I like to share my work, experience and Pilates discoveries in word, pictures and videos. There are so many Pilates instructors out there sharing their work that I appreciate your checking in for updates on my various channels!

Instagram

On my instagram feed each month, I post several photos and short videos of myself or one of my clients doing traditional Contrology and contemporary Pilates. I also like to share my own “Gold Variations & Specials,” as well as celebrating my students’ victories. I also announce my podcast guests, upcoming workshops and special events. Thank you for taking the time to follow me and may we enjoy our journey together!

With little interruption, my Podcast guests share their experience and knowledge of Contrology and topics surrounding Joe’s brilliant system. Past guests have included apparatus manufactures, authors, photographers, First Generation instructors to name a few. Listeners learn how Joseph Pilates’ teachings have influenced and inspired those carrying on his healing method. Since Pilates is now a global phenomenon, it has profoundly changed both the wellness and fitness landscapes and my podcast, ALL THINGS PILATES, in 2024 in season 6, offers just the right mix of information, education and fun. → my Podcast Instagram account

Apps / DVDs / Audio

Studio Darien Pilates apps had a very long run on the Apple App Store beginning in 2010 and was the first classical Pilates app ever produced. In 2017, both apps were resigned and were also added to the Google Play store. In 2022, both stores once again asked developers to update their apps and this where the road ended for mine.

However, DVD’s are still available as Collector's editions:

• “The Original Pilates Advanced Mat Repertoire“ DVD, 100 USD
• “The Original Pilates Intermediate Mat Repertoire“ DVD, 75 USD - SOLD OUT
• “The First Seven“ ™ (The Original Basic Mat Repertoire) DVD, 75 USD
  

• All including extras such as an interview with Trish Garland, Short Box and Rowing Series on the Mat, Advanced Class Endings on Cadillac and Guillotine
• With a personal note from Darien
• Price incl. shipping and postage
  
  

Note:
Darien encourages all who purchase her DVDs that they sign up for her ongoing mat classes to learn more about the Pilates techniques .

Audio Instructions / Original Mat Repetoires

Darien’s mat audio enables you to focus solely on yourself. Instructions are clear and concise making this non-stop Intermediate and Advanced mat routine a valuable addition to your other audio workouts.

YouTube

Currently, my YouTube Channel displays mostly single exercises on the mat and the various apparatus. You’ll see me demonstrating exercises from basic to advanced, even some super advanced exercises. However, with this new website design and the creativity it has inspired in me, I’d like to present a completely different approach. In the coming weeks, I’ll be showing portions of lessons with my students so you the viewer can watch how I work with a “body,” and if you’re a teacher, what cueing skills for example, may be of use for you.
