Languages at Tailored Pilates
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
We just thought it might be appropriate to point out that here at Tailored Pilates we can run your class in 5, yes 5 different languages. English, Lithuanian, Russian, Italian and French are all spoken and understood by either Ingrida or Donatella. So, no longer can you use a lack of English as an excuse to not look after yourself!!
Donatella Barrese

We are very happy to welcome our newest instructor, Donatella, into the Tailored Pilates Studio. Donatella is a professional dancer who has turned her considerable talents now to Pilates. She is a fully qualified Pilates Instructor, very caring, thorough and committed to Pilates and its benefits. We are positive Donatella will be a resounding success here at Tailored Pilates and the positive feedback we have already received backs this up! So please, ease the burden on Ingrida and insist Donatella takes your next class!! (Only joking, I hope Ingrida doesn’t read this!)
A Bit More About Gyrotonic®
Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Gyrotonic methodology is an exercise system created by Juliu Horvath, an ethnic Hungarian born in Romania. Horvath, who was trained as a ballet dancer, sought asylum in the United States in the 1960s and developed the Gyrotonic system there, after an injured Achilles tendon brought his dance career to a halt. He began to practice yoga, and co-developed a system called “Yoga for Dancers”, with Hilary Cartwright, which eventually evolved into Gyrokinesis.
Gyrotonic exercises employ movements found in swimming, yoga, gymnastics, and tai chi, using specialized equipment developed by Horvath. The system is intended to improve flexibility and balance as well as muscle strength, and to increase overall flexibility, stability and mobility in joints. It has been compared to and contrasted with Pilates, but the Gyrotonic System offers three dimensional, circular movements, that use specific yogic breathing patterns that claim to cleanse, detoxify and rejuvenate the entire body.
