Chance of a lifetime

12 July, 2021 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 1 Comment

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.

Joseph de Ruvo and his equipment

26 October, 2020 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek Leave a Comment

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.

Being in shape is not a measure of how “good” you look

26 October, 2020 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek Leave a Comment

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 […]

5 Destinations to Visit for Pilates Retreats With a Side of Cultural Activities

23 October, 2019 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 2 Comments

orking out doesn’t have to mean being confined in a gym all week. As our article on Pilates Glossy shows, there are countless Pilates parties you can join; but that’s not all either. 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’m a 39 year old studio owner and Pilates teacher of 17 years.

10 ways to declutter your Pilates studio

19 June, 2018 By Rachel Rafiefar Leave a Comment

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 […]

Am I missing something?

7 May, 2018 By Rachel Rafiefar Leave a Comment

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 […]

Why Your Breathing Matters

17 April, 2018 By Hayden Ashton Leave a Comment

If you’re new to Pilates, or Yoga, or any similar kind of exercise, you might be surprised at how much emphasis there is on breathing. It does almost seem strange at first to make such a constant, conscious effort to breathe in or out at the proper time, or to use your nose or your […]

I proudly present Pilates trainer Nina Narejko (36), originally from Poland and owner of Body Redefined Pilates.

There is so much joy in watching young […]

An interview with Second Generation instructor, Darien Gold.

22 November, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 2 Comments

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 […]

Wunderbar !! Its the Wunda Chair !!

12 November, 2017 By Rachel Rafiefar Leave a Comment

I first came across the Wunda Chair back in 1989 and in all honesty I really was not that impressed. It looked rather archaic and shabby in comparison to the Reformer and the Cadillac with their mysterious springs and fuzzies. All the Chair had was a maroon leather seat that was rather over padded and […]

10 Top Tips When Working With Pregnant Women

6 October, 2017 By Rachel Rafiefar 1 Comment

Pilates and Exercise Instructors always have mixed feelings when working with pregnant women.

I find Pilates fascinating.

It made me curious when I saw a Dutch man on Facebook participating on a Pilates forum. Who was he? So I interviewed Marco Dingemans, a Pilates teacher who lives in Arrowtown which is close to Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand. Marco is 48 years old (1969) and as I said, he is […]

Long Stretch on Reformer

There is a much loved piece of Pilates equipment called the Reformer or the Universal Reformer. This piece of equipment is known for universally reforming the body and was one of the first pieces that Joseph Pilates developed. It has changed greatly over the years as the popularity of Pilates has grown and manufacturers have […]

6 September, 2017 By Marjolein van Sonsbeek 1 Comment

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 […]

Considering Continuing Education?

20 July, 2017 By Sunni Almond Leave a Comment

The choices are staggering, like trying to buy tea. You walk into the store and stare at the wall of choices, there is more than brands to a good tea choice: there is flavor, is it responsibly sourced and fair traded? Is it needed to solve a situation, or just for a peaceful cup before […]

Why Classical Pilates Still Matters

12 June, 2017 By Lynda Lippin 2 Comments
