Celebrating 30 Years of Pilates Excellence with June Hines!
Three decades ago, June Hines set out on a mission to transform lives through the authentic Pilates method. This year, we are incredibly proud to celebrate her 30th anniversary of teaching.
As a certified Romana's Pilates Teacher Trainer, June’s influence reaches far beyond our studio walls. She has spent the last 30 years not only guiding clients to their personal best but also mentoring countless regional teachers through the Romana's Pilates training program. Her lifelong commitment to workshops, events, and her own personal practice ensures that everyone who walks through our doors learns how to do their finest work with the body they have.
Certified on October 3, 1996, June Hines trained with Romana Kryzanowska and Sari Mejia Santo in New York City at Drago's Gymnasium. Shortly after becoming certified June gave birth to Matthew Morfopoulos and she, Andy, and Matthew moved to Pennsylvania. As they bought their first home June 25th, 1997, the required list for the home was a space for a Pilates studio, a drum room for Andy and a sizable yard for Matthew.
June taught her first client, Mary Alice Cullinan (who still does her weekly lesson) in her home studio in August 1997. Also August 1997 June began teaching at the Performing Arts Physical Therapy/Pilates studio at the then Pennsylvania Ballet. As chance would have it, the Philadelphia Inquirer was doing an article on alternative workouts and movement in their Mother's Day 1998 Sunday paper. June was interviewed and from the article's exposure increased her client base. She directed the studio at the PA Ballet for 7 years while continuing her teaching at her home studio and also teaching classes at the Abington Arts Center for 11 years.
As Romana began her own teaching training organization in 2003, June was asked to be a teacher trainer. She wholeheartedly accepted and began training teachers. As more and more teachers were trained, they became part of our team at June Hines Pilates. June Hines Pilates has 3 locations: Rydal since 1997, Hilltown (formerly Doylestown) since 2006, and Jenkintown since 2016. Our entire team of teachers are proud to share and teach the work that we learned from Romana, Sari, and Daria Pace (granddaughter of Romana) in its purest form created by Joseph Pilates.
