Connecting the Dots:
Joseph Pilates spoke of holistic healing long before it was popularized in the late 20th century. His system inherently provides health and fitness of the mind and body. As more trainers and teachings were birthed, the evolution of Pilates included everything from the purely fitness oriented styles, to the more therapeutic models and many modifications of the original work. What's been excavated appears to point the way back to Joe's theory that "...the attainment and maintenance of a sound mind and body..." bridges the gap between the body and soul. This module is an educational bridge between the physical and the energetic. It uncloaks the sophistication of the Pilates system, magnifying the synergy of body and mind and the human capacity to self-heal. Universal laws apply: as within so without; as above, so below.

Creating Clarity:
Open your body to spirit by clearing away the dense mass that collects in the mental, emotional and physical forms. Learn and use the practical tools of cause and effect, trauma clearing, grounding & present time. By developing trust in your inner voice, you will make major paradigm shifts. Go beyond realization into the actualization of universal principles and true responsibility in your daily life. Sustaining clarity in any dynamic is possible when unconditional compassion is present within yourself and for others; you will then be connected to the divine plan and a true conduit for healing.
