Pilates : alliance of mind  and body

 

Founded in the late 19th century / early 20th century by Joseph Pilates,

​

the Pilates method aims at strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles, the body's energy center.

​

Pilates, originally called "contrology", relies on mind awareness and control of the body

​

to improve body awareness and develop strength with harmony.

.

 

« In my opinion, contrology is an ideal system to transform the body

into a perfect instrument of the mind. »

Joseph Pilates

relaxation and muscular strength.

« Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects bad postures, restores physical vitality,

 invigorates the mind and elevates the soul. »
