Contrology
A method of exercise that emphasizes precise movements, core strength and flexibility originally called CONTROLOGY known commonly as pilates. Practiced world-wide pilates uses a combination of receptive exercises focusing on breath, spinal alignment, powerhouse activation and pelvic mobility. The wide range of exercises can be modified to fit multiple fitness levels allowing participants to build strength and flexibility. Joseph Pilates wanted to restore physical vitality, invigorate the mind, and elevate the spirit. I took my first class in 2024 and was simply hooked and decided to expand my practice to become an instructor.
The wunda chair is a versatile apparatus that can used in various positions to challenge balance, upper/lower body and core. Designed to work with all fitness levels using a spring-loaded platform. In my opinion, it can also be one of the most challenging of the apparatus especially when working into level 3 or 4 exercises. When it comes to pilates, I try to always remind clients to simply workout with the body that they showed up with today because not every day is going to be the same.
During my journey of becoming a comprehensively trained pilates instructor I learned about multiple apparatus. Allowing me the opportunity to teach others about mat, reformer, trapeze, barrel, tower, and spring-wall. Each apparatus shares similar benefits but allows the participant to be challenged in new ways. The most commonly used apparatus being the reformer which allows for a wide range of exercise variations for multiple levels. No matter which type of contrology you decide to use you will gain core strength and flexibility.
