Ron Fletcher is one of the 3 master teachers still alive who worked with Joseph and Clara Pilates. Ron was given their blessing to go on and disseminate and develop the method. Now aged 87, Ron is still teaching worldwide and devising new work.

In addition to being a student of Pilates, Ron was also a Martha Graham dancer and his love of movement is inscribed in his development of Pilates¡¯ work. He has not only expanded the Pilates repertoire on the original pieces of equipment but has added TOWELWORK and FLOORWORK which are entirely his and unique to his program of study.
