The Pilates Method – Contrology (The Art of Control)

In short, Pilates is a system of exercises that combine flexibility, strength and control. The entire method is based on the 6 principles: Concentration, Control, Centering, Flow, Precision and Breathing.

Joseph Pilates was able to bring together his deep understanding of the body and the knowledge about how to overcome his own weaknesses and strengthen the body. His system of exercising, which he used to call the Art of Control, has shown results over the past 100 years; he proved to be a true visionary with a Zeitgeist that has stood the test of time.

The Pilates method is based on the power of resistance through work with springs and opposition. This enables the body to build lean and light muscles compared to working with weights. Implemented by a pure Pilates trainer, the method is efficient in transforming any type of body in a short amount of time.

Who can benefit from Pilates?

Pilates is for everybody and can be adapted to all fitness levels. It is ideal as a routine if you want to stay fit and feel energized and dynamic throughout all life stages. A regular practice of Pilates can help you to relieve stress and establish a balance between mind and body. It is known to build a strong core and good posture, which helps prevent back, shoulder pain and other physical imbalances. The practice of Pilates has helped many athletes to fine tune their performance and prevent or recover from injury.

The pure Pilates method vs. mainstream Pilates

Compared to the mainstream Pilates offered nowadays in the majority of gyms and fitness schools in Europe, the pure Pilates method uses equipment and is tailored-made to the individual needs. To be safe and effective, Pilates should be only be practiced in combination with a certified Pilates Trainer, who knows the method inside out, and is able to choose the right exercises and apply them in a way to guarantee the best result for clients.

Romana’s Pilates – close to the roots

Romana’s Pilates is the company formed by Romana and Sari who both trained closely with Joseph and Clara Pilates for decades, to continue Pilates’ work – you can’t get much closer to the roots of Pilates than that!

Everyone studying Pilates today can trace their roots back to Romana in one way or another. As a matter of fact, either their teacher, or their teacher’s teacher or their teacher’s teachers’ teacher was trained with or by Romana. The closer this connection is to the roots, the closer the work is to the way it was intended to be by Joseph Pilates himself.
