Why Romana's Pilates?

Tradition and History

Romana's Pilates is a family organization run by three generations of teachers:

After Joseph Pilates's death, Clara Pilates and Romana kept running his studio and maintained his method in the most precise way possible. Later, Romana took it upon herself to hand off the method, through it's smallest details, to the next generation of teachers, and based an international training program and a global network of schools and studios that are proud to be part of the tradition. The senior teachers of the organization are based all around the globe and are personally responsible for maintaining the highest level of professionalism of the apprentices through a series of exams and seminars as part of the program.
