For the past three days, I have had the enormous privilege of celebrating Balanced Body’s 50th Anniversary at Pilates on Tour, Sacramento. Ken Endelman took a chance on the Pilates apparatus at a time only a handful of people knew of Pilates. The apparatus he built and hand delivered ultimately lead to the creation of Balanced Body Education and the careers of countless educators, mentors, and students of the method. Balanced Body pioneered the equipment, established quality teacher training, and fought to ensure all of us could use the word Pilates. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity that Balanced Body has afforded me as a student, a teacher, and as a studio owner. Wishing Ken and everyone at Balanced Body continued success as they lead the way into the next 50 years 🎉
