The Contrology Lifestyle Project: Teacher of the Contrology Method • CECs • Retreats • Online & in-person workouts • Global community • Preserving Joe’s legacy as passed on by Jay Grimes

Return to life — and feel like an athlete.

There is something deeply empowering about taking ownership of your own body again.
Not in a forced way, but through practice, repetition, focus, and trust in the method.

With every workout, you start to feel more of yourself.
More strength.
More connection.
More of what has always belonged to you — but maybe hasn’t been fully involved yet.

Here is our wonderful Daniela practicing Hanging Pull-Ups.

Daniela teaches our Friday evening Contrology Workout and is also a valued part of our Teacher of the Contrology Method Mentorship Education.

And still, Pilates is only one part of who she is.
In her life beyond the studio, Daniela is also a remarkable artist — and maybe that is exactly what you can see in her work: discipline, sensitivity, presence, and a deep understanding of form.

To me, she is a beautiful example of someone who does not only teach Pilates.
She lives the work — in her body, in her teaching, and in the way she moves through life.

I’m very happy to welcome my dear mentor Sandy Shimoda from back to Core Pilates as a guest teacher on May 2nd.

I’m especially happy to introduce her to those who may know her only from or from her online sessions—and haven’t yet experienced her work live.

In these 90 minutes live-online, we’ll work together through the Contrology method—rooted in the work of Joseph Pilates and carried forward through the lineage of .

Sandy teaches with clarity and precision, always close to the movement. She has a rare ability to notice the small details that change everything—and to make them immediately usable.

What truly sets her apart is how she combines deep, embodied experience with a thoughtful way of breaking down the method and the lifestyle around it. She makes Contrology accessible without diluting it—so both experienced teachers and those newer to the work can find a real, practical entry point.

Contrology Workout

At our studio, there is one main group format: Contrology Workout.
It always stays the same — the structure is clear, the roles are clear.

Within the Contrology Workout, there are different spots, happening at the same time:

• Intro spots for first- and second-timers
• Spots for regular, independent practitioners
• Online spots for professionals, or autonomous athletes training from their studio, home or while traveling

Most of the time, all of this happens in one shared session.
Occasionally, formats are offered separately — but this is the exception.

We usually work with a maximum of 8 participants total.
For example:
4 people in the studio (3 independent practitioners and 1 newcomer)
plus 4 participants joining online.

This structure allows us to offer more sessions, more flexibility, and a fair price-performance balance — without compromising the quality of the work.

What is an Intro?
Intro spots are reserved for new clients.
You are introduced to the original Contrology repertoire on the Reformer and on the Mat plus some this that is only for you in the end.

You train in the same room as regular practitioners.
You see how they work independently.
You experience what this practice is about.

After the Intro, you decide whether this way of working is right for you.
Whether you are ready to take responsibility and work proactively toward your goals — with the strings in your own hands.

What is a Contrology Workout?
In a Contrology Workout, you work independently within a structured sequence, under supervision.

We observe.
We keep it safe.
We support your process with subtle, precise feedback.

We know your name because you show up regularly.
We know your challenges.
We choose the exercises that move you forward.
And we notice your progress — even the small steps.

Our aim is to support you in more, trusting your , and learning through -efficacy.

Be clear about one thing:
This is not entertainment.
It is work.

And it works.

Traditional Pilates — as it was passed on to me

From January 23–25, 2026, we meet in studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg or live online for a 17-hour workshop (including breaks) for certified Pilates teachers.

This workshop is rooted in , as it was passed on to me by .
We’ll work in an format, guided by your questions and practical experience.

This weekend is intended as a meeting of people who are friendly and collegial in spirit. Everyone is welcome who would like to be part of this and brings a genuine interest in the work, exchange, and . It’s about shared practice, respectful dialogue, and learning from one another.

You’ll have the opportunity to
– take part in a free Contrology workout,
– teach within the open studio setting,
– explore selected traditional Pushes & Pulls,
– and work with topics such as levels and the systematic development of the exercises.

Some questions don’t have fixed answers — they are explored through practice, observation, and dialogue.

Workshop fee: €650 for the full weekend (including taxes).

Some participants are arriving already on Thursday. We are considering an informal community dinner on one of the evenings (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday). Participation would be optional and at individual expense.

Accommodation prices in Berlin are generally quite reasonable at this time of year.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information about the workshop or support with planning and organization.

At the beginning of a new year, many people look for .
I look for .

In our studio, I see you. Every day.
Not once. Not occasionally. But with . Over time, we grow together.

When you come regularly, we know your name.
We remember your body, your patterns, your progress.
This consistency allows us to give deeper, more precise feedback — and that’s what leads to noticeable, felt results.

This isn’t just about building a movement habit.
It’s about building relationships — with your body, and with the people you move alongside. You recognize each other, mirror one another, and celebrate progress together.

This is how Joseph Pilates ran his studio — the same people, returning again and again.
This is the spirit of .

Our Tribe isn’t built on quick results.
It’s built on continuity, shared experience, and a lifestyle that slowly shifts because the environment supports it.

The Contrology Lifestyle Card is your entry into this culture — one month, unlimited group sessions, live online or in our Berlin-Kreuzberg studio.
If you show up consistently, we’ll talk about how to continue together.

This isn’t about buying a result.
It’s about becoming part of something that lasts.

2025 asked a lot. From me. From us.

I’m deeply grateful for this community — especially for those who chose to stay. To train consistently, to support the studio online and in person, and to commit to the work. That loyalty touched me deeply and showed me how much people long for Contrology — not as a trend, but as something steady and sustaining.

This year made one thing very clear: Contrology only works when people keep showing up. Again and again.

There were many meaningful moments. One highlight was welcoming my mentor Sandy Shimoda from Vintage Pilates to Berlin and being surrounded by a community that feels like home. The Memorial Conversation for Jay Grimes was one of those moments that stay.

It was also a demanding year. Numbers fluctuated, support structures were fragile, and it became clear that in 2026 we need to refocus on what truly carries the work: real relationships, consistency, and trust.

In May, my mother passed away. At the same time, my father faced a serious medical condition that led to the loss of his leg. There were many journeys, a lot of exhaustion, and also new closeness — and learning to let go.

After more than 20 years, I went my own way professionally. From that step, the Teacher of the Contrology Method grew. I’m grateful for the resonance and for a first cohort running with committed, thoughtful athletes. This work is shaped together with a dedicated group of lecturers who co-create the training with care, depth, and shared responsibility.

I was invited to work with inspiring communities in different places and continued my own training and education within the Vintage Pilates network. Working online remains an important part of my work — connection beyond place.

This year reminded me how much priorities matter — family, work, movement, and presence. Not perfectly balanced, but consciously lived. Pilates helps.

Thank you to everyone who carries the Contrology community 🤍

Over time, I’ve noticed something in my own daily practice.

What I live as a doesn’t stay separate from the space around me.
The way I move, return to the work, deal with frustration, start again — it settles into the room.

For me, began as something I chose to do.
Over the years, it became something I simply live.
Less a decision, more a way of organizing myself — physically and mentally.

When are around, this becomes especially visible.

They don’t experience it as a concept or a choice.
They experience it as atmosphere.

They don’t sit and watch.
They move around, interrupt, test boundaries, lose interest, come back.
And somewhere in between, movement becomes familiar.

Not because I explain it.
But because it’s there.

Some days the work flows, some days it doesn’t.
I still return to it.
That is what they see.

Touch, effort, focus, correction, rest — all of it happens quietly, without instruction.
What starts as my personal lifestyle slowly becomes part of the shared space.

Whether you call that or lifestyle almost feels secondary to me.
What matters is that it’s lived, not taught.

And that, over time, it shapes how a room feels.
How bodies relate.
How effort and rest coexist.

For me, that’s Contrology beyond the exercises.
