Description
Return to Life Through Contrology by Joseph H Pilates and William J Miller In 1945, Joseph H. Pilates and William J. Miller published a concise exercise book that would lay the foundations for the modern practice of Pilates. This short guide demonstrates a series of movements at the core of what we now call Pilates, a practice that focuses on bodyweight and mat exercises. Born with asthma and rheumatic fever, Joseph Pilates was introduced to gymnastics, body-building, and martial arts at a young age. During World War I, he was interned in England and used the time to develop his practice of Contrology, a method that emphasizes controlled movements and breathing. The book outlines the principles and exercises that Pilates developed during this period, using no equipment other than his own body weight. This book provides a unique insight into the origins of Pilates and the development of Contrology, a practice that has become popular worldwide for its focus on physical health and bodily well-being.
