Lineage is crucial in Pilates training and certification because it strictly adheres to the founding father’s teachings, which produced remarkable results. It is important to emphasize here that, as stated above, the Senior Master Teacher Trainer and Master Teacher Trainer at Authentic Pilates Learning Center LLC were trained by Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’s first protégé. This makes Romana Kryzanowska a FIRST GENERATION instructor to Joseph Pilates. Our teacher trainers are SECOND GENERATION instructors to Joseph Pilates. Therefore, the students we certify at Authentic Pilates Learning Center LLC will be THIRD GENERATION to Joseph Pilates.

Authentic Pilates Learning Center is the primary center for the APLC Teacher Training Program, offering a variety of teacher certification programs and workshops in Mahwah, NJ.

We are a state-of-the-art 2,000 square foot Pilates studio, fully equipped with Gratz and Basil equipment, including multiple reformers, Cadillacs, high chairs, wunda chairs, towers, small chairs, pedi-poles, and auxiliary equipment.
