What is Classical pilates?
Classical Pilates is a traditional, full-body exercise system based on the original teachings of Joseph Pilates and preserved through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska, his protégé. This method—often referred to as Romana’s Pilates—emphasizes core strength, postural alignment, breath, and flowing, precise movement.
At Era Pilates in Indianapolis, we honor the classical tradition by teaching on authentic Pilates equipment, including the Reformer, Mat, Tower, Wunda Chair, and Barrels. These original apparatuses provide essential resistance and feedback, helping clients connect more deeply to each exercise and build balanced, functional strength.
Whether you're looking for Romana's Pilates in Indianapolis, Classical Reformer classes, or a true classical Pilates experience, Era Pilates offers expert instruction rooted in this time-honored method.
