I am really honored that Pilatesglossy has asked me to blog for them. A blog can be anything, really, that the writer wants it to be, but evidently the more specific you are, the more apt people will be to read, and come back to read again. Also, they are supposed to be a more […]

Making the muscles longer!
When walking outside after today’s lesson, I felt so great. My body was feeling as ‘’one’’, it felt complete. My walking improved comparing to when I walked in. Pilates did it again!Making the muscles longer! I am trying to make my muscles longer and stronger, so that my way of walking will improve. To make […]
The Whole Body Needs to WORK!
Pilates is a Full Body exercise! The whole body needs to WORK! This week’s training at Marjolein’s studio was all about ‘working the whole body!’’. That’s what I love about Pilates, you do not just train one particular muscle, your full body is working. For example the Frog and Leg circles on the Reformer; it is […]
Steps in the snow
Here in Holland snow is not really snow….it is a very small layer of only 1 or 2 cm snow if you are ‘’lucky’’ and the snow usually turns to ice so it gets really slippery. I am walking with walking sticks on a normal day, so these ‘’snowy’’ days mean I need to look […]
The Pilates Teaser Exercise

Almost every exercise, including the Roll Up and Open Leg Rocker, which is done in the mat series up until this point, prepares you to perform the Teaser. The Teaser is one of the definitive Pilates moves […]

Down side is if you lack in these areas it will show! A successful conference is great for all involved – your team […]
A very big loss for the European Macrobiotic Community
Adelbert Nelissen (1948 – 2014) Yesterday I received the sad news that Adelbert Nelissen died unexpectedly on september 6th 2014 of heart failure. Probably it was also caused by over fatigue, because Adelbert worked continuously for more then 30 years for Macrobiotics. Day and night he was there to help people if they needed his […]
Because you’re worth it!
I hope I am not making people angry and I hope I don’t offend anybody -that is not my intention- but I am passionate about Pilates and it sometimes upset me that clients think Pilates is expensive. I wish they knew that a good Pilates class is worth every eurocent! In the Netherlands people seem to feel guilty […]
Romana Kryzanowska
Romana Kryzanowska was born into a very artistic family on June 30th 1923, in a town near Detroit. She always remained the only child in the family. Without a doubt Romana was the one who remained most loyal of all so called “Elders” to Joseph and Clara Pilates. Unfortunately Romana died in her sleep, on […]
