Many believe it’s the mind that builds the body. Joe Pilates understood this, but did he understand his own mind? On this 100th episode of All Things Pilates, I wanted to present something a little different for you. Last year, Gareth Cornwall, a psychotherapist who is our guest today, sent me an email expressing his appreciation for this podcast. Well, it got me thinking about the role our psychology plays in the health of our body and I wondered how Gareth might have treated someone like Joseph Pilates who experienced so much childhood trauma and adversities later in life. So on this special episode, Gareth will take us through some of the process of what it might have been like had he treated or even just made observations about Joseph Pilates. As Gareth says, “Part of reclaiming life after trauma is a return to control - and certainly 'Contrology' seems to have a really positive impact on that journey.

In the 1980’s, Elena Bartley our guest today was a company member of Dance Theater of Harlem, the most prestigious black ballet dance company in the world. As fortune would have it, Elena learned about the Contrology System AKA Pilates, from the company’s executive director, Kathy Grant who was as many of you know, a disciple of Joe Pilates. After spending two decades as one of the company’s soloists, Elena transitioned to teaching Pilates and brought with her a dancer’s eye for detail and a passion for movement. She also studied with other first generation teachers, Ron Fletcher, Eve Gentry, Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska who all informed Elena’s teaching.
