Reviews

Reviews -- Reviews of the two books contained within this new, revolutionary and evolutionary volume of Pilates work, writings, and trainings:
Joseph Pilates called his work "Contrology." He defined Contrology as "the comprehensive integration of body mind and spirit." This philosophy is beautifully elucidated in his book, Return to Life Through Contrology.
