The Pilates Standard – Honoring Tradition. Inspiring Excellence.

At The Pilates Standard, we believe that understanding where the Pilates Method comes from is essential to understanding its true depth and purpose.

Our educational foundation is rooted in the direct lineage of Joseph Pilates, carried forward through his protégé Romana Kryzanowska and preserved through the teachings of our founding educator, Bob Liekens. Their dedication to the authentic Classical Pilates Method continues to guide everything we teach today.

Founded in 2012, TPS was created with a clear mission: to preserve the integrity, precision, and brilliance of the original method while educating future generations of Pilates teachers.

The lineage shown below represents more than a family tree of teachers. It reflects a living tradition of knowledge, mentorship, and excellence that has been passed from one generation to the next. Through this connection, we honor the past while ensuring that the authentic work of Joseph Pilates continues to thrive around the world.
