Back to the Method
| Joe was one smart guy, with pretty clear ideas about what worked and why. There is endless industry debate about what's "true" or "authentic" versus "based on" or "actually has nothing to with" Pilates. I'm pretty clear on what I think Pilates is, or isn't and will write more on this soon. Meanwhile, all classes at The Pilates School will incorporate equipment into every session - no mat only or just reformer classes. Learn the whole method!

WDC WHQ SOLD!
| |  To The Pilates School
Harwich Center, MA: Wilkinson Design & Construction Inc. has sold it's World HeadQuarters at 657 Main St. Harwich Center to The Pilates School, for an undisclosed sum it was reported today.
Pav Wilkinson, CR, Associate AIA, owner of WDC has decided to concentrate on the San Francisco Bay Area market, where housing prices have plummeted in some areas to lower than a homeboy's pants (1970's dollars). The opportunities for real estate investment are unprecedented for those with the skill set. And I know the market, being a native San Franciscan, with a design/build company here for 15 years.(If you are interested in knowing more about a Bay Area REI investment opportunity, click here) "Additionally, remodeling and design projects, are blessing our schedule, as homeowners become increasingly confident in the economic recovery."

 No one is more surprised than me by the twists of my pilates journey. When I started as a student at Joe's Place/True
Pilates five years ago, it was mostly because Oprah bared her abs on
her magazine cover and credited Pilates. Shallow, but true! Ok, and
my back hurt and I couldn't do a sit-up (or a roll-up, though I didn't
know it yet.) Nonetheless, I had a wonderful first teacher in Joy
George, and fell in love with the way Pilates made me FEEL. I practiced consistently
twice-a-week for about three years, and watched my body slowly, but surely, reshape itself.
It was a fellow student's casual
request to share the expenses and experience of a teacher training that
set me on the path to Pilates Teacher certification. My life was in a
tsudramanami of change on every level, and I thought "why not, I love
Pilates"? One year and 650 training hours later, and I was
"comprehensively certified", by Peak Pilates master teacher trainers, Pam Garcia and Clare Dunphy. And then the learning really began!
Having
never dreamed about being a Pilates teacher till I became one, so it is
with establishing The Pilates School.
I love teaching, (and practicing!) Pilates and would do it almost
anywhere if asked. But the WDC World Headquarters space recently became
available; the commute is short and the space sunny and beautiful. And
what better day to share my exciting news, than International
Pilates Day?
Some closing thoughts - for years, I have had this proverb above my desk:
Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over,
it became a butterfly.
Practicing Pilates changed my body, my spirit, and ultimately the course
of my life. I still marvel as I watch the beauty, simplicity and effectiveness of Joe Pilates' Method and look forward to sharing that experience with you. So whether you're an advanced practitioner, an excited beginner or just love to talk Pilates, give me a call at 508 432 2111 or email me at lyn@lynwilkinson.com
All best,
lyn
