How to do Pilates Exercises the EasyVigour Way...
Introduction to Pilates Controlology & Exercises the EasyVigour Way

Thank you for taking the time to check out Pilates Controlology & Exercises the EasyVigour Way ! Before you start, you should know that I am not teaching classical Pilates. You would need to go to an accredited Pilates studio for that. EasyVigour Pilates is Classical Pilates Method in alliance with Alexander Technique and "Fourth Era Physiotherapy". There are certain techniques utilized with each and every exercise. Once you have learned these techniques, you will find them of great help for Pilates Mat Workouts. Even more importantly, the same techniques, when applied through your day will protect and enhance you and the way you move! - Your whole lifestyle will be improved! - Take it from me, they can make a huge difference - Take time to get these instructions right!

Oh, and just a word of encouragement here. It took me a good 2 years to learn to apply the basic Pilates Exercise techniques competently, and I am still improving. The great thing is that benefits occur even before full competency is achieved! If you are struggling to "get it right", just keep trying, and you will get there.

P.S. Please always work within the comfortable limits of pain or frustration!

P.P.S. If you like the concepts in this free e-book, please check out the EasyVigour Project at the web site address below. More publications will follow!
