May I offer my personal experience of what Contrology (Authentic Pilates) give me last year.
Reflecting on the year that was 2020 and how I managed the restrictions and limitations brought upon us all, essentially to keep us healthy and strong in a pandemic.
Simply put, I increased my Pilates practice. I became more centred, stronger, more open in my body and mind, whist observing so many people who were contracting under the pressure, the changes, the fear of lost security.
My Pilates was a handrail that kept me steady, a mindful, focused practice that drew me deeper into myself whilst remaining ever present and in relationship to the environment I was living in. I watched myself deepen into this practice and allowed it to change my body and my mind to a stronger and more centred place. Doing the method 5 times per week showed me how this practice of Pilates is meant to reconnect you in a powerful strong body, with a clear sharp mind, developing an ease and grace that allows joy to flow.
