Where Did Pilates Come From? The Story of Joseph Pilates
Joseph Pilates developed his method of "Contrology" back in the 1920s. He viewed fitness in a distinctly holistic way, focusing on the entire body working synergistically. He created a series of exercises to strengthen not only the physical body, but also the mind and spirit. This integrated approach to health and movement demonstrated he was way ahead of his time.Contrology's core philosophy centered on core stability, breath control, and precision. Pilates believed that a strong, balanced body required mental concentration to execute movements correctly. The system aimed to unify the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects for complete well-being. The enduring popularity of his method today is a testament to his visionary work and its timeless effectiveness.
The Pilates Method, as it is now known, is a full body workout that strengthens from the inside out. By working through a unique series of exercises in accordance with the Pilates Principles, you will be physically and mentally challenged. You will discover your “core” (deep abdominals, pelvic floor, diaphragm and back) and develop greater body awareness. The focus is on correct technique, not excessive repetition, which will significantly improve your posture, balance, flexibility and strength. You will achieve your optimal health as you create a sense of harmony between mind and the body.
