PilatesPosters

One of the many goals of the Pilates Source® is to promote the work of Joseph H. Pilates, that is, The Pilates Method as close as possible to how Joe intended. One of the ways the Pilates Source® does this is through the posters, pictures and cards sold here on our Etsy page. Some of the funds from this store go directly to help restore and maintain Joe and Clara Pilates property and studio in the Berkshires. The studio is mostly rehabilitated and is half working studio and the first Pilates museum in the world.

The Return to Life Poster shows Joe exemplifying his 34 original mat exercises in the order in and way he intended for the matwork to be done. As owner of the Sean Gallagher's Pilates Archives™ collection and designer of the poster, we also offer many other unique and copyrighted posters, pictures and cards to help pilates teachers, Home and commercial studio owners add a little bit of Pilates Historics™ to their walls or for personal use. (Any commercial use of the copyrighted materials needs to be licensed specifically through Richtone Design Group LLC. )

The Pilates Anatomy Posters are copies of the original posters Joseph Pilates had hanging in his own studio. Joe claimed to be the model for these posters ( We now know this not to be true). In many photographs of Joe's original studio, these posters can be seen hanging on the walls. They are a great way to bring a little pilates history and stories of interest to your studio or to inspire a workout.

The Pilates Guild 1998 Calendar Pictures are historical in that they were released in 1998 in calendar form and sold to Oilayes Inc teachers. These pictures are cut from the unsold calendars, our store is the only place you will find these archival pictures available as images to hang on your studio walls.

The Spine Corrector and Bench Mat Posters are original Joseph Pilates posters to go along with his equipment for home use. In the 1940's, Joe's photos on his equipment were traced and used as the pictures on these posters, and the descriptions on how to do the exercises are his. This is the only place to find exercise descriptions in his own words for the Spine Corrector and Bench Mat.

The Authentic Pilates t-shirts and The Pilates Studio t-shirts are vintage shirts issued by Pilates Inc. the owner of the Pilates trademark in the late 1990's and now available again until they are sold out!
