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.
