Our Method
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.
