Return to Life Through Contrology by Joseph H. Pilates,William John Miller Pdf

Contrology is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Through Contrology you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities. This true rhythm and control is observed both in domestic pets and wild animals —without known exceptions. Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit. In childhood, with rare exceptions, we all enjoy the benefits of natural and normal physical development. However, as we mature, we find ourselves living in bodies not always complimentary to our ego. Our bodies are slumped, our shoulders are stooped, our eyes are hollow, our muscles are flabby, and our vitality extremely lowered, if not vanished. This is but the natural result of not having uniformly developed all the muscles of our spine, trunk, arms, and legs in the course of pursuing our daily labors and office activities. If you will faithfully perform your Contrology exercises regularly only four times a week for just three months as outlined in RETURN TO LIFE, you will find your body development approaching the ideal, accompanied by renewed mental vigor and spiritual enhancement. 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. You will develop muscular power with corresponding endurance, ability to perform arduous duties, to play strenuous games, to walk, run or travel for long distances without undue body fatigue or mental strain. And this by no means is the end.

The Pilates Effect by Stacey Redfield,Sarah Holmes Pdf

The true story behind this fitness phenomenon and its long, controversy-plagued road to popular success. While millions today find the Pilates system helps to strengthen the core, improve posture, and recover from or prevent injuries and pain, Pilates has been clouded in controversy since the beginning. Its origin story is one of greed, ego, celebrities, and lies, with heated legal controversy that threatened the industry. In The Pilates Effect, Stacey Redfield and Sarah Holmes reveal the hidden history of Pilates. From humble beginnings, Joseph Pilates founded the groundbreaking regimen in New York City and worked closely with his partner Clara to rehabilitate and renew dancers who had been injured or were aging. Although Joseph’s core strengthening regimen was touted as “fifty years ahead of [its] time,” finance and health issues plagued Joe and Clara’s business. A small and devoted group of followers, including Carola Trier, would fight to spread the practice that they felt gave them a second chance at life and rehabilitated their bodies and souls. A fascinating and inspiring story of fitness in America, The Pilates Effect showcases the people and events that formed an iconic industry, and reveal how it offers positive change for everyday people regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background.

Black eyes crossed the sea by Maria Cristina Francisco Pdf

Brazil is a racialized country. Its social history is recorded in the spaces occupied by the colonial invasion, the domination of native peoples, slavery and European immigration. Walking through this large territory, it is clear that this story has imprinted marks on the land, colonized bodies and minds, which translates and is updated daily in relationships, in the purposeful invisibility of a part of the population. Everyone participates in this system, black, white and non-white, and it is essential that this is known. The racist ideology, propagating ideas of inferiority and subordination of certain peoples, crosses everyone, although from different places and experiences, and oppressed peoples (black and indigenous) suffer immensely from the consequences of social inequalities, leading to physical and psychological illness. The white race enjoys opportunities, but exempts itself from responsibility in an unfair system. The African diaspora portrayed in this book, "Black Eyes Crossed the Sea", reveals the impact of the psychic effects caused by racism and its consequences in inter and intrapsychic relations, singularly in black people. The theme is a call with the intention of sensitizing professionals from different areas of knowledge to understand what is inscribed in addition to skin color. It is a statement where everyone needs to recognize and review themselves. It is a door that opens in the hope of elaborating and transforming thinking about values, colonialist beliefs, and a possible emancipation. Going through the theoretical bases of therapeutic action, based on Wilhelm Reich's corporal analysis, on Alexander Lowen's Bioenergetics, on David Boadella's Biosynthesis, on Frantz Fanon and Neusa Santos Souza's psychoanalysis and on Pichon Riviére's operative group, the corporal work is highlighted, stage of individual and collective history with a view to this transforming place. Not only starting from verbalization, but having the body as a protagonist, home to joy, suffering and trauma. A group experience is also shown in the encounter of black bodies, a place for exchanging reflections and experiences in relation to blackness and whiteness, which over time proved to be affirmative in the strengthening of identity. In the words recorded here, it is stated how vital it is for institutions that aim to transmit knowledge to review themselves so as not to reproduce behaviors that lead to inequalities, injustices, suffering and illness. This book is about believing, fraternal value, respect, caring for yourself and others, so that you can have better days for everyone.
