The Pilates Center

The Pilates Center The Pilates Center is an internationally renowned studio providing the best in classical Pilates! We offer private lessons and group classes.

Two sisters, Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel, trained under Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates' protege and inheritor of his studio in NYC. In 1990 the sisters founded their studio, The Pilates Center in Boulder and created their Teacher Training Program with Romana in 1991. They have strived to foster the legacy and tradition of the original, classical method of Pilates and continue to

develop the highest caliber of teachers, with the most comprehensive and in-depth classical teacher program available. Our goal at TPC is not just to teach you how to do Pilates but how to heal people with Pilates. Our commitment is to health. It’s our mission to heal the world by helping people heal themselves with Pilates - that was Joseph Pilates’ ultimate desire. Almost anyone who wants to can learn how to be a Pilates Instructor. You can get a certification over a weekend! We believe this is merely the starting point and does little to truly allow the instructor to assess each client’s unique needs and provide them with the life changing possibilities Pilates so powerfully offers – the potential to truly heal and, thereby, “return to life.”

True teaching requires a profound level of both deeper knowledge of the subject matter and a calling to truly care for the unique nature of each client’s personal journey back to full mind-body-spirit health. And that is the approach we embrace when teaching our clients and training our future teachers through our various Teacher Training Programs.
