Pilates makes you flexible and strong and keeps you young!

Pilates is a intelligent, functional movement method invented by the genius Joseph Pilates. Pilates gives you a great, sweaty workout wich alignes, balances and corrects you, it makes you flexible and very strong at the same time. When it is offered as a complete system (wich means with workouts both on Pilates apparatus and mat) then it will change Body and Mind dramatically. It will keep you young, fit and fabulous to an old age!

Chance of a lifetime

Javier Velazquez

An education to gain from Pilates what you will share with your clients. Benefit from the method and learn it so well that you can become extremely proficient at it. All of it. It is not easy, but it is very rewarding. If you learn it all in a friendly atmosphere with very capable trainers, all the better.

If something is in the hands of Joseph de Ruso for more than five minutes chances are he is already thinking about redesigning it. It was no different with Pilates apparatus. Joseph streamlined all the Pilates Apparatus to use a singular material and construction method.

This is the second time I feature a story about Joseph de Ruvo. That is because I love his mindset and attitude towards Pilates. I give him the floor to let him tell you about how he approaches Pilates. Enjoy! Being in shape is not a measure of how “good” you look. It is not […]

Around the world, there are numerous facilities and venues that let you see the world while giving your body and mind a break. For this reason, fitness retreats have become all the range — and it’s not just reserved for yogis. If you’re looking to travel while maintaining your Pilates practice, consider these retreats with a side of cultural activities.

I know a teacher who loves all the latest Pilates Gizmos and gadgets. Her shelves are fit to burst with anything you can think of.  Often we surround ourselves by an array of “ improve the…” and “release the…” Pilates equipment. There is no doubt that our love of “toys ” can bring great results […]

We all know about the original Principles of Pilates : Centring, Control, Coordination, Breath, Flow, and Precision. A concept that was originally introduced in the 80’s by Philip Friedman and Gail Eisen, authors of The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning. A more popular version of the six principles is removing co-ordination and adding […]

When another dancer introduced Darien Gold to the Pilates method in 1992, she felt an immediate connection to the work and soon began studying with Romana Kryzanowska, a Joseph Pilates premier disciple. Certified in 1997, Darien has been teaching classical Pilates ever since. Her deep understanding of the Pilates method developed out of her extensive […]
