"We have been taking Pilates instruction from Adrienne Silveira for several months and find it very rewarding. Our life is busy. We have relied on weight lifting and aerobic exercises for keep fit for skiing and other physical pursuits, but were concerned that our flexibility and range of motion were gradually getting worse instead of better. Adrienne's training has addressed these areas as well as increasing our strength, particularly abdominal and back strength. Our ski coach has even noticed a difference. Adrienne has talent to help people progress with fitness regardless of whether they are just starting the program or whether they work out on a regular schedule. She makes workouts as much fun as possible and inspirational. The consciousness and control that Adrienne has helped us achieve also helps with looking and feeling better every day."

Romana's Legacy

Romana Kryzanowska, June 30, 1923 - August 30, 2013

Adrienne’s mentor and teacher Romana Kryzanowska passed away at the age of ninety. As a young dancer with George Balanchine, Romana met Joseph Pilates, the man who was to change her life, when she was sent to him for an ankle injury. Thus began the relationship that lasted a lifetime first as his protégée, then as instructor and finally as Master teacher and keeper of the true classic Pilates Method. Romana and her daughter Sari Mejia were Adrienne’s first teachers who in time also became dear friends. "I feel so fortunate to have been taught personally by Romana and to have benefited from her 60+ years of teaching experience. I will always remember her humor, love of life, and passion for her work. Romana Kryzanowska was a great lady who gave her heart and soul to her many students."

As a dedicated teacher, Adrienne seeks to educate her students on body awareness, carriage and posture. Adrienne’s mission is to bring out the best in every person and improve their quality of life.
