Ken Heizman
Ken Heizman teaches the “original method” of Pilates, as taught to him for 10+ years by Jay Grimes who learned the Pilates system and how to teach it from Joe and Clara Pilates during the 1960’s and 70’s. Ken also studies extensively with Inelia Garcia who was given the distinguished title of "Teacher or Teachers" by Romana Kryzanowska, the long-time portage of Joseph Pilates. The original method of Pilates is the most difficult rewarding style of the exercise method. It is Pilates, as much as possible the way the founder and developer of the method, Joseph Pilates, envisioned it.
Ken is one of a few people in the world to fully complete Jay Grimes' comprehensive teacher’s program. He has also completed several hundred hours of private sessions with Jay. More recently Ken was certified to teach by the great Inelia Garcia through her prestigious teacher training program at the Pilates Studio Brasil, and he continues to learn, study and practice regularly with the best teachers in the world in order to continue to advance himself and become an even more knowledgable and skilled instructor.
In Pilates, as in any exercise method, it is the results that count. Pilates performed with focus and control, produces great results quickly and thoroughly throughout the body. Ken attributes Pilates to helping him to overcome old back injuries, and to develop his own body into the best physical shape of his life. He began practicing Pilates in 2003, and in 2005 he began to teach. He’s been teaching and practicing, and learning ever since. Ken is passionate about his work, and he enthusiastically shares the magic of Pilates with others.
