Authentic Method Pilates

Two beautiful studios to serve our clients. Upper East Side, Manhattan and Port Jefferson, Long Island. The space is light and clean, refreshing and energizing.

Authentic Method Pilates offers great instruction in a non-competitive, friendly atmosphere. Every detail has been considered in the planning of the space to be comfortable and functional for our clients. Founded by Vivian Piccone Jung, the studio is equipped with reformers, tower, trapeze table, ladder barrel, Pilates chair and arc from manufacturers Basil Pilates, Balanced Body , Gratz, and Deborah Lessen. To complete the training experience we have installed imported Italian sport flooring (a unique padded flooring that is constructed to support the body while also cushioning) and a custom ballet barre with floor to ceiling mirrors. Authentic Method Pilates studio is an ideal place for individuals who wish to move their bodies and minds into wellness and health. At our studio, Classic Pilates Method is expertly used to bring our clients into balance and strength. Our clients appreciate our ability to understand the depth of Joseph Pilates’ work and to continue his spirit of innovation. By thoroughly grasping the history and roots of Joe Pilates’ method, Contrology, we are able to build and expand on his principles and foundations to create specific, personalized programs. We welcome individuals of all levels of fitness. We train athletes and dancers to perform better in their professions, we assist those with injuries to recover and reduce pain, and we work with “regular” people who simply want to build strength and increase fitness. Stop by or contact us with your questions.

We are so grateful to host Tom Myers this year for his “Finding Your True Pelvis” workshop.

This workshop was, not only about the anatomy and function of this part of the body, but it was a deeper message of uniting all of our disciplines for the betterment of the human condition.

I am so grateful for the knowledge and energy that this group brought to the studio. We had national and international professionals from several disciplines join together to learn from Tom Myers. He taught from the wealth of knowledge that he has developed over his long career of research and training. This was such a special event for everyone.

As pilates teachers, this work supports what we do and deepens our ability to work with clients and help each individual.

We are always advancing our knowledge of the body mind and spirit. Tom has been doing groundbreaking work that has impacted the community and will continue to do so. It was such an honor to have him here again this year. Therapist, body workers, Pilates teachers, biomechanics engineers , and interested citizens all came together to learn from this incredible human.

I am so glad that our studio was able to bring all these people together. Looking forward to next time!

Finding Your True Pelvis - 14 hrs
February 28-March 1, 2026
NYC
Link in bio to register or DM

We want a pelvis that is both ’neutral’ to our legs and spine, but free for our movement. Too often they contradict - if I’m neutral it’s not free; if I’m free, it’s not neutral. In this workshop, we go through the full spectrum of 20+ muscles that surround the hips:

• Learn to visually ‘read’ what is going on in our clients’ joints, and adjust accordingly.
• Learn a functional, testable definition of pelvic neutral that recognizes individual variability
• Learn how knees and feet contribute to low-back stability above your ’neutral’

Starting with the abductor ‘deltoid of the hip’, we will tour around each muscle, including the deep lateral rotators, adductors, and hip flexors / psoas group - palpating, showing visual and functional assessments, strengthening and stretching approaches.

Know your own pelvis better, and have more confidence working with others.

We are excited to announce that Tom Myers will be joining us in-person to present his new workshop Finding Your True Pelvis.

The Year of the Fire Horse is upon us!! Come to our free class to prepare your mind and body for this energetic year. The Fire Horse symbolizing intense energy, rapid change, and pioneering, independent action. Combining the Horse (already a fire element sign) with the Fire element creates a “Double Fire” effect, signifying a high-tempo year favoring ambition and boldness while potentially causing upheaval.

It is super important to ground ourselves this year. A grounded body can make the right decisions and create great success from this intense energy. We will join together to get ready for this once-in-60-years event!!

Message for the registration link.

Our fantastic teacher, Carolina, is in Brasil for the teacher training. Building her skills and perfecting her teaching. Continuing the legacy!!

Why would a Pilates teacher return for more education after 20 years of experience? The teachers in these photos have from one year to almost 30 years experience teaching pilates.

People always ask why I go back year after year to these trainings. They wonder what I get out of this after so much education already.

Inelia Garcia teaches with such depth and passion, we learn more every time we come to the Basic Module, or any module, workshop or CE. Everyone feels like a student. No one designates themself as a “master”. We all are here to learn more, help each other and feel the energy that Inelia always generously gives to us all.

These experienced instructors (who came to see observe and help new trainees) are experts. They posses deep knowledge but they come back to see the basic module again and again. They do this to be even better teachers for their students. They don’t show off their great knowledge. They don’t self promote to make themselves popular. They simply make themselves the best teachers and human beings that they can. They respect the lineage of the art and science of Authentic Pilates passed from Joseph Pilates to Roman Krysanowska to Inelia Garcia.

It is always an honor to share the room with them. And always life changing to be in the presence of Inelia Garcia.

In NYC we are preparing for the Advanced Contrology program in March. We will bring together teachers from all over the country and the world who want to join this lineage and learn from Inelia. Stay tuned!

Always an honor to witness the teacher training program at Authentic Pilates Inelia Garcia in São Paulo Brazil.

This is a very intensive program. The students are in the midst of the basic module of the certification program. This is the third day of their module and they had a full day of training, but they are practicing again tonight.

They work together as a team helping each other and practicing with each other - as the teacher and the student. Two more days of this module will complete the basic and then they will have a few months to practice in between before the test and then the intermediate module.

The total program takes about one year to get through. But it’s just the beginning of a lifetime of learning and discovering more and more about the body, under the guidance of the amazing and Inelia Garcia.

I can’t wait for the Advanced Contrology program that we will have in New York starting on March 5. (We are also practicing and training for that program both online and in person. )
