First published in 1945, Pilates Return to Life Through Contrology
contains the authorised, legal, edited, and original Library of
Congress version of Joseph H. Pilates and William J. Millers first
complete fitness writings. It details the exercises, poses, and
instructions fundamental to the matwork developed by Joseph and
Clara Pilates. Based on his concepts of a balanced body and mind,
and drawn from the approach espoused by the early Greeks, these are
the exercises that continue to sustain a world-wide revolution in
fitness strategies and exercise techniques. Joseph Pilates has been
nothing short of revolutionary in his impact on the world of
fitness and exercise. Readers will learn and view the original 34
exercises that Pilates taught to his students, many of whom have
become exercise gurus in their own right. These carefully designed
exercises constitute the results of decades of scientific study and
research into the variety of physical ills that upset the balance
of body and mind. Practitioners of Pilates forms and exercises in
the 21st century continue to expand upon this earlier work by
presenting a variety of creative new approaches involving circular
movements, standing postures, and core strengthening exercises
using props such as tubes, weights, poles, bands, magic circles,
mini-balls, stability balls, foam rollers, and more. Now included
in this Revised Edition are 18 additional pages of explanations of
what has transpired since the original 1945 work, along with
several photo/text sequences of the latest 21st-century
enhancements in the Pilates world. There are new descriptive pages
of text that first describe the fitness principles evolved from
Pilates original Contrology work. This is followed by detailed text
describing 21st-century evolutionary developments that present the
key dancers, choreographers, and leaders in the Pilates Studio and
certifying organisations through the present. This section ends
with a discussion of evolutionary props and apparatus developments,
plus 21st-century sample exercises drawn from the larger book,
"Pilates Evolution for the 21st Century". Following this section
are three complete prop-based demonstration exercises that include
both photographic sequences (four per exercise) and step-by-step
instructions for 21st-century Pilates exercises using the magic
circle, elastic resistance, and the small fitness mini-ball.
