It was love at first footwork!

6 September, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 1 Comment

img-1

Becoming a Pilates teacher and opening my own studio is the realization of a dream. This is actually my third career; I was a professional orchestral musician for over 20 years until nagging repetitive use injuries curtailed my performing opportunities. I then began working as a financial advisor and retired two years ago to fully […]

Burn & Bond Pilates-Themed Parties

4 July, 2017 By Francene Perel 2 Comments

img-2

I started doing Pilates-themed parties because they are a healthy and unusual way to bring people together. Fitness parties have been around for a long time and are not a new craze or trend, they are definitely here to stay! While keeping the fun and fitness in the party, what’s different is the emphasis on […]

JOE’s 10-20-30 was kicking in!! My wife, of 25 years, passed away in 2007.  At that time I was a Second Degree Back Belt in Tae Kwon Do.  I was in need of specialized training as my Balance, Focus and Breathing were way off.  In 2009, my daughter who also was a Second Degree Black […]

Teaching Pilates at 65!

16 June, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 2 Comments

They say that age is just a number and I believe that to be true. At age 65, I’m celebrating my fifth year as a Pilates instructor and have never been happier! Not only have I experienced the benefits of Pilates but I get to share it with my clients and help them to rediscover […]

What’s meant for you won’t pass you.

16 June, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 3 Comments

img-5

My friend Emer has a mantra, “What’s meant for you won’t pass you.” and there have been many, many times I hated to hear it pass her lips. Then, one day, it came true and I attended my first Pilates class. This was in 2008 after the birth of my son. I had had minor […]

It was like reinventing myself

2 May, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 1 Comment

Like many little girls, I used to take ballet lessons. I loved it, I dreamed of becoming a ballerina, roaming around the house in a tutu all the time. But like many small children, I was a very good mathematical mind as well, very observant and inquisitive, which my parents mistook for an inclination to […]

It seems common now to talk of second or third careers but when I gave up corporate life to teach Pilates at 40, it did not feel like a straightforward decision. After more than 20 years of office life, culminating in a Head of Marketing role for a division of Thomson Reuters, I decided to […]

Pilates and Dance Instructor – Susan Miller Davern When I was a dancer at State University of New York, College at Purchase in the 80s, I was fortunate enough to couple my grueling class and performance schedule with Pilates and Romana Kryzanowska. She was inspirational at making the simplest exercises compliment a dancer’s body, and […]

Untrained teachers and their effect on the Pilates industry

19 November, 2015 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 3 Comments

Becky Reijs

Becky Reijs, a Lolita’s Legacy Educator in The Netherlands wrote about a subject that is close to her heart. Her wish is that educated Pilates trainers all stand together as teachers of this wonderful method and that fully certified teachers & educators stimulate the “gym girls” to follow an education. So here it is, her article on “Untrained teachers and their […]
