Pat Guyton ~ In the Elder’s words

Send us a text


Second Generation Pilates instructors, like myself are referred
to as such because we’ve had the privilege of learning the Method
from one of Joseph Pilates’ disciples. But there are a handful of
us who have had the opportunity to work with more than one
disciple and and one of those instructor’s is my guest today. Her
name is Pat Guyton. Though Pat wouldn’t begin her Pilates journey
until 1984, she actually met Bruce King 1976, the first of 3 Joe
Pilates disciples that she would eventually, work with. Then in
1992, she met and began learning Pilates with the second
disciple, Kathy Grant and then Ron Fletcher in 1995 - these 3
First Generation teachers, among others who studied with Joe, are
known to us as the Pilates Elders. Of the three teachers, Ron
Fletcher had the biggest impact on Pat. She spent thirteen years
working for and along side him. She completed over 90 workshops
from 1995 - 2006. So impressed Ron was in Pat’s diligence and
hard work, she became a senior teacher, then he named her master
teacher as well as an assistant for his Ron Fletcher method. She
was also awarded a Certificate of Merit by Ron in 1997 and
2006.
Pat is a published author, a Level Three Franklin Method
educator, an alumni board member of the PMA and spent a decade as
a registered physical medicine assistant at Boulder Osteopathic
Center.
