| Words, photos, film | same exercise, same sequence |
| Defines Pilates as the complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. | fluorescense |
| Doing Pilates yields uniform development. | to get uniform developement requires uniform usage |
| Gravity forces the issue of alignment.(the fish in air) | |
| Alignment is perceptable (you can feel it) | |
| via tension (stretching a rubber band) | |
| it takes to endpoints (rotation) | |
| to trigger fluorescence (uniform usage) | |
| Uniform (whole body) | |
| Eccentric (out from the middle) | |
| to be eccentric you have to start at ease | |
| the true point of ecentricity is the inflection point | |
|
Loading (weight bearing) |
|
| to make any exercise harder | |
| more weight | |
| further away from the center | |
| fewer contact points | |
| tempo | |
| Flowing through | |
| you have to press the flow to find the fusion | |
| Progressive | |
| gradually increasing or decreasing in difficulty | |
