About Sonje Mayo

Sonje was introduced to Joseph Pilates and his method of “Contrology” as a young professional dancer in New York City in 1965. As a physical therapist, she realized this method was a means to make her a better, stronger dancer. This proved to be correct and Sonje is eternally grateful to Joe for that gift. Sonje’s dream was to create the first contemporary dance company in South Africa. On her return to SA, Sonje found that “Contrology” was the most accessible method to train the wealth of raw black talent.

In 1976, Sonje formed the first multi-racial dance company at the height of the ‘Apartheid’ era. Her only regret is that she never had the opportunity to tell Joe that how effectively she managed to mold dancers using the Pilates Mat method. Sonje is a Pilates Master Instructor based in Nashville, Tennessee. She fervently believes the following: “I received the best foundation from Joe Pilates and Martha Graham, but I am still learning every day.”
