Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises.....



Transform your body, become as supple as and move with the grace of a tiger


 "Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles. ... Nor does Pilates [Contrology] err either by over-developed a few muscles at the expense of all others with resulting loss of grace and suppleness, or a a sacrifice of the heart or lungs.

  Rather, it was conceived to limber and stretch muscles and ligaments so that your body will be as supple as that of a cat and not muscular like that of the body of a brewery-truck horse, or the muscle-bound body of the professional weight lifter you so much admire at the circus"


Transform your mind, breathe deeply, relax deeply, visualise - let your brain create!

Pilates will free your body from  nervous tension and over-fatigue - your body will become the ideal shelter provided by nature for housing a well-balanced mind.

Pilates will free your mind, breathe deeply, relax, utilise our visualisation techniques and tap into the brain, the science that offers a well balanced mind that is fully capable of successfully meeting all the complex problems of modern living

It all starts with nutrition you just cannot train your body or ‘run’ out of bad or poor eating habits. From my personal perspective it’s about the nutrient quality of the foods – keeping our ‘guts’ healthy to keep our immune system healthy, that in turn provides us with the physical and psychological energy that motivates us to move, be more active, cope with stress, be social interactive and enjoy life’s little and big adventures   As well as eating n...

We survived !!!!

TOTAL CORE & BARRE COURSE Well we did it; we survived the two most intense days. It was fun but it was tough and I have seen my wonderful colleague in a very different light!!! He truly became ballet master extraordinaire, but the hard work paid off, by the end of the course this evening we could all run through the program from start to finish with quite convincing technique. We promised no nonsense tough Pilates and Barre program, no props, no gimmicks, we would only utilize our bodies the floor and the barre and I think we delivered what it said on the tin... I would like to thank you guys as a group for the fantastic participation and feedback it was, as always a pleasure  working with you.
