How would you describe your studio?

The Art of Control (located at SUNY Purchase) has a long and prestigious history in the Pilates community. I was taught by Romana Kryzanowska, and I taught alongside her for many years. The Art of Control is an authentic Pilates studio dedicated to the tradition of teaching and movement.

What’s your professional passion or goal?

Everyone at the Art of Control holds two goals very close to their hearts: first, to continue the tradition and practice of classical Pilates as it has been handed down through the teaching of Romana Kryzanowska as she was taught directly by Joseph Pilates himself; and second, to see Pilates incorporated into the daily lives of all people. If you get up in the morning to brush your teeth, there is no reason why you shouldn’t likewise spend 20 minutes doing something good for your body. 

Any new-student specials?

Yes, two for one: purchase your first private session and get your second one free.

What do you most want our readers to know?

You name the sport—tennis, cycling, golf, fencing or Formula One racing—Pilates can help. It can help you gain strength in every aspect of your daily life. Pilates is all about functional training, building strength in your deep muscles while also training you to move efficiently and reawaken the nervous system.

Pilates can transform your body to an elevated level of health and condition, whether you’re recovering from injury, training for performance sports or simply improving your quality of life.

The Pilates Center Rhinebeck is the only studio in Dutchess County owned and operated by a classical, authentic second-generation teacher. I studied under and was certified by Romana Kryzanowska, who was one of Joseph Pilates’ principal protégés.

Because Pilates is a method that can be tailored to your unique health and fitness needs (whether you are healthy or injured, or athletic or not), my goal is to ensure that each session meets your changing abilities and strengths, and that you walk out of your session feeling taller, stronger and more energized than when you walked in.
