Christina Gadar ~ Open Access Pilates Archives

Send us a text


If someone wants to learn the Pilates method, he or she most
likely will sign up for a classical or modern Pilates class.
However, before there was classical or modern, there was just
Joe’s method that he called Contrology, but for some his work is
also referred to as “Archival Pilates.” This term means that
Joe’s exercises are taught and practiced exactly as he documented
and demonstrated. But does anyone “own” these archival exercises?
Well, no, they do not. If someone were to search out a studio
that offers archival Pilates lessons taught on replicas of Joe’s
apparatus designs, they might find a Pilates teacher like
Christina Gadar, our guest today. 


Christina is a Second generation Pilates instructor who not only
teaches Joe’s work at her own space, Gadar Pilates in Sarasota,
Florida, but after almost two years of research has created an
online educational platform called, Open Access Pilates Archives.
It’s her mission to introduce Joe’s original work to Pilates
teachers and enthusiasts by demonstrating the archival method and
she also includes her own notations. Christina is the author of
six books and the creator of the Pilates Animals Workout for
children.
