Who is she?
Pilates / Dancer / Choreographer / Teacher!
In the
spring of 2007, Susan was honored and asked to join the faculty of The Ron
Fletcher Program of Study (TRFPOS); an Arizona corporation and licensed
school. Her studio, The Core Center, is the ONLY facility on the east
coast of the United States to offer this Pilates teaching certification.
Susan will be teaching and disseminating "the Ron Fletcher work" ™, along
with visiting qualified teachers from around the world.
Recognizing a need to expand and disseminate the teachings of Joe Pilates
and Ron Fletcher further, and still maintain the standards and high
qualities already established, TRFPOS saw in Susan Fox an opportunity and
means to accomplish their goal and expand the school beyond the boundaries
of Tucson Arizona. The school syllabus and teaching certificates will
continue to come from and be granted by The Ron Fletcher Program of Study
and continue to be taught by highly qualified teachers.
On May 25th, 2006, Susan was presented her Level
II certification in "the Ron
Fletcher work" ™. from Ron Fletcher, and
TRFPOS Directors Pat Guyton and Kyria Sabin. The Level II certification required, monthly
commutes to Arizona (away from family and business for many long weekends),
two 10 day intensives, and 2000+ hours of intense physical training, written & oral examinations,
and a 15 minute choreographed performance piece with 2 other highly educated
TRFPOS teachers (Bryala & Mary Pinzone). This videotaped
performance piece is on file with TRFPOS. Susan is both proud and honored to receive
this ULTIMATE
certification!
On June 27th, 2004, Susan was presented her
Level I certification in "the Ron
Fletcher work" ™. at
Body Works Studio in Tucson
Arizona from Master Teacher Pat Guyton and Senior Teacher Kyria Sabin in the
presence of Ron Fletcher - what a way to cap a
fantastic 10 day intensive!
During the beginning of her studies with TRFPOS, in October of 2003,
Susan earned her 1st certification from TRFPOS. This
certificate gave her a limited license to teach "The Ron
Fletcher Towel Work" ™. This certification was
qualified by physical training and passing both written & oral examinations.

Body Rolling:
To compliment my Pilates and Dance training, I am currently half way through
my Yamuna Body Rolling (YBR) training at Yamuna
Studio in NYC. Yamuna Zake, the director of
Yamuna Studios
and creator of
Yamuna Body Logic (YBL)
and YBR is an innovator, body therapist and renowned teacher of the unique
concepts that she developed to help you realize your maximum natural
potential, freeing restrictions, easing pain and improving performance. “If
everyone knew how to care for their body, they could prevent many of the
structural problems that age us before our time” explains Yamuna Zake.
“Taking care of your body should be easy, and knowledge of how to do it
should be widely available.” As her clients and students have discovered,
when you have the knowledge and tools to keep your body pain-free and
flexible throughout life, you don’t experience the stiffness and
restrictions associated with aging.
