OSP - Old School Pilates

We love receiving packages from ❤️

Classical Pilates equipment from Vigevano/Italy.

We always have spring-time in our studio, no matter what season.

2026 has started off beautifully:
Lots of snow, a visitor from far away (former NY client), and all my clients conquering the snow and making their way to the studio, no matter how cold, icy and slippery the roads were.
I am so proud of your commitment!

Let’s go 2026,
here we go, roll, curve, scoop, twist, reach and teaser up, up , up :)

Psssssss….

My Master Trainer, the late Bob Liekens used to say: “Your breath is your music.”
- B. L. (1955 - 2018)

His quote is to the point, so poetic and so special coming from a dancer.

In a world where there is a lot of noise, go find the silence.

Today nr 18 of our PTS (Pilates Transliterated) series.

Enjoy the silence during your workout :)

Happy Halloween 🎃

Time for “Trick or Teaser” today.

In the process of organizing the event I literally came across my first boutique location in De Pijp in Amsterdam. I found the place, or the place found me, in any case, serendipity.

10 years later I am still on my mission to inform and educate as many people as possible about the original Pilates method, also referred to as Classical Pilates. The next round of OSP teacher training will be in spring of 2026.
