Heritage
A little history:
Joseph Pilates was born in 1883 in Mönchengladbach, Germany. A puny and often sick child, this nature pushed him to become an athlete. He taught several sports such as boxing, self-defense, yoga or fencing in Germany before leaving for England to exercise his profession.
When the First World War broke out, he was suspected of being an enemy of the country and was taken prisoner on the Isle of Man. This episode of his life will prove to be crucial in the creation of the foundations of his method.
Training prisoners daily and participating in the rehabilitation of the sick by virtue of his function as a nurse on the island, he developed a series of exercises for which he used the springs of the hospital beds, supplemented by pulleys, thus creating an ingenious system ... the 1st “Pilates” device was born!
At the end of the war, he emigrated to the USA where he met his wife, Clara, with whom he opened his first studio in New York City. The building was also used for dance rehearsals, which made it popular with dancers and people of theater and contortion. Some became his disciples and the 1st generation of Pilates teachers. Among them, Mrs. Lolita SAN MIGUEL, professional dancer, who was referred to her by her doctor to practice Pilates in order to heal from a knee injury. She thus got to know Joseph Pilates and followed his teachings. She is, to date, one of the last people still alive to have been trained and certified by him.
Madame SAN MIGUEL transmits her heritage through 2 training courses:
- LOLITA'S LEGACY (Teacher Training Program)
- PMMP (Pilates Mentor Master Program) to become a teacher trainer.
At 84, she still passionately teaches in her studio in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as around the world.
At Instant Pilates, we are all graduates of one or another of Madame Lolita San Miguel's training courses, and we strive to retransmit, with the same passion, the knowledge and lessons learned from her.
The Pilates Method
The Pilates method, created by Joseph Hubertus PILATES in the 1930s, is based on the importance that the body should have in any quest for well-being. Consciously knowing how to maintain good health capital through precise movements, based on the maintenance of the body in all its complexity and all of its entirety. Principles of breathing, alignment, balance, flexibility and deep strengthening are put into practice concretely by movement.
They are practiced on the ground or on various traditional devices, requiring control in their execution, continuous concentration, full commitment of the body, with particular attention to the sensations perceived.
Knowing how to breathe while oxygenating your body is a primordial element of the method as well as a regular practice, perseverance and a lot of patience, if you want the genius of your body to be revealed to you.
