More quotes by Joseph Pilates
Never slouch as doing so compresses the lungs, overcrowds other vital organs, rounds the back, and throws you off balance.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.
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
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
Man should bear in mind and ponder over the Greek admonition - Not Too Much, Not Too Little.
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
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

Joseph Pilates
The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning is gaining the mastery of your mind over the complete control of your body.
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
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
By all means never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can.
Joseph Pilates
Because of poor posture, practically 95% of our population suffers from varying degrees of spinal curvature, not to mention more serious ailments. Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control.
Joseph Pilates
Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty not only to attain it but to maintain it.
