Pilates Energy

I love the way Pilates moves energy through my body. You may know that feeling when you've done the hundred exceptionally well and you feel the rush of heat  move through your body, cleansing your blood cells and restoring balance. Even the gentler, more restorative exercises move energy. The feeling of the top of your large leg bone, the femur head, moving freely in the hip joint as if moving through water, or the feeling of a perfect swan lengthening the upper spine. No wonder Joseph Pilates believed everyone should practice Contrology so that we are "capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure." - Joseph H, Pilates, Return to Life Through Contrology
