Contrology Handbook
The Contrology Handbook is a resource you will read, and refer to, as you progress on your Pilates journey. Informed by Jay Grimes’ work with Joe and Clara, it is an essential resource suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners that teaches everything except the exercises, including:
- Clarifying Joe’s Method and motivations
- Clearly defining the Center as the focus of Contrology
- Offering tips for your practice and understanding
