The Pilates Center founders, Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel, are firm believers in the idea that when you heal yourself you can ultimately heal the world.
Their 32nd Birthday Bash this year honors their rich history and impact around the world. Amy and Rachel are amazed and humbled at how far and wide they have been able to share the teachings of Joseph Pilates. “Our reach has truly expanded to include the world.”
After training under Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’ protégé, Amy and Rachel have continued to teach the original classical method of Pilates. For over 30 years, they have made it their mission to heal the world by empowering people to transform their health and “Return to Life” through Pilates. From the studio they founded in Boulder, CO in 1990 to the teachers they’ve helped to train around the world, their passion and commitment to Pilates and maintaining the integrity of the traditional Pilates method has remained steadfast.
It’s this kind of dedication that inspires so many to join The Pilates Center and learn how to teach themselves. Just hear what some of their clients have to say:
“My favorite thing about The Pilates Center is the caliber of teaching, and the commitment and kindness that Amy and Rachel show towards anyone who walks in the door.”
“No one lets their ego come before the possibility of new knowledge. I have always appreciated their openness of trying to understand how another might be seeing something.”
“Amy and Rachel have taken the knowledge they have, treasured it, expanded it, and adapted it. They’ve kept the spirit of Pilates alive and given us each a piece of it through their legacy.”
It’s no wonder people keep coming back for more—the spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and transformation is palpable at The Pilates Center. And Amy and Rachel can’t wait to celebrate!
“It will be a fun and special time for all of us, and we are excited to continue to spread our mission and love of what Joseph Pilates created as a way to heal the world.”
