So wonderful! I completely enjoyed this whole interview. Thank you Kristi and John. I'd love to know more about Joe and Clara's relationship. Love, friendship, mutually beneficial??? And how is it the Clara beamed such a good teacher? Did she ever even do PIlates? Still some myths to clarify.
Hi, I was at this filming, and it was one of the best ever!! I love hearing you and hearing your stories, John. So glad you are working on a book and will purchase it as soon as it comes out!
And Kristi, I can't convey the depth of gratitude I have for all that you have done for the pilates community in creating Pilates Anytime... I am in awe of you!!!
A question just came up in a pilates group on facebook, and I thought you or John would have the answer. Why did Clara always wear her white uniform? (I'll report back the answer...)
I never asked her. My guess: Clara was very formal and took her role seriously. She wanted to look professional and saw no other alternative. OR Joe could have decided that is how she should look. Bottom line - a good look.
Ruth, I don't remember it enough to say exactly, but I believe Ken Endelman has a good answer to your question having to do with what one wears when teaching young children in Germany, more so than nursing. Please ask him because I may be pulling from the wrong story!
Thank you so much for the historical preservation of Pilates beyond the singular Romana lineage. This exemplifies a truly foundational approach to our shared past. P.S.: I strive to reach John's level of comfort at calling someone else a 'bad guy' (meaning poor business professional) w/o malice, gile, or guilt!
