Athens BASI Pilates Conference:
LEARN FROM THE LEADERS
Powerful Women Pioneers in Pilates
September 4-6, 2020
A NYSY Studios event
NYSY Studios is very excited to announce that on September 4-6, 2020 a luminous event will be taking place in Athens organized by NYSY Academy and Vivi Letsou: This BASI Pilates Conference, in the tradition of the Learn from the Leaders events, will be more than a mere Pilates Conference.
Powerful Women Pioneers in Pilates practice and training will be bringing their experience, wisdom, and insight to share with Pilates teachers and practitioners from all over the world and infuse us with fresh power and inspiration.
These inspirational Pilates Workshops will be led by seminal Pilates Masters such as Lolita San Miguel, who was one of the first and foremost students of Joseph Pilates, and one of the first two teachers to be certified by Joseph Pilates. Lolita now is a Master Pilates teacher, and a true leading figure in the Pilates method internationally. Moreover, what is different about this conference, is the aim to shed light in the importance women played in the growth of Pilates.
Joseph Pilates was a powerful and influential man but the support of his wife Clara, a steady and compassionate teacher, cannot be underestimated.
Some of these Powerful Women will be sharing their strong teaching style with us in Athens this September. Of great importance is not only their charisma and talent in teaching Pilates, but the story behind their strength, the obstacles they had to overcome, significant difficulties which served as inspiration that kept them going. It is this story, HERstory, that fuels their power and contribution in Pilates. Each one of the guest teachers, a Powerful Woman Pioneer in Pilates, will have a story to share, and to inspire us with…
You, the audience will get to ask questions and find out the secret behind these women’s successful and powerful teaching careers in Pilates…

This Conference was originally envisioned by Vivi Letsou during the 2019 BASI LFTL Conference in Newport, California. Sensing the Power of so many Women Pioneer Teachers surrounding Rael and BASI gave her the inspiration. Her friend, Pilates Teacher and Mentor, Rael Isacowitz, founder of BASI Pilates, and avid supporter of Women Teachers throughout his life and career, welcomed this initiative with open arms. Rael
often talks of the role his teacher Kathy Grant played in his life, and the importance of Women Teachers in BASI. He will be sending his welcome address through Live Video.
