Pilates improves your posture, body mechanics, corrects breathing, spinal flexibility, and flow.  These components are all very important in the golf swing.  Pilates also helps to elongate your spine.  Pilates creates a strong “Powerhouse” (which is often referred to as a body’s core).  The Powerhouse is composed of your abdominals, lower back, inner & outer thighs, hips, and buttocks.  Good posture affects the golf swing mechanics and good golf mechanics requires cohesive coordination of the body, legs, and arms.  The correct sequencing of this anatomy, multiplies the golfer’s power.  In the action of the swing, the stability of your Powerhouse and the strength and flexibility of the arms and legs will result in the club head cutting through the air at an incredible speed to the ball.  A very important aspect of Pilates is strengthening, lengthening, working balance, coordination, and breathing all at the same time.  When the body movement occurs naturally, the mind and body act as one leading to quicker and more confident physical decisions on the golf course. Movement, rhythm, and mental aspects associated with Pilates and Golf are very similar.  Regular Pilates training will enhance your ability to develop and master a proper golf swing & improve your game.

We could simply state that you get what you pay for, but it is far more than that when it comes to Pilates.  

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.

Hello Pilates Lovers:

I want to ask you to step away from your mats for just a moment and hear an exciting announcement from Pure Pilates.

My name is Mark, and I have been working with Karen Winselmann of Pure Pilates for quite some time now. I have encouraged Karen for years to share her extensive experience and knowledge of Pilates with others on the Internet in the way of a blog and social media. She has made the big leap, and she has now officially joined the world of blogging.

Whether you know Karen well, or you are just getting to know her, I hope that you will join me in cheering her on with her new endeavor.

I would like to suggest subscribing to receive updates by email, with your favorite blog reader, by Twitter, or Facebook.  I expect a lot of great Pilates tips and information from Karen and the Pure Pilates staff, including details about the upcoming Romana’s Pilates Conference which Pure Pilates will host again in 2010. I am subscribed, and I am not even a Pilate’s guy. I am just the Web guy who helps Karen to bring this to you.

Please help me in congratulating Pure Pilates and wishing them a fantastic 2010.

Warmest regards,

Mark Aaron Murnahan
