The Mary Bowen Historical Film, Joseph H. Pilates, Demonstrating the Principals of His Method with Clara, Students, and Friends (1932-1945)
Compiled and edited by Mary Bowen, this video, outstanding in letting us know Joe and Clara, is made up of films taken of Joe and Clara themselves and clients between the years 1932-1945. Reels and reels of these vintage films were given to Mary Bowen at the opening of her larger studio YOUR OWN GYM in 1981 in Northampton, MA. Ten years later Mary studied all the reels of footage choosing out the best examples for compiling this Historical Pilates DVD on Joe, Clara, clients and friends, 1932-45. During this time period, Joe was in his prime, 49-62.
