Pilates Teacher Training & Certification
Teaching authentic classical Pilates, learned & certified through direct lineage from Romana Kryzanowska and Inelia Garcia (in 2006)
Who are they:
-
: She was the direct protégée of Joseph Pilates and is considered the primary "keeper of the flame" for the classical method. Romana's Pilates is one of the most respected lineages in the world.
-
: A renowned "Teacher of Teachers" based in Brazil, she was appointed by Romana to uphold the legacy of Contrology. Stating a certification from these two since 2006 establishes a 3rd-generation lineage, which is highly prestigious.
