Description
In 1926, Joseph Pilates opened his first studio in New York City. One hundred years later, his mind-body method is practised around the world, helping people move with greater strength, control and confidence.
The original Contrology mat work consists of 34 exercises performed in one continuous, flowing sequence. Designed to develop complete coordination of mind, body and spirit, the routine emphasises breath, precision, spinal articulation and whole-body movement.
Many of these exercises form the foundation of today's Pilates classes, but they are often modified or taught in isolation. This workshop offers the opportunity to explore the classical repertoire in greater depth, experience some of the less commonly taught exercises, and discover how each movement connects to the next.
Together, we will work towards performing the complete mat sequence in it's original order - challenging ourselves, embracing the process and enjoying the flow of the method.
Whether you are curious about Pilates' roots or looking to deepen your own practice, this is a chance to play, explore, and experience the original method as it enters its second century.
