Where Does Pilates Come From?

Joseph Pilates was a German-born fitness guru who moved to the United States in the 1920s. There, in New York, he founded the first Pilates studio. Pilates has dance, martial arts, yoga, gymnastics, and ballet origins. It also has a focus on breathing awareness, spinal alignment, and core body balance.

Joseph Pilates did not intend his system to be "stand alone", but rather to be a foundation for other activities. It is not a system that is meant to make you dependent upon a trainer or a piece of equipment. It is meant for you to use to strengthen your body so you'd be better able to perform your daily activities and sports and its becomes a foundation for anything else you were doing. I think that's important because people tend to think that if you learn Pilates, then that's all you will do. Many people find out that after learning Pilates, it provides them with everything they need so they don't choose to do anything else - and that's fine too.

However, Pilates was an active man and wanted all people to be active and efficient in their activities. This is the foundation of Pilates.

MANUELA LANE

Manuela was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States when she was 21 and became a naturalized citizen in the 90's. She studied Psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. In her late 20's and early 30's was the first time she started struggling with her weight realizing that she had to workout in order not to become one of those sturdy German women. She met her husband, who was a personal trainer at the time and learned the value of personal training first hand. After going through episodes of on and off "fad" diets she realized the best way to get to a healthy lifestyle was to eat food in its most natural state. Manuela is not just a great personal trainer she is a counselor and therapist.
