Authentic Method Pilates

Authentic Method Pilates Two beautiful studios to serve our clients. Upper East Side, Manhattan and Port Jefferson, Long Island. The space is light and clean, refreshing and energizing.

Authentic Method Pilates offers great instruction in a non-competitive, friendly atmosphere. Every detail has been considered in the planning of the space to be comfortable and functional for our clients. Founded by Vivian Piccone Jung, the studio is equipped with reformers, tower, trapeze table, ladder barrel, Pilates chair and arc from manufacturers Basil Pilates, Balanced Body , Gratz, and Deborah Lessen. To complete the training experience we have installed imported Italian sport flooring (a unique padded flooring that is constructed to support the body while also cushioning) and a custom ballet barre with floor to ceiling mirrors. Authentic Method Pilates studio is an ideal place for individuals who wish to move their bodies and minds into wellness and health. At our studio, Classic Pilates Method is expertly used to bring our clients into balance and strength. Our clients appreciate our ability to understand the depth of Joseph Pilates’ work and to continue his spirit of innovation. By thoroughly grasping the history and roots of Joe Pilates’ method, Contrology, we are able to build and expand on his principles and foundations to create specific, personalized programs. We welcome individuals of all levels of fitness. We train athletes and dancers to perform better in their professions, we assist those with injuries to recover and reduce pain, and we work with “regular” people who simply want to build strength and increase fitness. Stop by or contact us with your questions.

We are preparing our team for March; Contrology Basic System. There is so much to master just to be prepared for the program. Everyone works together to lift the group as one unit. The focus is on precision and control, understanding the details and the process that builds the body.

We are reviewing theory, principles and practice. Today was the reformer.

The Contrology program is sold out but we are compiling the list for 2027. We welcome all teachers who are striving for excellence, are excited to work hard and dig deep into themselves to be the best humans they can be.

Message if you are interested.

Follow the progress of the team until March when Inelia Garcia will be here to present the module to us. I will be posting our practice session highlights.

Until March it’s practice, practice!!!

Today’s practice was intermediate reformer in the Authentic Pilates system.

We revisited the progressions for some of the exercises that help to set up the body for better perfomance.

Mindful practice so we can teach mindful sessions to our students.

Our first preparatory training class for the Advanced Contrology Basic System!!

Our local teachers came to the studio and our teachers who live far away were online.
It was so fun to be together with everyone.

We reviewed the progressions for the basic mat and then performed the 7 exercises with flow and transitions.

The word basic is misleading because, in Pilates, the basic system means simply the foundation. This foundation is what sets up the body for success in all aspects of movement, sports, dance, every day activities, it’s truly the base for a healthy body and mind.

Perfecting the basic system is what allows the body to function better every day. It sets up the person for success in the more advanced Pilates movements. I practice the basics every day.

I am so excited for this group of teachers as we embark on this amazing journey with Inelia Garcia to perfect our own practices and our teaching skills.

The transformation has begun!

We have one remaining spot open in the program. Message if you would like to join us.

A Pilates birthday party at the studio today.

Yveline conducted a fun class for a lovely 24th birthday party.

The girls had a toast after class to the two birthday girls. What a beautiful group of women!!

A hundred ways to do the 100 (well at least 10 variations) 😊💪

We were exploring the system by using the 100 as a way of experiencing one exercise done on different apparatus - with some variations.

The creativity of Authentic Pilates lies in the ability to know how to change something within the framework of the system to benefit the student and create magic!

This is the art and science of the method that makes me so grateful to Inelia Garcia!! She brings all this together in her training.
