about pilates
Joseph Pilates original work, which he called Contrology, was created in the mid 20th century and it has endured and grown in popularity due the many benefits it provides.
“Contrology is the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit. Through Contrology, you first purposefully acquire complete control of your body and then, through proper repetition of its exercises, you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities.” - Joseph Hubertus Pilates
Pilates is noted for its ability to enhance movement, biomechanics and muscular strength without wasting mental or physical energy, as well as enhancing the body, mind, spirit connection.
