    Dale Matzkow - The Lawrence Hayward story

    Dale Matzkow - The Lawrence Hayward story

    In the early 1960’s, Joseph and Clara Pilates welcomed an assistant named, Lawrence Hayward into their lives.  Lawrence spent so much time with Joe and Clara, documenting Joe’s work that he eventually moved in with them, spending a great deal of time in the Contrology studio. On this first episode of Season 6, we’ll hear new compelling information about Joe’s Contrology system that will make us scratch our heads and think, there’s way more to this Contrology story than most of us have been told. Lawerence himself can’t be here to talk about this part of the Contrology story and so, I’ve asked Dale Matzkow who was a student and close friend of Lawrence’s to share with us his story.

    Anna Shaffer ~ Joe Pilates student/First Generation Pilates teacher

    Anna Shaffer ~ Joe Pilates student/First Generation Pilates teacher

    As we close Season 5, it's only fitting that we end with the student who studied with Joe Pilates the longest, Anna Shaffer. As Anna says, proper posture or “proper body alignment” as Joe reminded her throughout her studies, gives you confidence and elegance both physically and psychologically.  Anna shares more memories of her time with Joe Pilates.

    Paula Mourin ~ Pilates Ministry

    Paula Mourin ~ Pilates Ministry

    This is a beautiful account of how Joe’s work has helped to heal the body, mind and soul. Today’s episode is a touching one. It involves the church, the prison system and a woman who took her own suffering and discovered how the power of Pilates could save her and others. My guest is Paula M, a new Pilates teacher who offers classes for church members and at a women’s local detention center. Paula refers to these classes as her Pilates ministry and her goal is to bring out the beauty in the broken. What a full circle of Joe’s life. He developed his method while incarcerated and all of these decades later, his work has returned to those who need it the most.

    Sarah King ~ The ELDOA method

    Sarah King ~ The ELDOA method

    Have you heard of a Method called ELDOA? This modality was created by world-renowned osteopath, Guy Voyer who designed it to help bring the body into balance and to heal the spine. Our guest today, Sarah King is a Pilates teacher who teaches Guy Voyer's work  to classical Pilates teachers in Berlin, Germany. Sarah has a manual therapy background so it’s no wonder she was drawn to another type of modality that has hints of yoga but also offers it within an osteopathic framework.

Happy to hear your voice

I truly enjoy your podcast and noticed your absence. Your podcast has provided me with education on parts of the pilates world I did not know.
Thanks for sharing your story about having covid. Your story will help wellness providers understand the physical, emotional, and mental effect that the covid virus can have on the body.
