A special shout-out to Kelsey Menjivar of Pure Pilates Plus in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for capturing this unforgettable moment.

Janice Dulak teaching The Swan exactly as it was passed on to her by her only mentor, Romana Kryzanowska, and sharing that legacy with Monica Hoekstra during ABsolute Pilates’ 25th Anniversary Open House.

These are the moments that preserve the lineage of Classical Pilates - one teacher, one student, one generation at a time. ❤️

Twenty-five years. ❤️🥂

As I look back on our 25th Anniversary Celebration at ABsolute Pilates, my heart is full of gratitude. What began as a dream has grown into a community built on dedication, learning, friendship, and a shared commitment to the traditional Pilates method.
Having Janice Dulak with us made this milestone even more meaningful. Her knowledge, integrity, and unwavering commitment to preserving the work passed down from Romana continue to inspire teachers and students alike. We were truly honored to celebrate alongside such an extraordinary mentor and leader.
To every client, teacher, intern, and friend who has been part of this journey—thank you. Your trust, support, and belief in what we do have made these past 25 years possible.
Here’s to honoring the past, embracing the present, and continuing the pursuit of excellence for many years to come.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Monica

The title of Master Teacher in the Pilates industry is often used, but not always clearly defined. Janice Dulak embodies what it truly means to be a master—through her depth of knowledge, unwavering commitment to excellence, generosity in teaching, and dedication to preserving and advancing the work.

How fortunate we are to learn from such an extraordinary leader and mentor.

As we wrap up an incredible four-day weekend of learning, growth, and discovery with our Dark Horse Pilates Interns and Teachers, we leave inspired, challenged, and motivated to continue pursuing the art of mastery.

Thank you, Janice Dulak, for sharing your wisdom and reminding us that true mastery is not a destination, but a lifelong journey.

Day 2 … off to another great day of learning , refining, sharpening our eyes and being available to learn from the Master!

Dark Horse Pilates Course 2 – Day 1 complete.

Today was filled with hard work, focused study, thoughtful discussion, and hours of movement. These teachers are committed to learning not just the exercises, but the deeper concepts and principles that create truly transformative teaching.

We are incredibly fortunate to learn from Janice Dulak, whose knowledge and experience were passed down directly from Romana Kryzanowska. Preserving and sharing this lineage is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Everyone worked diligently today to absorb, understand, and embody this remarkable body of work. I have no doubt there will be some sore muscles tomorrow—but those are simply signs of growth and progress.

The pursuit of mastery continues.

To a child, the Trapeze Table feels like a playground.
They swing, climb, hang, and laugh—but underneath the fun, they’re building strength, coordination, concentration, confidence, and body awareness. It’s one of the most enjoyable ways for children and young athletes to learn movement while developing a strong and healthy body. 💪✨
Way to go Magnolia and Sheppard!
