Since the early 1990's, even as the Pilates field has expanded and grown, our ability to reach back into our collective history has been stymied by Sean Gallagher and Richtone. Joe Pilates was far ahead of his time, and there is still much to discover about his method and insights. This is why it is so important that our community retain access to historical documents. Moreover, as Pilates practitioners, we must preserve our right to refer to the founder of the Pilates Method, not just in words, but in images.
We need your help! Come together to help affirm in a court of law that Sean Gallagher and Richtone have no rightful claim to own the visual materials depicting Joe and/or Clara Pilates and/or reference Pilates exercises.
We have a unique moment right now to defend our history. In 2000, our community united to defend the word Pilates for all of us to use- and we won! Help us finish this fight!
