Joseph Hubertus Pilates 1880 - 1967
Welcome to the
MICHAEL MILLER PILATES Home Page
Pilates is a method of physical and mental conditioning. A method
is a means used to attain an end -- the conditioning of the mind and body
into a fused state of readiness. Developed by Joseph Hubertus Pilates,
he originally called his method contrology -- the complete coordination
of body, mind and spirit.
"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation
of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed
body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily
performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure."
Return to Life Through Contrology
by Joseph H. Pilates and William John Miller

The MICHAEL MILLER trademark is
a symbol of ideal posture and perfect body dynamics rooted in the physics
of spiral movement found in galaxies, whirlpools, shells, wind and light.
By choosing the attitude of natural and counter-balancing forces in
our own body we can we reduce the stress of gravity and move pain free
with ease and grace.
La griffe
de MICHAEL MILLER c'est le symbole de la posture idéale et d'une parfaite
dynamique corporelle qui prend sa source dans un mouvement de spirale
présent dans les galaxies, les tourbillons, les coquillages, le vent
et la lumière. En choisissant l'attitude des forces naturelles qui s'équilibrent
dans notre propre corps, nous pouvons réduire la loi de la gravité et
nous mouvoir avec aisance et grâce sans aucun effort.
Die Marke MICHAEL MILLER symbolisiert
eine ideale Körperhaltung und eine perfekte Körperdynamik, wie sie in
der Spiralbewegung von Galaxien, Wasserswirbeln, Muscheln, Wind und
Licht zu finden ist. In dem wir die natürlichen und ausgleichenden Kräfte
in unserem Körper unterstützen, können wir die Belastung durch die Schwerkraft
mindern und uns schmerzfrei und mit Leichtigkeit und Anmut bewegen.
La marca registrada MICHAEL MILLER
simboliza la postura ideal y una perfecta dinámica corporal basadas
en la física del movimiento espiral de galaxias, remolinos, caracolas,
del viento y de la luz. Al adoptar las posturas naturales y equilibradas
propias de nuestro cuerpo, podemos reducir el peso de la gravedad y
por lo tanto realizar movimientos indoloros, en forma sencilla y graciosa.
A marca registrada de MICHAEL
MILLER é o símbolo da postura ideal e da dinâmica perfeita do corpo,
cujas raízes se encontram na física e na expressão natural do movimento
espiral das galáxias, redemoinhos, conchas, vento e luz. Escolhendo
a atitude natural que contrabalança as forças em nosso próprio corpo,
podemos reduzir o efeito da gravidade e nos movimentarmos livre de dores,
com graça e sem esforço.
