The Pilates Principle & Gyrotonic exercise

#Repost @kurtgorrell with @make_repost Happy Birthday to Joseph Pilates!! He would have been 137 years old today. A man who was ahead of his time, incorporating breath and controlled dynamic movement to strengthen and mobilize the body. He believed that you are only as old as your spine is supple, and that strength and movement should initiate from the trunk. Basically combining spinal mobility and spinal stability.... Pilates, originally called Contrology, is a great exercise and rehab modality that can be used on its own or as a supplement to any workout. And remember, Pilates is NOT just stretching!

What else can we do, right? Just find a way. Words from my @gettoworkbook

Seems like an elf arrived at the studio! Got any name ideas? My son votes for JJ since the creator of Pilates is Joe, and the creator is Gyrotonic is Juliu. But I’m just torn. JJ doesn’t sound...elfy enough?
