ABOUT MARIA HYBSZER PILATES
Maria is passionate about Pilates and what it can do for body and wellbeing. After participating in Pilates mat classes for several years, Maria decided she would love to teach others the benefits she was getting from Pilates. After taking early retirement from her teaching career, she had the time to train in matwork locally through Hanson Pilates, now Intelligent Fitness. Maria gained a CYQ Level 3 Certificate in Teaching Mat Pilates in December 2011 and taught mat classes for Hanson Pilates and Alba Pilates.
After being introduced to the Pilates apparatus and Classical Pilates, Maria couldn't resist taking that on as well. She was trained in classical Pilates matwork at Foundation and Level 1 through Corpus Pilates which was delivered by Classical Pilates UK in Troon, qualification gained in December 2014. A Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Programme was then taken at Troon which included the Pilates apparatus in addition to the matwork. Certificate gained in May 2016 after logging 450 hours of observing, practising and teaching the Pilates Method.
Continuing to learn is important to Maria and she has now been certified by New York Pilates Studio after doing a bridging programme which makes her a 3rd generation Pilates teacher teaching authentic Pilates. Joseph Pilates taught Romana Kryzanowski, who in turn taught both Junghee Won and Sean Gallagher, who then taught Maria. The supervised hours for this training were with Don McPherson from Classical Pilates UK at Troon.

About Pilates
Pilates is a full body workout which was called Contrology by its creator, Joseph Pilates. In his book 'Return to Life through Contrology', originally published in 1945, we find the following quote:
"Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit."
The name 'Contrology' became 'Pilates' after the death of Joseph Pilates. Whether mat or studio apparatus, Pilates is now popular with all ages and fitness levels.
The Pilates Method engages body and mind and provides a refreshing and energising workout which will improve flexibility, strength and stability.
