Our PhilosophyA Deeper Way of Learning.

Integrating evidence-based movement science and current research in anatomy and movement.

Honouring the Classical Pilates Tradition through Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska.
Our Lineage
Classical Pilates has been passed down through direct students of Joseph Pilates, each carrying forward aspects of his original work. At Altum Academy, we honour this legacy by learning from and respecting multiple lineages, including those of Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska, two of the most influential first-generation teachers.
Our approach is not about following one voice alone, but preserving the integrity of the method while recognising the richness that comes from different interpretations. This is what makes our method unique: we blend the wisdom of these lineages with modern movement science, offering a learning experience that is both rooted in tradition and responsive to today’s world.
