The Pilates Path to Health: Body, Mind, and Spirit

by Gary Calderone

Gary Calderone personally recognizes the healing gift of Pilates. Pilates changes lives. This echoed true then, and echoes true today. Pilates literally brought Gary back from the brink of disease. His life became unified and whole once again. Healing is an inside job. It is maintenance - the Contrology - of self. Most of us are not given an owner s We bungle toward balance and health. We rush. We eat and drink too much, too little. We work more and play less. We live outside of our natural selves; holding up, putting off, or just getting through until we can feel or fix it later; until we can turn a corner and discover the truth - health is the natural state of the body. Balance is within our grasp. That s the gift of this a contemporary voice of who, what, and how we find that balance. The Pilates Path to Health emerged from the concepts of the foundational work of Joseph Pilates Contrology. Finally, a contemporary voice in the Pilates community - speaks for the collective that recognizes Pilates as more than an exercise regimen - that lends distinction for teachers with a greater mission to evolve practitioner, student, and client to their next level of health. Because Contrology is evolving in a global community where people are seeking balance in all categories of their lives, this book is timely, acting as a marker of how Pilates is adapting and serving a 21st century world.
