KARIN LOCHER
Karin Locher is the founder and director of Contrology Pilates Method: A Comprehensive Teacher Training School, Professional Development Centre and The Contrology Studio, which attracts clients, students and teachers to learn from the great wisdom of the body, from the genius of the Pilates legacy and from the phenomenal potential of the fascial organism.
Certified through Pilates International and the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA), Karin claims to have only acquired her true Pilates education whilst studying individually with the First Generation Pilates Elders, she continues to work with them today.
A teacher and lecturer for 12 years, Karin has dedicated her work to the original, now somewhat historical, teachings of Joseph and Clara Pilates and the profound life changing potential behind their Method, Contrology.
In 2008, from her Study of Contrology and the revolutionising work of Thomas Myers, Karin developed Contrology and the Bodylines™; a pioneering neuro-muscular application, found from the origins of the Pilates Method which influences to re-store and create change to the body’s myo-fascia. This sense felt fascia consciousness offers a fascial language, an application to re-connect you to the vast implications of your functionality and health, through movement, awareness and in life.
Karin demonstrates the stunning relationship between the original Pilates instruction and its ‘spring’ intent with the newly discovered fascial research that is now sweeping across the world. She offers us an ever broader vision and deeper insight into the Pilates genius and the phenomenal potential within the fascial organism.
Today Karin ‘s personal work has evolved into 'Structural Reconnection', a term she uses for the re-tuning of the fascial organism through touch, the Reconnection® and the re-patterning of our movement brain. She continues to mentor the students and teachers at The Contrology Pilates Method Training School and teaches workshops for Professional Development, taking her work around the world.
An associate teacher for Anatomy Trains, Kenisis, Karin teaches the work of Thomas Myers , Anatomy Trains for movement practitioners.
Karin dedicates her time to those inspired to unravel the human potential and learn from the great wisdom of the body.
