It is very empowering...

"I believe in your stance that Pilates is now an Idea.  Once, it was one particular man's passion for movement and control.  Now, Pilates is everyone's interpretation of that man's work.  It drives me crazy that people will create exercises and call it Pilates when it has nothing to do with Contrology or Joe, except for the fact that they are exploiting the equipment he designed.

What I like about your approach is that you've dug up as much history as possible to understand how Joe thought and worked.  Then you added some scientific terminology to explain the work.  It is very empowering to look at Pilates through "The Idea."  It really does make sense.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.  I look forward to doing more work with you.

In a sea of exercises, the Idea is your lifesaver.

An honest movement is the one that pursues complete contrology.
