Pilates Anytime?

Last night, the Pilates community lost one of the great ones, Jay Grimes. Jay Grimes carried Joseph Pilates' work forward for the benefit of us all and never stopped sharing his knowledge. In a modality like Pilates that is relatively young, when you lose one of the original leaders, it is truly felt throughout the entire community. To those who knew Jay, who learned from Jay, and honor his legacy through their own work, we thank you, and we send our condolences. #pilates #pilateslegacy #jaygrimes

Today is World Pilates Day, an international celebration of Joseph Pilates’ revolutionary fitness method. We are so grateful to him for creating this movement. We would be remiss to not mention the contributions of the Pilates Elders who preserved Joe’s legacy: Bruce King, Carola Trier, Eve Gentry, Jay Grimes, Kathleen Stanford Grant, Lolita San Miguel, Mary Bowen, Naja Cori, Robert Fitzgerald, Romana Kryzanowska, and Ron Fletcher. In this video, we hear from those who knew, studied, and worked with Joe, along with Pilates teachers who continue to spread his pioneering method. We are all connected through the Pilates method.

Let's talk equipment! ?? PART 2 Tower: The Tower acts as a one-sided Cadillac. Its vertical frame, springs, and bars offer resistance and support an array of exercises. Wunda Chair: With its small surface area, practitioners can move through both seated and standing exercises. The Wunda Chair’s springs and pedal facilitate the targeting of specific muscle groups. What's your experience with the Tower or Wunda Chair? Let us know in the comments below! #pilates #pilatesanytime #pilateslegacy #worldpilatesday

After overcoming chronic illnesses during childhood, Joseph Pilates believed that movement has the power to transform lives. While movement strengthens our bodies, it also heals by increasing emotional and mental well-being. How has Pilates impacted your well-being? Let us know in the comments below! #pilates #pilatesanytime #pilateslegacy #worldpilatesday

Let's talk equipment! ?? Mat: In the beginning, Joseph Pilates developed his method with a Mat. His original repertoire consisted of 34 Mat exercises. Reformer: The Reformer’s sliding carriage, springs, and straps allow practitioners to perform resistance-based exercises. Cadillac: Also known as the Trapeze Table, the Cadillac is the ultimate apparatus. With its springs, pulleys, and overhead bars, the Cadillac can assist in helping you learn new exercises and connecting deeper to your muscles. These are just a few of the amazing pieces of equipment Joseph Pilates created. Which one is your favorite? Stay tuned for part 2. #pilates #pilatesanytime #pilateslegacy #worldpilatesday

These words capture the Pilates method’s holistic approach to fitness and wellness. Not only does Pilates improve your strength, flexibility, balance, and posture, but it also fosters mind-body connections, bringing more ease and joy into your life. #pilates #pilatesanytime #pilateslegacy #worldpilatesday
