Greetings! 

As Daria has announced, I am excited that Pure Pilates will again be hosting the 2010 Romana’s Pilates® Conference, at the spectacular Mariott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa, in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  For planning purposes, the 2010 Romana’s Pilates® Conference dates are July 9 – 11, 2010.  We are planning to keep most everything essentially the same as the Conference in 2009. 

Please note: all the 2010 Romana’s Pilates® Conference details — including: pricing, hotel reservation link & the Conference Registration Form will be announced shortly via my website “Blog”.  Therefore, I recommend that everyone subscribe to my “Blog” — this is easy to do on my HomePage (it is safe & does not require someone to join a Social Networking Site).  Additionally, anyone who is my friend on Facebook and/or a fan of Pure Pilates on Facebook will also receive any & all up-to-the-date communications about everything related to the 2010 Conference.  Please feel free to share & communicate this fact/information with other Romana’s Pilates® Instructors & Trainees — as there will be permanent Sticky Blogs for each event.  So check it out & subscribe as follows…

Looking forward to seeing you at the fabulous Pilates Grand Master Extravaganza Weekend!

Contrology or Pilates may be just words to many people, but at Romana’s Pilates it’s the exercises and philosophies of Joseph and Clara Pilates that we teach, as handed down to protégé Romana and her daughter Sari.  This is what we call True Pilates.  Through True Pilates you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then, through proper repetition of its exercises, you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your mental and subconscious activities.  True Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, play and work.  You will develop muscular power with corresponding endurance, ability to perform arduous duties, to play strenuous games, to walk, run or travel for long distances without undue body fatigue or mental strain.
 

The popularity of Joseph Pilates’s teachings has grown in recent years, and many fitness professionals are now offering pilates-inspired programs, or in some cases combining what they call Pilates with exercises from other training regimens.  The True Pilates method is different because it refers to the system of exercises that were originally developed and taught by Joseph Pilates, whose unique training regimen has proven itself for more than 80 years as an effective and safe method of exercise.
Romana Kryzanowska is the world-renowned protégé of Joseph Pilates and has been teaching the method for nearly six decades.  Long ago Romana made a commitment to Joe and Clara Pilates to continue their life’s work and Romana continues to deliver on that promise today by traveling the world and teaching the next generation of instructors.  Romana’s daughter, Sari Mejia Santo, also shares her mother’s lifelong passion for teaching the Pilates method; she also had the opportunity to train directly with Joseph and Clara Pilates, and has been teaching at Romana’s side for over three decades.

Romana Kryzanowska was a dancer with George Balanchine’s dance company when she was referred to Joseph Pilates for rehabilitation of an ankle injury.  Romana trained and studied with Joseph and is now universally recognized as Joseph’s protege.  Romana made a commitment to Joseph to continue his life’s work and has been teaching his Pilates Method of Body Conditioning for nearly six decades.  Today, the goal of Romana’s Pilates is to improve flexibility and stregthen the total body without building bulk.  This goal is achieved through a series of controlled movements increasing flexibility, balance, and control.  Romana’s Pilates works your body and your mind promoting physical harmony and balance for people of all ages while providing a refreshing and energizing workout – leaving you with a feeling of physical and mental well-being. 

“Done three times a week, a few well-designed movements, properly executed in sequence, are worth hours of calisthenics or contortions!”

– Romana Kryzanowska
