Why Us, Why Pilates
Authentic Pilates NYC is where strength, intelligence, and intention come together. This is the place for those who want more than a workout—those committed to becoming stronger in body and mind, improving posture, relieving pain, and elevating performance in every area of life.
Our Method
The Authentic Pilates Method is not fitness. It is a comprehensive system of body and mind conditioning, originally developed by Joseph Pilates to cultivate lifelong health and vitality. At Authentic Pilates NYC, every session is taught with care, precision, and your long-term well-being at the center. Our teachers are here to guide you, support you, and challenge you—always in your best interest.
Our work is grounded in the rich lineage of Joseph Pilates, carried forward through Romana Kryzanowska and Inelia Garcia. This legacy represents the purest form of the method: a complete system intended to unite mind, body, and spirit for optimal function, long term resilience, and success in life.
Inside Our Studio
You are recognized as a unique individual with specific needs, goals, and potential. Your sessions are thoughtfully designed to move you toward super-wellness—one session at a time. Your instructor is focused not only on how your body feels today, but on how it will function decades from now.
Membership at Authentic Pilates NYC comes with responsibility. You will be expected to practice beyond the studio walls. Personalized exercises will be assigned between sessions to accelerate progress and deepen results. This is a disciplined, holistic system that will transform your body, sharpen your mind, and guide you toward the person you were meant to become.
How Can Pilates Help You
The complete system, how we teach it, is a total body reconstruction process that results in increased circulation, correct posture, balanced muscle strength, increased flexibility and mobility, and a united mind, body and spirit for the best functioning body we each can attain.

Six Principles of Pilates
Pilates is a lifelong process of growth. It grows with you and changes as you change overtime. The principles are in every exercise, in every level—from basic to advanced. This is something to consider in your Pilates journey!
1 CONCENTRATION
Connect the mind and the body. Mind-body awareness is about becoming connected to yourself.
2 CENTRALIZATION
Move from your Power House. The body is designed to move from the center.
3 PRECISION
Transforming the body. Precision of movement in exercise leads to postural adjustments.
4 BREATHING
Increase lung capacity and intensity. In Authentic Pilates, the breath is naturally coordinated with the movements.
5 CONTROL
A control of the self. Control is the positioning of the body during the execution of the exercises.
6 FLOW
The state of flow. Obtaining this state is when you fully experience each exercise.
