I am very happy to share with all of you that great notice for our Pilates Community here in Qatar; now we are available to have a Group of Pilates Reformer Classes.

The Pilates Reformer is the best known piece of Pilates equipment. It is a bed like frame with a moveable carriage on which a person sits or reclines for resistance exercise or stretching. It is an excellent method of exercising without over stressing the joints while strengthening, shaping and leaning muscles throughout the entire body.

10268594_10152099579895614_4984910140396351608_nThe Pilates Reformer is excellent for physical rehabilitation and get back into shape before or after childbirth as well as normal exercise to improve quality of life. For best effect, attend a group reformer class. The student should have at least ten (10) private lessons from a Pilates professional for a personalized Pilates program that is focused on the individual requirements of each student.LuzLife Pilates can provide such personalized programs. Pilates Reformer classes will be conducted for up to 3 persons per class.

This class is geared toward those who already attend private lessons and want to work out at a steady pace with limited personal attention.

For hygiene requirements, please bring a small towel and clean socks – no gym shoes will be used. Prior to attending class, please bathe and wear deodorant, but avoid excessive perfume. Cell-phones need to be switched off at all times!

Joseph spent hours in the woods studying the movement of animals.

Joe was born in Munchen-Glebach, a small town near Dusseldorf Germany in 1880. He was a very sickly child suffering from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever. He was taunted by other children and was unable to defend himself, which inspired his journey to fitness and health. Joseph spent hours in the woods studying the movement of animals and memorizing an anatomy book his physician had given him. By the age of 14, he was modeling for anatomy charts and continued developing his physical fitness through boxing, skiing, diving and gymnastics.

In 1914 after WWI broke out, he was interned in an “enemy alien camp” in Lancaster. It was here that he began to develop the Pilates Method of Exercise known then as Contrology. He was then transferred to another camp in The Isle of Man. While working here as a nurse, he developed his exercise equipment using bed springs and other apparatus.

In 1925, he came to the United States and while on the ship he met his wife, Clara. Upon arriving in New York City, they opened a studio at 939 8th Avenue. Famous choreographers and dancers studied with Joe for their training and rehab work (George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Martha Graham). Additionally, many movie stars studied with him as well (Vivien Leigh, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Katherine Hepburn).

In January 1966, there was a fire in his building. Joe returned to his studio to fight the fire, but fell through the burnt out floorboards hanging for some time until rescued by firefighters. He later died in October 1967, at the age of 87, due to complications attributed to this incident. Clara continued to run the studio for the next 10 years until her death in 1976. A longtime teacher and student, Romana Kryzanowska, took over the business and dedicated her life to teaching Joe’s work.
