Reformer on the mat – Phoebe Higgins

Phoebe Higgins, PMA Gold certified, is a distinguished expert in dance and Pilates with decades of experience. She trained at the school of American Ballet, studied the Simonson Technique of Jazz Dance, and collaborated with the Kevon Wynn Collection. From 1967 to 1968, she took ballet classes with Romana Kryzanowska, a renowned Pilates Instructor. In 1976, Phoebe reconnected with Romana at SUNY Purchase and began studying
the Pilates Method to strengthen her scoliosis-affected spine. She joined Romana’s studio in 1080, working there until its closure in 1989. In 1998 and 2005, Phoebe designed programs for
pre-professional students at the School of American Ballet and Ballet Academy East. Since 2006, she has worked independently, offering private sessions and leading workshops. Following the passing of her close colleague Bob Liekens, she joined The Pilates Standard. Phoebe is deeply committed to promoting the Pilates Method globally, helping people achieve freedom of movement and an enhanced quality of life through mindful practice.
