Contrology Pilates Method evolved out of many years of ‘getting to the roots’ of the Pilates Legacy, of realising the ‘Bodylines ©’(our myofascia), known to many by Thomas Myers Anatomy Trains www.anatomytrains.com and developing a neuromuscular interconnection to access and commincate to the myofascial web; thus realising and working with the body as a structure of tensegrity ( tensional integrity)
Contrology is a work of reconnection. A reconnection of the original blueprint, our natural and ‘given’ potential. A physical body created and adapt to move in natural balanced harmony, coordinated by the subconscious mind with spirit. A reconnection to your self.
Contrology Pilates Method endeavours to inspire all those who pass us by, to guide and to teach, to bring about a full understanding and a whole experience and revelation of the work.
It is our intent to facilitate and guide the physical and mental transformation that is the legacy of this work.
All are stunned by its genius, how it simply ‘works’ every time and how quickly you can quite literally ‘Return to Life’ on all levels.
Contrology Pilates Method is organically growing, more and more graduates from The Training School are now teaching, passing on the legacy that is the work, spreading the message of whole body health and getting the fast and stunning results it promises. More and more students of Pilates are arriving at the Contrology Pilates Method to learn; no more the adapted dilutions and limiting ‘exercises’ for seperate body parts so totally contrary to Pilates’s vision and his innate understanding of the whole body, but fully integrated natural movements for all of Life.
How it evolved: On reading Joseph Pilates’ book ‘ Return to Life’ many, many times, as it is one of those books! I couldn’t understand what I was seeing being taught in the name of Pilates, it quite simply didn’t add up. Thus began my long quest to experience and understand the intent of his words.
With 5 first generation ‘Pilates Elders’ still teaching, who themselves had studied with Joe, I went to hear and where possible study with them to get first hand information of what Joe had been teaching.. It was pure genius and so far removed from the ‘Chinese whispered’ interpretations I had learnt around the globe. So inspired by Joes intent, I spent many years looking behind each word he wrote and studying each teaching instruction he gave in order to experience it fully, understand it and let it become me; only then could I take on the genius and simplicity of his teachings and of his vision of the ‘uniformly developed’ mind and body and spirit for ‘whole body health‘, our fullest potential and ‘wellbeing’. Bursting with an inspired enthusiasm, I went about teaching my already steady following of Pilates Teachers, Pilates Students and Clients, passing on this great wisdom, true to its original form and intent.. Contrology Pilates Method was born.
