Our Mission
Romana’s Pilates international is dedicated to preserving, teaching and upholding the pilates method as passed down directly by romana kryzanowska protégée of Joseph pilates.
RPI exists to protect the integrity, lineage and depth of the original work- ensuring that pilates remains a living intelligent system, not a diluted fitness trend.
Our Philosophy
At Romana’s Pilates International, Pilates is not a set of exercises —
it is a method, a system, and a language of movement.
We believe:
• Pilates must be taught as a complete system, not isolated exercises
• The work must remain client-centered, adaptable, and intelligent
• Teachers must be trained to see, analyze, and respond, not just cue
• The method should evolve through mastery, not be simplified for mass appeal
(Need to confirm with Daria if this part is ok)*
What Makes Romana’s Pilates Different
Direct Lineage
Romana’s Pilates is the direct continuation of Joseph Pilates’ work, passed on through:
• Joseph Pilates → Romana Kryzanowska → Romana’s Certified Teachers
This lineage ensures:
• Accuracy of the exercises
• Integrity of the order and transitions
• Respect for the original apparatus and intentions
RPI is not an interpretation — it is inheritance.
The System,
Not Just the Exercises
Unlike many modern “classical” programs that:
• Teach fixed routines
• Emphasize choreography
• Prioritize fitness over function
Romana’s Pilates teaches:
• Exercise families
• Progressions and regressions
• Intelligent sequencing
• Purpose-driven transitions
Every session is custom-built for the body in front of you.
Teacher Training That Creates Thinkers
RPI teachers are trained to:
• Observe posture, movement, and compensation
• Choose the right exercise at the right moment
• Adapt the system for injuries, age, and goals
• Understand why an exercise exists — not just how to
perform it
This produces educators, not performers.
Apparatus Mastery
RPI places deep emphasis on:
• The full Pilates apparatus system (Reformer, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrels etc)
• Correct springs, settings, and transitions
• Apparatus as a teacher, not a prop
Many programs underutilize or modify the equipment — RPI teaches it as Joseph Pilates designed it.
Individual Bodies,
Individual Order
Romana taught that:
“You don’t teach the exercise — you teach the person.”
In RPI:
• There is no “one correct order” for everyone
• The order is earned, modified, and intelligent
• The work evolves as the body evolves
This is why RPI Pilates feels deeply personal and transformative.
Why RPI
Is Not a
“Classical Pilates”
Today, “classical Pilates” is often used as a label, not a standard.
Romana’s Pilates International:
• Maintains rigorous standards
• Requires continuing education
• Honors Romana’s teaching voice, humor, and intelligence
• Protects the work from oversimplification and commercialization
Romana’s Pilates International teaches the Pilates method as passed down directly from Romana Kryzanowska, emphasizing intelligent application of the system rather than fixed routines.
A Global Community
Romana’s Pilates International is a global organization, spanning:
• 50+ countries
• Studios, certification centers, and master teachers worldwide
• A community rooted in mentorship, collaboration, and legacy
We are committed to:
• Supporting teachers at every stage
• Continuing Romana’s work forward — not freezing it in time
• Upholding excellence while welcoming growth
In One Sentence
Romana’s Pilates International preserves the soul of Pilates — while teaching teachers how to think, adapt, and honor the body in front of them.
