Explore the Tower as seen in archival film footage and photographs of Joseph Pilates teaching in the early 1940s. This workshop focuses on a small section of material drawn from our Archival Program, offering a closer look at how the Tower was originally approached within the Classical Pilates system.
Subtle variations in form and choreography revealed in the archival material shed new light on the purpose of familiar exercises. These refinements clarify Joe’s original intention, with particular emphasis on rhythm, dynamic use of the springs, and a stronger upper body focus than many of us originally learned.
Taught by Kelli Burkhalter Hutchins and Kaile Ziemba, this workshop presents material that is clear, practical, and immediately applicable for teaching.
