It was lovely hearing these stories about Ron and his impact on both of your lives. I found it really special to hear about the respect and dedication people gave to the pilates practice and how that has been passed down. I especially liked the phrase that pilates is a movement experience, not only physically, but also for the mind and spirit.
This was a very sentimental video tribute to Ron. It was truly inspiring as a dancer who is injured how pilates became such a contribution to injury rehabilitation and strength. I loved seeing Diane, who is my teacher, light up about sharing stories over her teacher, Ron and how he influenced her ballet work. I also loved Susan's thought about stillness. The classical pilates is truly shared between these two women sharing Ron's legacy.
Thank you for sharing all of these lovely stories about Ron & both of your experiences. I am truly inspired & so thankful that I get to practice & share this beautiful movement that is Pilates. I sometimes too feel frustrated that some movements call themselves "Pilates" when in fact it is a misconception to what true Pilates is. There is so much noise out there in the industry & I am thankful to have guidance from teachers like Diane and Susan to spread the true knowledge of Pilates & continue the legacy. Thank you xx
