We believe Classical Pilates offers something truly special. There are many types of Pilates out there, many are weekend courses or entirely online, where the new instructor isn’t exposed to real people, real exercises, just choreography that has no meaning with no reason, progression or assessment of the individual clients needs. Romana’s Pilates has a structure that guides the Instructors own creativity, and sense of what the body in front of them needs, on that particular day. This structure is not rigid; it is intentional. Each exercise builds upon the last, preparing the body for greater challenges. The sequencing is part of Joseph Pilates’ genius, and when you learn the method in it’s entirety, with information passed down through generations, it makes sense, is inspiring and transformational.
