me as a teacher to connect to a community that feels far away at times! (I'm UK based). Thank you Darien for this wonderful resource, and I look forward to enjoying more of it. Congratulations on the new season...

    Niki Shokar, Pilates teacher

  • I can’t wait to hear this!! I enjoy every one of your podcasts, Darien. From them I have learned so much and broadened my Pilates perspective. So much I would not have known. Thank you so much for your podcasts.

  • Your podcast has helped me continue my research and seek further education for my Pilates journey since my training was a contemporary approach to the Pilates Method. You are so clever, light and informative and I always research more about your guest to learn more. You are incredible! Thank you for All Things Pilates and all that you do for our community!

  • I am newer to Pilates and learning to be an instructor through a STOTT Pilates training center. I’ve just discovered your radio show/podcast through Apple Podcasts. I think I’ve listened to 10 episodes in the last few days. I’m absolutely loving every episode and will be listening to the entire series. You are a great interviewer and the guests are awesome. I’m learning a lot and thought I’d send you a note to say how much I appreciate All Things Pilates! Take good care and keep at it!

    Amber L., Pilates student

  • Hi Darien - I just discovered your podcast yesterday and wanted to say thank you. So far I’ve listened to your interviews with the new owners of Gratz and Blossom. Back to binging. Have a great weekend.

    Kira Lamb, Pilates Teacher

  • Hi Darien, I have been working my way through your podcast starting in 2019 and I just wanted to tell you how much I love it. Each guest is more interesting than the next and I find it fascinating. You are very talented. Can’t wait for the next season! I loved your interview with Reiner Grootenhuis when my Pilates teacher Clare Dunphy received a shout out. I started out listening by cherry picking what I thought would be the most interesting but I’ve found that some of the guests who were unfamiliar to me are also fascinating. Thank you for providing this 😀! How do I become a subscriber?

    Barbara McKay, Pilates student

  • Gwen Miller! (S5 Ep81) I'm listening to your interview on All Things Pilates. You’re amazing and inspirational!! 💕😞

    Clare Sitzer, Pilates student

  • Susan Temkin (S6 Ep105) I enjoyed this podcast very much. I do take Pilates and have a wonderful principal Instructor. At the moment I am recovering from major neck surgery. I am limited on my exercises. I know I can do some of the Pilates exercises by lying on the floor or standing against the wall. Yes please sign me up to All things Pilates. I want to be that engine driving that Mercedes or BMW. My name is Laurence and I am 64 yr old. I have been taking Pilates since 2018. My goal is to never stop working on my Pilates exercises and try to keep growing. Pilates has helped my golf ⛳️ game.

  • Gareth Cornwall S6 Ep100 - Dear Darien, Congratulations on your 100th episode of All Things Pilates! What a milestone you have achieved. I enjoy every single episode you have made. I just learned your podcasts have been aired in 70+ countries. Your impact is immense. The whole Pilates world owes you a gold medal. I look forward to your next episode and many more after. Congratulations again!

    Li Ma-Scholz, Pilates teacher

  • What I really appreciate is how engaging and informative the episodes are – so much so that I've found myself listening to a few multiple times. Each time, I pick up on little gems I missed before, which makes each listen feel fresh and rewarding. Whether you're a Pilates newbie or a seasoned practitioner, there's something for everyone in these episodes. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enrich their Pilates practice!

    Lynn Grandjean - Pilates studio owner

  • Hi Darien, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned from your amazing podcast. It is endless the amount of research and learning we can do on our own if we have the correct guidance.  The new Gratz owners podcast is incredible. So wonderful that they have the goal of 2 week production time. Hopefully they can make it happen. Maybe it’s a 5 year business plan ;) Your interviews are so smart and interesting. I always long for the next one!

It's a refreshing change to hear so many different aspects of Pilates explored, from techniques and philosophies to personal stories and expert advice.

  • Something different for September, Darien Gold and her podcast: All Things Pilates. An acclaimed instructor herself, Darien hosts a wide range of guests, from those who worked with JP, to contemporary leaders of our industry. This is an excellent resource for students and professionals to listen to.

    R/Pilates, Pilates Instructor

  • Darien is a consummate Interviewer and podcast host on the topic of All Things Pilates! I enjoyed Footwork with Ms. Cortrone as well as your interview with Blossom Crawford. You elicited a lot of info from Blossom, much of it quite personal . This is, dare I say it, GOLDen!! Thank you and please keep it up!
