Intentare explicarte el significado:
La 'S' de pilates con los dos puntos forman dos figuras en movimiento y en oposicion cabeza arriba - abajo).
La 'S' simboliza la curvatura exagerada de la columna vertebral (patologia cifosis e lordosis). Para evitar la deformacion y lograr el alineamiento, se necesitan dos puntos de tension y en oposicion que deben aun rotar (como lo representa tu logo).
Los colores blanco y negro simbolizan el equilibrio (entre corpo- mente y espiritu) y el rojo la energia que nace de la powerhouse.
I will try to explain the meaning: The ' S' of pilates with both points forms two figures in movement and in opposition head it arrives down -). The ' S' symbolizes the exaggerated curvature of the spine (patologia cifosis and lordosis). In order to avoid the deformation and to obtain the alignment, two points are needed tension and in opposition that must even rotate (as it represents your logo). The colors black and white symbolize the balance (between body, mind and spirit) and red energia that is born of powerhouse.

"be sure NEVER TO REPEAT THE SELECTED EXERCISE(S) MORE THAN THE PRESCRIBED NUMBER OF TIMES since more harm will result than good by your unwittingly or intentionally disregarding this most important advice and direction. Why? Because this infraction creates muscular fatigue--poison. There is really no need for tired muscles." Return to Life Through Contrology
This has to be one of the major faults of pilates mat presentation today. Aerobics instructors doing reps as endurance tests, building poison because they don't know any better.
I'm not sure where this came from.
I remember doing it back in the early eighties
at the City Rec center's Full Mat
class. We worked hard in those days
to refine the flow of the mat work.
For photos of the head stand transition from Crab to Rocking, for subscribers, can be seen here.
The most advanced way of doing something is usually the hardest, and yet the simplest. As we have already examined, staying in the median plane going from standing to footwork or 100s, is reversed when you transition from control balance to standing.
