Move the Body, Focus the Mind, Live the Spirit!
"Through 'Contrology' you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then, through proper repetition of its exercises, you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your mental and subconscious activities." ~Joseph Pilates
At Trio Pilates, all of your training will be based on the authentic principles of the genuine Pilates method with teachers who have a close instructional lineage to Joseph Pilates himself.
We believe that the body, mind and spirit are a trio meant to be in balance with each other. Our goal is to help each of our students to attain bodies that move efficiently, minds that have clarity, and spirits to live the full life that we all deserve.
Authentic Pilates
Mr. Pilates used the term 'Contrology' for his method which emphasized controlled movement from a strong core using a range of apparatuses to guide and train the body.
We use the term “Authentic Pilates” because we are dedicated to teaching the actual exercises that Joseph Pilates created, use his order, and teach with the same intention.
Pilates Lineage
The huge growth in popularity for Pilates has resulted in an equally tremendous demand for teachers and training facilities. A truly authentic instructor should be able to trace a close instructional lineage to Joseph Pilates in generational degrees of separation.
A first generation instructor (also known as an "elder") is one who was trained by Joseph Pilates himself. Second generation teachers were trained by the first, and so on.
