“Outside of Pilates, Kaz is an internationally known artist, singer/songwriter, and music producer. He founded his own music and book publishing company called Rockinbird Records.

It was a gift and a blessing to meet Romana. She traveled to PAPT several times a year and would typically stay up to 12 days for 9-day workshops. I remember she always enjoyed ending a long day of work with a glass of wine and meaningful conversation. She shared so many stories about her life, both pre, and post-Pilates, always speaking highly of her experience training under Joseph Pilates and his wife, Clara. Romana believed in the essence of Pilates as ‘complete coordination of the body, mind, and spirit.’ Under her direction, I, too, became a believer in the Pilates philosophy. I am forever grateful for Romana’s guidance, friendship, and love. “
