Three years later, another move - this time to West Hollywood above the famous TOI Thai restaurant on Sunset Blvd., and named this larger commercial space, Studio Darien.ĭarien would go on to produce two award-winning Apps and four DVDs and helped to prepare newer teachers for a career in the Pilates field.Īfter fourteen years of running and operating Studio Darien, Darien’s “inner compass” told her it was time to expand further and to the dismay of her Los Angeles clientele, moved north to Sonoma County in 2013 and opened this time, a home studio. As her practice grew, mostly by word of mouth, she moved into a larger space and invested in a Cadillac, additional reformers, chairs and barrels. She spent the next few years incorporating Pilates into her dance classes while completing her classical Pilates program then certifying in 1997.ĭrawing on her prior gymnastics training, Darien combined her disciplines and began teaching in her Hollywood, CA apartment.

When another dancer introduced Darien Gold to the Pilates method in 1992, Darien felt an immediate connection to the work and soon after, began studying with Romana Kryzanowska, a star disciple of Joseph Pilates.Īs a professional dancer and dance teacher, the Pilates technique was a natural for Darien. And it’s not surprising professional athletes and dancers motivated by the need for longevity in their careers have embraced his method, especially when healing from injuries. Even if there is already an existing orthopedic rehab program, Contrology will enhance it. Joe also envisioned his method in all hospitals. A strong work ethic develops and carries over into other facets of life. Can you imagine beginning the school day with a bit of Contrology to allow the students to settle in, calm down, breathe, stretch tight limbs and then be prepared to learn? As Joe said, the entire world one day would practice Contrology and I do see that day approaching.We start early with grade school children and use the Pilates method to foster self-awareness and self-discipline. And perhaps there will come a time when instead of teaching only general sports at school, a special class devoted to the wellness of the whole student will be offered.
My vision for the future was Joe’s vision: That his method will be accepted and embraced by every public and private school.
