Did You Know?
During World War I, when the influenza pandemic came to the Isle of Mann, Joseph Pilates a prisoner there, was put in charge of the injured soldiers. The soldiers he exercised with his unique form of body conditioning were the only ones who did not come down with the deadly Influenza!
In our modern technological world, we have lost touch with the natural movement and control of our bodies that early man possessed, that even to this day our pets still intuitively embody. Gravity and friction take over, resulting in unnatural habits that irremediably lead to poor posture and alignment; unnecessary pain and aches; a lack of concentration, control and loss of energy; and the tendency to breathe and move in ways that rob us of the power and control we were born to use.
Pilates, in its authentic form, as developed by Joe Pilates, was designed to get us back in touch with our core energy and the natural rhythm of our bodies. It is practical, making daily task easier and arduous tasks possible. Pilates is alternative health.
It helps prevent injuries, empowers you to self heal,
and maintains you in superior physical and mental condition.
At Centre Pilates® we teach only pure Pilates because it is proven to work! Catherine Isaacson, founder of Centre Pilates®, is a second link to Joe, having trained in the prestigious Independent Study Program with his protégée, Master Teacher
Romana Kryzanowska.
Catherine is devoted to revealing the full potential in every one of her clients, whether in private one on one sessions and semi-private using the full range of specialized apparatus Joe designed, or in group mat classes.
Regardless of your age or physical condition, we invite you to explore our web site to learn more. Contact us. Every one has the intrinsic right to health and happiness - it starts with the will to improve yourself.
"You will feel better in 10 sessions,
look better in 20 sessions, and
have a completely new body in 30 sessions."
- Joseph H. Pilates
In Memory of Romana Kryzanowska--1923-2013
Romana Kryzanowska passed away at the age of 90 (today, August 30th 2013)
So few direct links to Pilates remain. Romana was the closest to Joe.
I am so grateful for the knowledge she passed directly onto me as Romana was one of the closest to the source.
It is a sad moment in time and a glorious one as well as I remember her fondly.
Catherine Isaacson
