excerpts from JH's book. Pilates and Miller WR Return to life through Contrology

His vision on health and wellbeing

gives context to his exercises.

"By doing the exercises 4 times a week

for 3 months ,

the development of your body approaches the ideal,

accompanied by renewed mental vigor and

spiritual improvement. "

"Physical fitness is the

first requirement to achieve happiness,

is the maintenance of

a uniformly developed body

with a solid mind, fully capable of performing naturally, easily and satisfactorily our many and varied tasks with pleasure and fun. "

"We must constantly strive to have strong and healthy bodies, and develop our minds to the limit of our capacity."

"that purifying mechanism like ´the internal shower´ that produces an invigoration and a physical and mental rejuvenation."
