Mastering Precision: It’s in Your Hands 🤛🏼✨✋🏻and feet 👣
Precision in Pilates is all about intentional movement, accuracy, and refinement. It is a foundational principle that focuses on quality over quantity, ensuring your muscles and joints work optimally without generating unnecessary tension.
Did you know your hands play a critical role in achieving this? They serve as your personal technique anchors, key contact points, and sensory guides that directly influence the rest of your body.
Want to elevate your precision next class? Try this:
* The pinky connection: Focus on pressing through your ring and pinky fingers. Connecting to your last two fingers immediately fires up your triceps and lats, knitting the movement directly into your back body.
* Find your powerhouse: Intentionally distributing pressure through your hands helps stabilize your upper body and deep abdominals.

Romana would of been 103 today.
Every day I hear her in my head and come out in my teaching. She was my first Pilates mentor who showed me what it is to be a teacher. I strive to be that teacher every day. I feel blessed!

True strength comes from mastering the basics and deepening your relationship with each exercise, again and again. That’s how we create real change in our bodies and minds.
Do I need to repeat this?
Read it again and tell me your thoughts.

At THE PILATES STANDARD, we believe that great teaching starts with understanding the Method as a complete system—not just movements, but the principles, history, and purpose behind them. TPS was founded to preserve the authentic Classical Pilates Method developed by Joseph Pilates and passed down through Romana Kryzanowska and Bob Liekens. (thepilatesstandard.com)
In a world full of shortcuts, trends, and quick certifications, we remain committed to depth, mentorship, and excellence.
We teach teachers to:
• Understand the method in their own bodies
• Think critically rather than memorize choreography
• Teach with confidence and purpose
• Preserve the integrity of the Classical Pilates Method
• Inspire the next generation of movers and teachers
As Bob Liekens often reminded us:
“Be the Rembrandt of Pilates.”
Master the fundamentals. Trust the system. Honor the work.
This is more than teacher training.
This is a commitment to excellence.

Is there Precision in your Pilates?
It’s one of the six principals of Pilates. It should be! Why? Because knowing where your body is in space from head to toe is part of the awareness and mindfulness. It is also for safety!
