Interview with Vero Ponieman

After a year and a half living in Caracas, he led her to design classes for gyms, synthesising all his knowledge as a physical therapist, dancer and Pilates instructor. So it was that developed kinds of rhythms, stretching and postural gymnastics.

In 2002 he first connected with Radical Fitness and was dazzled by the thrust of the company. It was then that he met the teacher Michael King to offer certification in Pilates Mat Work, very new at the time. “I loved being part of that move!” He recalls. Veronica until today represents the school of Michael in Latin America. OXYGEN arises at the same time, a program created by Radical Fitness with your collaboration and Micheal King.

How would you describe OXYGEN?

It is a program that connects mind and body working movement, flexibility, connection, balance, fluidity, strength. Combia different techniques such as Pilates, Yoga and Tai-Chi. The base is breath and work with the concentration.

Many think that these practices are relaxed and do not require great physical work … do you say to that?

OXYGEN was changed over the years. Before dance had many components. Today we adapt to make it a full program with great body awareness, strong physical demand and moments of relaxation. There are tracks for warmth, then we focus on the strength of legs -more related to Fitness-, then we have some tracks equilibrium positions of yoga, tai-chi and pilates; then we make a transition from organic stand to what is physical contact with the tracks and then the soil where we focus on the abdomen and elongation (static and dynamic).

Music as you select?

The directors chose, always in consultation with managers of Radical Fitness and then it goes to the production company, which has an independent production, remixing, editing. It is a super intense laburo!
