Our Method

We teach the original method created by Joseph Pilates.

Joseph Pilates (1883-1967) named it Contrology, the art and science of control. This method focuses on postural alignment, physical awareness, and proper breathing (body, mind, and spirit). Students of Pilates learn to use their mind and breath to control their muscles.

At Lili Viola Pilates, we help you make these important mind-body connections. Our workouts lead you through exercises using all of the apparatus invented by Joseph Pilates to strengthen and balance you from head to toe. With discipline, consistency and time, you will become stronger, more flexible, more focused, and more resilient.

“Contrology is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play, and in the way you work.”

— Joseph Pilates
