Caroline Berger de Fémynie, a Pilates instructor, shares her philosophy on programming in Pilates, emphasizing that it is a living art centered on listening to and understanding the client's body and history before designing a movement path. She describes her training from Merrithew, which provided rigor, and her studio, Biopilates, where she learned patience, blending these influences. Her approach is grounded in the six fundamental principles of STOTT PILATES®, viewing each as essential for bodily awareness and progression, and she outlines a methodical process of mobilization, trunk awakening, and peripheral strengthening. Ultimately, the author believes that Pilates programming is about fostering respect for the body, encouraging peaceful progress, and guiding individuals towards greater freedom and confidence, rather than merely focusing on performance.
