Contrology, the original name given to the Pilates method by Joseph Pilates, is a transformative practice that emphasizes the connection between mind and body.

​

As described by Joe himself; Contrology is conscious control of all muscular movement of the body. It is the correct utilization and application of the leverage principles afforded by the bones comprising the skeletal framework of the body. It is a complete knowledge of the mechanism of the body and a full understanding of the principles of equilibrium and gravity as applied to the movements of the body in motion, at rest and in sleep,

​

In Contrology, each movement is performed with a focus on control, flow, and breath, creating a holistic practice that transcends mere exercise. Rather than adhering to a rigid structure, it invites practitioners to tune into their bodies, fostering greater self-awareness and promoting consistent progress towards their personal fitness goals.
