He initially pursued studies at the Graham Center for Contemporary Dance; he became one of the first certified teachers in the technique in 1991 and taught at the school for two years. Romana Kryzanowska invited him to teach the Pilates method in 1986, and he has been teaching under her inspiration ever since. He was instrumental in building her Teacher Trainer Certification Program, co-created the Training Manual, and originated the current exam system. Bob is internationally recognized as one of the most renowned leaders of our profession, and conducts instructor training seminars, as well as continuing education programs. In the fall of 2000, he joined the team of the Power Pilates Studio in NYC.

For All Students & Teachers,
By Christa (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classical Pilates Technique: The Complete Universal Reformer Series + Archival English & Spanish (2 DVD Set: Introductory Basic; Basic; Intermediate; Advanced; Super Advanced; Archival) (DVD)
I've studied the Pilates method for a few years, and became certified through the Stott training program. After going to a couple of Pilates conventions, where people from different schools attend, someone suggested that I buy this Classical Pilates video. I had heard of the classical style or classical approach, but I didn't know much about it. Stott Pilates is good, but we learn different exercises and different movement speeds compared to this video.This Reformer video opened my eyes, and my mind, about the classical approach to Pilates. The exercises are precise and they flow energetically from one to another without interruption. The practitioners execute their routines with wonderful movement qualities. After seeing this video, I wanted to learn more. So I decided to study with someone who trained in this tradition. The experience has been great! I'm thankful that I found this video. It has enlightened me about the Pilates method, and I use the master teacher's verbal cues to improve my workouts.

Useless without the reformer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Pilates Technique: The Complete Universal Reformer Series + Archival English & Spanish (2 DVD Set: Introductory Basic; Basic; Intermediate; Advanced; Super Advanced; Archival) (DVD)
For those of us who have never done pilates before and have no idea what a reformer is, this DVD is useless. Make sure you have the reformer (approx. $355-500) before you purchase this.

It would be so helpful to let shopping customers know what equipment is needed to work with this DVD..I have had the basic reformer platform for some years and really enjoy using it. I used the original VHS that came with it, but needed a DVD. I researched what was available, which isn't alot. Ordered the Classical Pilates which looked like it was similar to the VHS I used. Well, most of the exercises are the same, but then a box, bar, and strap (that some reformers are equiped with) is needed, which I do not have. So I am working on improvising. Also I find that the directions to follow as I am doing the moves are not verbal enough to follow smoothly.Overall I have benefited from doing even the basic Pilates and will continue.
