The Pilates, Joseph, H. Workshop

The purpose of this 3-hour seminar is to present the ideas and philosophies of Joseph Hubertes Pilates (1880-1967), and to perform "Contrology" exercises exactly as put forth is the book "Return to Life Through Contrology".

Since 1991 when the trademark was lifted from the Pilates exercise method, many participants became aware of and began to perform Pilates exercise movements. With this great influx of participants came with it a great influx of Pilates instructors, trainers, books, videos and certifications to teach Pilates' exercises.

Inevitably, changes were made to Pilates' exercises. These changes were made for various reasons, mostly for the purposes of safety as more information and studies became available regarding contraindicated exercises and anatomy.

This class however, is about the bare bones of the Pilates exercise method. That said the exercises in the workshop will be known as Contrology and not Pilates, because that is ultimately what the class is about.

In this period of instruction, we will explore the mindset of Joseph Pilates, using the two books he wrote "Your Health", a series of essays, and "Return to Life Through Controlgy" which contains 34 of the original Contrology exercise movements.
