Joseph Pilates taught a small but diverse group of people which he groomed to become original Pilates instructors, known as the “Elders.” It is believed that only two Pilates practitioners were ever officially certified by Joseph (1)! Of these two certified Elders, Lolita San Miguel, from Puerto Rico and Kathy Grant, an African American, Kathy and Lolita were awarded a Pilates Degree from Mr. Pilates under the auspices of the 2,000+ hour vocational program through the State University of New York.
