Fortunate to attend a New York Pilates certification center in Evanston, IL, I completed a rigorous 600 hr program in 2000, taught by master instructor Romana Kryzanowska. Romana, a George Balanchine dancer and student/apprentice to Joseph Pilates in 1941, dedicates her life to teaching the spirit and technique of his legacy. The movements are designed to teach with fluidity/flow. Transitions are key (as well as dynamic) but transitions provide a system remembered our lifetime. Teaching a Pilates program tailored for each individual body type, working with one's strengths and weaknesses, basic to advanced, is the most rewarding for me.
