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

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.

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

– Romana Kryzanowska
