​​​​​​​​​​​​​​JOSEPH PILATES:
Couldn't have said it better, except;...why stop at 60??
Having grown up in war-torn Germany, developing his method to train soldiers in WWI; Joseph Pilates fled to the U.S. as Hitler gained a strong hold. While described as salty, opinionated, and unwaveringly confident in "Contrology", his coining of the somatic method; those closest adored Joseph.
In spite of a healthy ego, Joseph was known as a colorful prankster, brilliantly ecentric, perpetually inquisitive & intent on optimizing bodies of all ages, sizes, & physical condition with both respect & a playful irreverence that made it fun.
When Joseph died in 1969, Contrology was renamed. As "Pilates", it was protected by trademark until 2001, when due to demand, it was redefined as
"Open to Interpretation",...
...And outcome that Joseph would undoubtedly be a lil cranky about.
This is why pre-2001instructors/practitioners like me insist on carrying his torch.
Hi. I'm Trisha.
I found my way to Pilates through a happy money swinging from pipes on a ceiling,...
...Actually a dream I had the night after flipping through a magazine in the early 90s to a photo op of a celebrity hanging upside down from a Pilates Trapeze Table; but it was the monkey's bliss that aligned me with destiny & fueled me through the years of training; & 3 decades later, I am still an over-enthusiastic Pilates Geek.
Pilates At Play opened in 1997 as the first
fully-equipped studio in the South Puget Sound
offering Pilates Apparatus and Mat.
In 2021, Pilates At Play relocated from State Ave NE to the American Legion Building on Capitol Lake.
