Joseph H. Pilates
"Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit. "
- Joseph H. Pilates

The New Year is an opportunity to renew goals, including a personal commitment to your own body and spirit.  Welcome 2019 by scheduling appointments for private lessons and classes.  Consider adding in a class or a private lesson to your existing schedule.  

Join your Pilates friends for our annual Holiday Party this Saturday, January 5th, in our Doylestown studio.  June Hines will be teaching a free archival mat class with clients and teachers participating from 2-3 PM.  All are welcome to come and participate.  Following the mat class we will toast the New Year with refreshments and snacks.  Plus Italian tenor John Carelli will perform from 3-5 PM, bringing his interpretations of Sinatra, classic pop  songs and Italian Arias.  

Check out our news and January special. 
Susan Wilson teaching in Doylestown.
Featured Teacher:
Susan Wilson
June Hines reflects on meeting and working with Susan Wilson:  I met Susan as she was pursuing her options to become certified to teach Pilates.  Romana's Pilates was a new organization at that time and Susan was the first class of Romana's Pilates.  When I met her I saw a person determined, full of passion who moved with joy in her body.  I knew she was a good candidate for Romana's Pilates and, upon meeting her, that she would be a great teacher.

Here is what her clients share about Susan: 
"With Susan's help and guidance, my chronic headaches have reduced and I feel more confident about my body and how I look in my clothes." - 
Becky Morley
"My core has gotten much stronger.  As a bonus, my stomach is flatter and I have lost weight.  Thank you Susan." -  Anthony Sciarillo

Exercise of the Month

The Star
Joseph Pilates demonstrates the Star

The Star is an advanced exercise that demands control, balance, flexibility and strength.  Joseph Pilates demonstrates this exercise on the reformer.  It can also be performed on the Wunda Chair, the mat, and a variety of places through the system that Joseph Pilates created.  The beginning of preparing for this exercise is mastering the side lying kicks and side presses.
John Carelli
