My Favorite Educational program for using the best Pilates Method

I have been trained in Sweden at Stockholm Pilates Center under the instructions of Carita's Leche. As a licensed Stott Pilates instructor I am teaching the whole stott pilates matwork repertoire since 2007. In summer 2008 I have been trained at the Reformer, Cadillac , stability chair and barrels for a whole month at the Stockholm's Pilates Center a licensed center for the Stott Pilates . It is important to learn from the sources. It is important to use trademarks but you owe to use them when you have the license and you are certified.

I would like to extend a big thank to Moira Merithiew, the first lady in Pilates, for the intensive and best methodical training in Pilates program!!!!

Another Bravo goes to John Garey a pure teacher who gave a new fresh look to the old fashion classical pilates methodology. We respect the old way but we need to go ahead. We need to upgrade Pilates!!!

NOW I am creating my own Pilates Workout for Gyms and Personal training which I call "Athletic Contrology" Using dumbells, flexbands ,steps, cables and fitballs / Bosu...Its hard and its so effective and of course safe!!! Using Proprioseption, Strength, Circuit and Control!!!

BOSU™ is an acronym for "both sides utilized". The BOSU® Balance Trainer can be used with the platform side either up or down for different types of balance challenge. The solid platform is 25 inches in diameter and the dome should be inflated until it is firm. Two recessed handles on the bottom of and towards the sides on the platform make it easy to turn over or carry. This hybrid fitness product has its genesis in the field of medicine, as well as balance, functional and sports specific training. Neuromuscular physiology, which helps to define human movement, provides the science that backs this remarkably complete approach to training. The BOSU® Balance Trainer offers a different means to make exercise more appealing and effective for average people, fitness enthusiasts and highly trained athletes.
