Pilates full-circle
Full Circle
So we arrive back where we started.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is not a trend.
It is not a workout fad.
It is not defined by any single lineage, studio, or brand.
Pilates is a living method that has traveled from:
An internment camp/hospital ward
To a New York studio
To a handful of devoted teachers
Through a legal battle
Through global expansion
Through a pandemic
Through another global expansion
And into the lives of millions of people.
And today, each of us in this room carries that story forward.
Every class we teach.
Every student we guide.
Every person who discovers they can move better than they thought possible.
That is Pilates.
A method that began with one man’s belief that movement could change lives…
…and continues because we believe it too.
