History of Pilates
Where the method comes from.
Joseph Pilates, Contrology, and what survived to today.
Joseph Pilates called the method Contrology: the control of the body, the mind and the breath.
He built the apparatus himself — reformer, cadillac, chair, barrel — so the exercise could adapt to the person.
We teach that repertoire as it was built, informed by what is now understood about how bodies move.
