Pilates Organizations and Studios
Pilates Method Alliance is an organization committed to keeping the integrity of the Pilates Method. It is a valuable resource for information about how to find an instructor, what Pilates is all about, and keeps abreast of all happenings in the world of Pilates.
Vineyard Pilates Center is the fabulous studio where I trained. If you ever find yourself on Martha's Vineyard, look up this studio, and tell them I sent you! The program follows the Boulder Colorado lineage, which is well known as one of the best in the world.
Rolfing® Structural Integration is the perfect partner to the Pilates Method. Both Pilates and Rolfing address physical areas of imbalance, movement initiations, and body repatterning. I have worked with both Certified Rolfers™ Mary Phillips and Paul Wirth extensively, both in Pilates and Rolfing, and I highly recommend both of them to anyone interested in taking control of their body and bringing about a heightened awareness in daily movement.
