Pilates emigrated to the USA in the early 1920’s, opening a ‘body conditioning studio’ with his wife Clara in New York in 1926. The studio featured much of the apparatus designed to enhance his rehabilitation work. This studio soon became very popular, particularly in the dance community, as it offered a chance to improve technique or recover from injury.
In 1932 Pilates published the booklet Your Health, and followed this with Return to Life Through Contrology in 1945. Through his writings and teachings, his method of exercise continued to be practiced after his death in 1967, at the age of 87. Pilates’ method of exercise was called Contrology, until after his death when it became known as Pilates, or the Pilates method.
In just 80 years the number of people practicing Pilates worldwide is estimated to be nearly 15 million, with over 15,000 instructors. Joseph Pilates’ legacy lives on.
