Pilates and Beyond

WHAT IS

Classical Pilates ?

Classical Pilates is an exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates nearly a century ago.

Pilates is proven to reshape and tone the body without causing stress and imbalance. The movement is rhythmic, fluid and focused to build greater strength, flexibility and endurance. It is layered and structured as a system that requires progressive learning and mastery.

WHAT MAKES CLASSICAL PILATES

Different from contemporary methods?

There are various interpretations of Joseph Pilates’ work and some contemporary formats of the method lose sight of the original format and technique.

Joseph and his wife Clara originally taught his program informally to his “apprentices” that involved years of observing and practising what Joe did.

As the Pilates exercise method increased in popularity, some training programs deviated from the original method. These new methods can be considered “Pilates based exercise”. Staying true to the original principles created by Joe, is referred to as teaching Classical or Pure Pilates.

This is what we teach at Pilates and Beyond.

WHAT ARE THE

Defining characteristics of classical Pilates

• Teaches Pilates in its original form, with minor changes that reflect the advancement of scientific understanding of the human body. Systematic, sequential order of exercises that focus on flow, which develops endurance and stamina.


• Exercises are taught with a unique and dynamic rhythm and progression occurs as mastery of the exercises can be done with control and precision.


• Pilates is ideally taught in private lessons, or in classes with very small groups. The instructors teach by verbal cues and instruction only, never by doing the class with the students.


• Teachers must complete a rigorous training program consisting of at least 600 hours of class work, observation and personal practice to become Comprehensively Certified. Continuing education is required to maintain certification.

“It was a bit hard at the start but Patricia was able to talk me through everything and it didn’t take me long to get the hang of it. It’s always a bit of a physical challenge for me, but I’m loving the results from my weekly sessions and have started telling all of my friends to come along with me.”
