So lovely to listen to all three videos. I wonder about the piano player though. I feel that it was Joe, is this the exercise mentioned? https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=joseph+pilates+video+wunda+chair+&view=detail&mid=77748DE4F20DABD314CE77748DE4F20DABD314CE&FORM=VIRE

Thank you for listening to me droning on and trying to pull the facts out of the dark recesses of my mind…….52 years later!
I think you are referring to ‘The Piano Lesson’ which is ‘Frog Facing Front , Hands on Peddle’ .
None of the images you included show that exercise.

Thank you! I was rather long-winded but I am so passionate about my short time with Joe Pilates.
However since that interview I have realized that I confused Mary Pilates with Hannah and I will be correcting that with another short interview soon.

Ahhh it did and then the video continued on 🙂 I am so enjoying hearing all about JP from someone who trained directly with him! MIND BLOWN! Thank you for sharing Sonje and greetings from Douglasdale in Johannesburg!

Oh wow China…..so good to hear from you in Josie. I had no idea that Pilatesology had such a tremendous reach!
We can thank Alisa for that.

This so amazing and fascinating. Is it just me or does video 3 suddenly turn into video 2 from: “people off the street…”?

I found it! Her link is broken under the teachers area but the one under classes works. Thanks again for such interesting content.

Thank you! This series is fascinating! I tried to find the online sessions with Sonja Mayo and the links all come up as errors. I even tried clicking on her name under the “Teachers” area. I guess these sessions are no longer available?

More please! 🙂

Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you all know that we have booked a date for Sonje to visit us and film a workshop and mat classes! The dates are Thurs June 15 & Fri June 16th at our studio in Hermosa Beach. If you’re interested in attending the workshop, please send an email to: studio@pilatesology.com with Sonje Workshop in the subject. Thank you for your wonderful comments, we are thrilled to be able to bring you more Sonje!

Looking forward to seeing Sonje Mayo’s Mat class. It would be wonderful to see her participate.
Great Stuff.

Question for Sonje regarding her own workout….is she able to do a workout each day for herself? She is in such beautiful shape!

Hi Susan,
Pilates has been my lifesaver, especially when I retired from professional dance.
As I have scoliosis, I do a modified version of Pilates so that my curves do not get worse.
Normally I do one strong advanced equipment session and one or two Mat classes per week. Joe felt that Pilates done conscientiously 3 times a week was adequate.
However, I am mindful about my posture in daily living and when I teach……always have my ‘navel in and up’ and work for elongation of the spine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It’s just so interesting and delightfull to watch and listen to you two! This is addictive!!
I would like to see more and like “the pilateshere” I would be delighted to see Sonje teaching! -
Thank you Alisa for interviewing Sonje! I am so blessed to have been trained by her and continue to have her as my mentor. She is so disciplined in everything she does and she demands the best from all her students. My friends and I love every time Sonje tells a story about Joe and Clara & always say that we need to have these all on film. We also have an ongoing list of “Sonjeisms”. I do wish that there will be a video of Sonje teaching a class. Her voice, the rhythm, her energy and presence all create this flow like no other teacher! THANK YOU!!!

Love! Love! Love! Okay, after watching all three of these videos and loving the little Pearls of Wisdom that have been shared, I have to know, where did Sonje get her leggings! Totally unrelated but I love them!

The leggings are from Vimmia. Sorry about my late response.
