The Original Method on the Original Apparatus

Welcome to Lili Viola Pilates. We teach the original, authentic method created by Joseph Pilates (1883–1967). He named his system Contrology—the art and science of control.

This holistic method integrates body, mind, and spirit by focusing deeply on postural alignment, physical awareness, and proper breathing. Here, you will learn to use your mind and breath to consciously control your muscles.

Our workouts guide you through exercises using the full suite of apparatus invented by Joseph Pilates, strengthening and balancing your entire body 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
