    "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)

    About the Author:


    Prior to Gary’s Pilates experience, he was immersed in Wholistic Health Sciences, lecturing in three countries, setting the stage for this book to be written.

    Gary CalderoneRecognizing then, that all disease stems from any one or a combination of stress factors debilitating the body, mind and spirit—the whole of who we are—influenced his choice to become a Pilate’s teacher. Emerging as a dancer in the late 1970’s and sustaining multiple injuries, it was only a matter of connecting the dots in his Pilates experience that healing was known.  

    As a second generation Pilates teacher, Gary is dedicated to exploring Pilates as it relates to the experience of healing, human potential, and heightened consciousness inherent in a return to life, its intended outcome according to the words of its founder Joseph Pilates.  

    Inspired by falling and rising from the grip of disease, life experience, his own training and the experience of training others, Gary realized that Pilates is not only relational to gravity but is also relational to life, culminating into The Pilates Path to Health: Body, Mind and Spirit. This book was birthed through awareness, a stand for a shift in perception—a literary discovery of something unknown. This ‘unknown’ is annotated through the lens of contemporary philosophy, science and spirituality. This investigation of the unspoken benefits inherent in the practice of Joseph Pilate's methodology, then called Contrology, further our understanding why the word Pilates is a permanent, purposeful fixture in the whole health lexicon of today.  

    Finally, a contemporary voice in the Pilates community—speaks for the collective that recognizes Pilates as more than an exercise regimen—that lends distinction for teachers with a greater mission to evolve practitioner, student, and client to their next level of health. Because Contrology is evolving in a global community where people are seeking balance in all categories of their lives, this book is timely, acting as a marker of how Pilates is adapting and serving a 21st century world.  

    Gary is a member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and The International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM).

      "This book is important for the existence and survival of Joseph Pilates intention in the world.”-Lara Kolesar, Master Pilates Teacher, owner of Kolesar Body Knowledge Studios.
