The Classical Difference

The Teachers:

We honor the classical method as taught by Joe to Romana, who taught Amy and Rachel, who taught us. So you might consider us three steps removed from the source, but the direct lineage to Joe is a very important distinction in the Bay Area.  And yes, our lineage is more in keeping with the East Coast school than the West.  From our teachers to our continuing ed program, our approach is very much aligned  with Joe’s original  “Contrology” prescription……physical fitness for the body, mind and spirit.

The Studio:

Fully equipped and dedicated solely to Pilates instruction, each lesson or class incorporates the classical order of mat and reformer work with breath, flow and uniform development emphasized in each session.  We can outfit a group of 5 on reformers, chairs, the tower or pole system plus we have a high barrel, ped a pull, and two cadillacs.  Last but certainly not least……mats for 10 are available upstairs or down.

“..attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneously zest and pleasure.”
