Pilates Pairings: Lineage & Legacy
Pilates Pairings: Lineage & Legacy. The Lineages of Ron Fletcher and Romana Kryzanowska
Event Description
April 17–18, 2027 Warsaw
Instructors:
- Kyria Sabin – Ron Fletcher Lineage
(with a Fletcher Pilates assistant from Europe) - Michael Fritzke & Ton Voogt – Romana Kryzanowska Lineage
Event Concept
Pilates Pairings: Lineage & Legacy is a unique educational experience designed to explore and compare two incredibly important second-generation Pilates lineages through movement, teaching philosophy, and a practical approach to the method.
The workshops are designed to help teachers and advanced practitioners better understand:
- how lineage influences movement quality,
- how the teacher’s language affects the learning process,
- and how subsequent generations interpreted and developed Joseph Pilates’ original work.
During the event, two unique worlds of movement will converge.
On one side, the classical Romana Kryzanowska lineage – based on structure, precision, the rhythm of the classical sequence, and a traditional approach to Contrology.
On the other side, the Ron Fletcher lineage – more organic and expressive, developing movement through breath, fluidity, work in space, and the influence of modern dance and Martha Graham’s technique.
This meeting of two perspectives creates an inspiring space between classical structure and movement expression – demonstrating how diversely the Pilates method can evolve while remaining true to its foundations.

Dzień 1
Filozofia nauczania i zasady ruchu
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY & MOVEMENT PRINCIPLES
Fundamenty dwóch linii nauczania Pilates
Movement Philosophy & Teaching Principles
Pierwszy dzień poświęcony będzie filozofii ruchu, jakości nauczania oraz charakterystycznym elementom każdej linii.
Uczestnicy poznają fundamentalne różnice w sposobie prowadzenia ruchu, organizacji ciała oraz budowania doświadczenia ruchowego.
Uczestnicy poznają między innymi:
- integrację oddechu, pracy w pozycji stojącej i rytmu w podejściu Rona Fletchera
- wpływ tańca modern i techniki Marthy Graham na Fletcher Pilates
- klasyczne podejście Romany Kryzanowskiej oparte na strukturze Contrology
- precyzję ruchu i płynne przejścia charakterystyczne dla klasycznej linii
- różnice w cueingu, budowaniu sekwencji oraz intencji ruchu
Mat & Standing Movement Practice
Pierwszego dnia przestrzenie pozostaną otwarte do pracy na macie oraz ruchu ogólnego.
Reformery zostaną odsunięte na bok, aby uczestnicy mogli skoncentrować się na jakości ruchu, organizacji ciała oraz świadomości centrum.
Praktyka obejmuje:
- integrację pozycji stojącej
- inicjację ruchu z centrum
- oddech jako wsparcie ruchu
- rytm i płynność przejść
- obecność oraz jakość ruchu
Classical Structure & Flow
Uczestnicy poznają klasyczne zasady organizacji lekcji, strukturę Contrology oraz sposób budowania flow w praktyce Pilates.
Szczególna uwaga zostanie poświęcona relacji pomiędzy:
- precyzją i płynnością ruchu
- strukturą a kreatywnością prowadzenia
- rytmem i oddechem
- intencją ruchu i jego funkcją
- techniką oraz doświadczeniem ciała
To dzień skupiony na jakości, świadomości oraz głębszym rozumieniu ruchu.
Teacher’s Eye & Observation
Istotnym elementem dnia będzie rozwijanie umiejętności obserwacji oraz świadomego języka nauczyciela.
Uczestnicy uczą się nie tylko wykonywania ćwiczeń, ale przede wszystkim sposobu analizowania ruchu i prowadzenia ciała.
Tematy przewodnie:
- język nauczyciela i jakość cueingu
- obserwacja organizacji ciała
- analiza wzorców ruchowych
- budowanie obecności w ruchu
- świadoma komunikacja poprzez ruch
To dzień budujący fundament pod głębsze rozumienie obu tradycji nauczania Pilates.
Day 2
Comparative Reformer Lab
10 EXERCISES · 2 TEACHING PERSPECTIVES
A practical comparison of two teaching lineages
Comparative Reformer Practice
The second day will be dedicated to a practical comparison of the teaching approaches of both lineages.
Participants will analyze the same exercises on the Universal Reformer through two different pedagogical perspectives.
Based on approximately 10 selected exercises, instructors will demonstrate:
- the intention of movement
- the pace of work
- cueing
- transitions
- corrections
- rhythm
- breath work
- the philosophy behind the exercise
This format allows participants to experience how the same exercise can be interpreted in different ways, while remaining rooted in Joseph Pilates' original method.
Workshop Structure & Group Rotation
The workshops are held in an intimate format, allowing for a more immersive educational experience.
Participants will be divided into two groups:
- Group A
- Group B
Each group works with one teacher in the morning and then moves to the second teaching lineage in the afternoon.
This arrangement allows participants to fully explore both pedagogical approaches and experience the differences in leading Reformer work.
A maximum of 2 participants will be assigned per Reformer.
Participants will work on both classical and contemporary reformers, experiencing the differences between the two constructions and their impact on movement quality and teaching style.
Daily Schedule & Community Experience
The day will be divided into a morning session, a community gathering, and an afternoon session.

Pilates Reformer Tower Workshop with Michael King & Malcolm Muirhead
Why are such meetings important?
Development in the Pilates method does not end with a single training. It is a process that matures through dialogue, observation, and practice. Meetings with mentors and teachers from various backgrounds allow for a new perspective on movement, a deeper understanding of the method, and the discovery of one’s own teaching style. That is why Sinya Pilates events are created as a space where knowledge meets experience, and the community of instructors grows through shared learning and inspiration.
