"The acquirement and enjoyment of physical well-being, mental calm and spiritual peace are priceless to their possessors if there be any such so fortunate living among us today. However, it is the ideal to strive for, and in our opinion, it is only through Contrology
that this unique trinity of a balanced body, mind, and spirit can ever be
attained." Joseph Pilates(1945)

Gary Calderone is one of the most passionate practitioners in
the industry who brings a deep heart felt love for Joseph Pilates work. He
adds to that an investigatory spirit, linking principles and ideals to
modern day leaders in the field of Body- Mind-Spirit. Likewise Gary's
writing and lecture style is exciting and touching.

With the explosive growth of Pilates, we are in danger of
losing the soul of Joseph Pilates’ vision. Gary Calderone’s work carries a
message whose time has come. He dives us deep into the heart of Joe’s work,
placing it at dead center in the resurgence of mind/body perspective…and
shines a bright and clear light on the transformational pathway that it
provides for realizing our fullest potential, physically, emotionally and
spiritually. Wendy Leblanc-Arbuckle Director,
Pilates Center of Austin |

I appreciate what Gary is doing for the Pilates community
putting together Joseph Pilates’ vision in a cohesive and enlightened
manner— what we intuit as teachers and as spiritual beings—in order for us
to understand Pilates’ intentions better. In this way we can intelligently
express it to the world. Gary, what in honor to be inspired by you!

It is too easy, and incorrect, for Pilates to be lumped into
traditional exercise methods. Gary Calderone is leading the field in
delineating the true essence of Pilates as both a science and a lifestyle.

Soon! Gary's New Book!
"the pilates path to health: body, mind and spirit"
Awareness is essential to well-being. Balance is the key to
health. Pilates provides its practitioner with both awareness and balance
through the healthy well-being of body, mind and spirit. The practice of
this form of exercise allows the practitioner an opportunity to shift the
body's performance; shift how and what one thinks; and shift one's presence
with self and others to a greater expression and focus from a place of
spirit first. This shift is intended for its user to notice a space where
possibility resides.
This space is the result of Joseph Pilates body-mind
approach to self-mastery in one’s physical and mental conditioning. Embedded
in his method are the inclusion of his interest in both Eastern and Western
thought. The greatness and genius behind his system of health, called
Contrology, is just now beginning to recognize the unspoken benefits
and attributes experienced by millions doing Pilates.
Discover a fuller definition of how Pilates aligns the
misaligned by celebrating the consistent recovery, renewal, vitality and
passion through the Pilates path of health. To perform the physical
movements of Pilates requires emergence into what is known in the Pilates
realm as oppositional energy-counter intuitive to what you think is normal,
natural movement. And in so doing, allows you to shift your pattern in how
you think and move in the world.

Treated to a preview of Gary Calderone's’ new book, "the
pilates path to health: body, mind and spirit" I find myself
looking forward to its publication, and delighted that Calderone has brought
forth some of the deeper concepts of Joseph Pilates work in a way that
enhances their relevance for today’s practitioners. From form to energy,
awareness, and interconnectedness,
Gary Calderone works his way inside Pilates as an
integrative, and even healing, practice; articulating what makes it so
meaningful for many of us who have found our way beyond Pilates as “just
exercise”.

I read your sample chapter with great interest and think that
the approach of this book is unique and greatly needed. I very much enjoyed
your evening talks at the Polestar conference in Miami a few years ago.
