More quotes by Joseph Pilates
By all means never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can.
Joseph Pilates
Lazy breathing converts the lungs, literally and figuratively speaking, into a cemetery for the deposition of diseased, dying and dead germs as well as supplying an ideal haven for the multiplication of other harmful germs.
Joseph Pilates
Moreover, such a body freed from nervous tension and over-fatigue is the ideal shelter provided by nature for housing a well-balanced mind that is always fully capable of successfully meeting all of the complex problems of modern living.
Joseph Pilates
When all your muscles are properly developed, you will, as a matter of course, perform your work with minimum effort and maximum pleasure.
Joseph Pilates
This is the equivalent of an “internal shower”. As the spring freshness born of the heavy rains and vast masses of melting snows on mountains in the hinterlands cause rivers to swell and rush turbulently onward to the sea, so too will your blood flow with renewed vigor as the direct result of your faithfully performing the Contrology exercises.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play, and in the way you work.
Joseph Pilates
A man is as young as his spinal column.
Joseph Pilates
Time and progress are synonymous terms--nothing can stop either. Truth will prevail and that is why I know that my teachings will reach the masses and finally be adopted as universal.
Joseph Pilates
Man should develop his physical condition simultaneously with that of his mind.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology (Pilates) is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Through Contrology you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities.
Joseph Pilates
It is the mind itself which builds the body.
Joseph Pilates
A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.
Joseph Pilates
The man who uses intelligence with respect to his diet, his sleeping habits and who exercises properly, is beyond any question of doubt taking the very best preventive medicines provided so freely and abundantly by nature
Joseph Pilates
Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty not only to attain it but to maintain it.
Joseph Pilates
Normal muscles should function naturally in much the same manner as do the muscles of animals.
Joseph Pilates
Man should bear in mind and ponder over the Greek admonition - Not Too Much, Not Too Little.
Joseph Pilates
You're only as old as your spine.
Joseph Pilates
Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit.
Joseph Pilates
Breathing is the first act of life, and the last.
Joseph Pilates
