Strength, Stretch, Control
Joseph Pilates began developing his method of exercise, which he originally termed “Contrology,” in the 1920s. The Pilates Method has consistently ranked as one of the most enduring and effective fitness methods. And our studio remains dedicated to upholding the legacy of the Classical Pilates method, as developed by Joseph Pilates and passed on by his protégée, Romana Kryzanowska.
Somaspace instructors are classically trained in the lineage of Romana through Real Pilates® New York and Romana’s Pilates®. We offer Classical Pilates Teacher Training at our studio through the Real Pilates Teacher Training Program.
“In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a new body.” Mr. Pilates stated this promise to his clients, encouraging them to attend three, 55-minute sessions per week. This is a schedule we recommend as well!
