Romana Kryzanowska, 1923-2013

It is with a sad heart that I share the news of Romana's passing.  She was a life force who gave so much to all she met.  She mentored so many to learn to teach Pilates as she was taught by Joseph Pilates.  Her energy was infectious, giving joy and vitality to all around her.  She worked hard, played hard and knew how to enjoy life. 

I raise a glass to her and toast, Love all around and especially to you Romana!

Jamie graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts with a major in Classical Ballet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMANA!

On June 30th Romana celebrated her 90th birthday.  All of us here at JHPilates send her warm wishes and a big hug.  She has enriched our lives by sharing her love and passion about moving the body as Joe Pilates taught her.  I hear her voice in my head as I am teaching and sharing what Romana taught me.  Love to you Romana on your special day.  

Looking Inside of the Body

I just returned from a 6 day cadaver dissection lab at The University of CT at Bridgeport led by Dr. Joe Muscolino, Licensed Chiropractor Physician.  Joe knows the anatomical body backwards and forwards.  His energetic and fun style of teaching guided our class of 20 massage therapists and various movement therapists (Pilates, yoga, personal trainers) through a tour of the human body.  We investigated the muscular, skeletal, and visceral components of the body.  

When I have been asked, "What did you learn", I have taken a pause as I feel I have learned so much and yet I know so little.  There were 4 bodies/vessels of people who donated their bodies so people like myself could learn about our complex organism.  One of the things that was fascinating was examining the fascia, or connective tissue within the body.    I have included a short video which explains the fascia very well.  Take a minute to watch Gil Hedley, Anatomist, explain and show about the connective tissue that holds us all together.  He called it "The Fuzz Speech".

Thanks for listening,

June Hines
