Pure Pilates at Fairmont Turnberry Isle is overseen by owner and certified instructor Karen Winselmann, whose long list of clients include professional baseball and basketball athletes, the British Olympic Swim Team, aspiring ballet dancers and ice skaters. Pure Pilates hosted the worldwide annual Romana’s Pilates® Conference in both 2009 and 2010. In addition, the acclaimed center has been entrusted for the past two years with arranging the Grand Master Extravaganza, a continuing professional education for hundreds of Pilates instructors from around the world.

Classes and private sessions will be led by Jaclyn Bachor, who recently moved to Miami from New York. Both Winselmann and Bachor trained under Romana Kryzanowska, a protégé of Joseph Pilates, and teach the same system of exercises and philosophies originally developed and taught by the renowned inventor and his wife, Clara Pilates.

“When we were first approached by Fairmont Turnberry Isle about this unique partnership, we knew right away this would be an excellent fit,” said Winselmann. “The addition of a renowned Pilates’ program to the resort’s large array of world-class amenities provides a great draw for locals looking for a day or weekend getaway. Plus, this is the only Romana Pilates® studio in the Aventura area.”

Private lessons and group classes are available Sunday through Saturday by appointment only. Mat classes are kept to a maximum of six people. To book a class or private session, call the Willow Stream Spa at 305-933-6930. The new Pure Pilates studio in Aventura also serves: Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach, Bay Harbor, Bal Harbour, Surfside & Golden Beach. Pure Pilates also has a studio in Fort Lauderdale.

Horses are a reflection of their riders and if a rider is controlled and balanced then a horse will produce controlled, balanced movements.  Horse trainers many times say that riders spend too much time conditioning their horses but not enough time conditioning themselves.  Riders can learn to isolate body movements in preparation for sitting in a saddle.   Pilates exercises like Leg Circles teach riders to move their legs without moving their torsos or hips.  Pilates training also helps riders build body awareness.  If a rider puts too much weight in the left hip, it unbalances the horse and sends a confusing message to the horse.  If a horse can feel a fly land on its back, imagine what a crooked body does! 

For more information, please refer to the book: Pilates for the Dressage Rider by Janice Dulak.  Janice is a Romana’s Pilates Certified Instructor.  From time to time you may find Janice teaching at Pure Pilates in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Potential clients sometimes balk at the hourly rate most Pilates studios charge.  But the high cost is due to the quality training that ensures that top-notch teachers know what they’re doing.  There are many Pilates disiplines, but at Romana’s Pilates, each Romana’s Pilates Certified Iinstructor has been guided, trained, and tested by the 4 Grand Masters — either Romana Kryzanowska, or by Sari Mejia Santo, Juanita Lopez, or Cynthia Lochard — each teaching the Pilates method exactly as taught by Joseph Pilates himself.   Here’s why taking Pilates from a Romana’s Pilates trained and certified Instructor is actually an investment in your body’s future — and well worth it!

1.  The training to become a fully certified teacher is comprehensive and lengthy, lasting anywhere from one to two years.

2.  The training includes anatomy, kinesiology, and learning to teach some 500 exercises.

3.  Teachers-in-training need 600+ of apprentice hours and self-practice.

4.  A Pilates education includes knowledge about pregnancy; elderly clients; knee, hip, & neck problems; as well as spine conditions such as scoliosis, stenosis, and disc issues.

5.  The training is just the beginning, because excellence in teaching is developed through years of experience and the requirement of attending continuing education courses.

According to a report published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, participants who practiced Pilates over a 4-week period experienced more relief from their low back pain than those who went through typical treatment programs. 

A further study by Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario was undertaken to decide whether Pilates exercises were effective in improving the conditions of low-back pain patients.  The investigators randomly assigned 39 active adults ages 20 – 55 with chronic low-back pain to either a Pilates training group or a control group.  The experimental group exercised on Pilates equipment, while the control group received the usual care provided to individuals seeking medical help for low-back pain. 

Post-testing revealed that the Pilates participants had significantly lower levels of functional disability and pain intensity than the control subjects.   A year later, the Pilates participants had maintained their physical improvements.
