Soon after defecting to the US in the late 1960's, Juliu gave up dancing in order to pursue the study of yoga. He soon realized that he could successfully combine the benefits of all these disciplines - swimming, gymnastics, yoga and dance - into one exercise system in which all the major muscle groups work interdependently and in an integrated manner. Together with this concept he created his first exercise machine, a truly innovative and unique piece of work-the Pulley Tower Combination Unit.

Fundamentals of Pilates

Developed by Joseph Pilates, this practice focuses on strengthening and stretching the body; resulting in long, lean muscles.

Juliu Horvath, founder of the Horvath Method, is a Hungarian raised in Romania. He began his professional career as a ballet dancer after competing for years as a gymnast and swimmer.

Juliu is one of three children and as a youth Juliu participated in swimming, gymnastics and rowing as well as other sports.



 

 


 

Juliu continues to run workshops around the world and his work is being recognized as truly unique and innovative.


 

 

Pilates is not just exercise. The very specific movements and breathing patterns require focused attention engaging both body and mind.

 



Juliu returned to New York in the 1980's and began teaching his "method" at "Steps on Broadway" and in Central Park. When Juliu developed a large enough following he opened up White Cloud Studio.

In 1977 Juliu moved to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands where he built a humble dwelling in the mountains and continued an intensive study and practice of yoga. During this diligent study of yoga he discovered the inner workings of the body and developed a system that he called "Yoga for Dancers", which is a deeper and more advanced level that is now called Gyrokinesis™.

Joseph H. Pilates was born in Germany in 1880. As a frail child he was determined to build and strengthen his physique and so developed a lifelong interest in body conditioning. He later went on to become an accomplished diver, gymnast, and boxer.

A brief history

 

PILATES - A brief history

It is used by straddling the GYROTONER® seat or standing alongside it. The exerciser places a hand on each handle and practices the "arch and curl." Movements work the spine's ability to move and twist as required in daily life, open up the intercostals [the short muscles between the ribs] and tighten the oblique abdominals. Another move, a figure eight, requires more coordination. Placing two hands on one wheel handle, the exerciser stirs the wheel around and around stretching the spine and challenging the body to move in wider and wider circles. Other exercises challenge the lower extremities, arms and shoulders. Sports specific training (including swimming, tennis and golf) as well as gentle therapy, are very much part of the repertoire.

 

Gyrotonic Method - A brief history



Juliu is one of three children and as a youth Juliu participated in swimming, gymnastics and rowing as well as other sports.

 

To participate in this program simply:

In November 2001, Iso Fit became the first Gyrotonic® center in Asia to have the Gyrotonic® Jumping Board available for client training with its unique sliding platform design which works in conjunction with parallel bars enables the exerciser to strengthen and tone the core trunk muscle and extremity and develops a sense of balance and co-ordination.

Although only recently having been "rediscovered" by the athletic community, PILATES offers one of the more optimum methods for conditioning the body. Comprised of over 500 movements performed on specialized equipment, PILATES stretches and tones muscles while reducing tension and strain from the joints and lower back. The result is an increase in strength, grace, energy and flexibility.

 

 

Pilates is not just exercise. The very specific movements and breathing patterns require focused attention engaging both body and mind.

 

This exercise system strengthens the "powerhouse"- abdomen, back and buttocks so stabilizing the body and enabling it to move freely. It dramatically and rapidly improves strength, flexibility, posture and overall alignment of the musculature and skeleton without increasing bulk. It is an indispensable tool for athletes and unconditioned people alike enabling them to develop coordination, aesthetic form, strength and balanced posture.

 



 

 


Over the years as the effectiveness of his exercise method became known, "Pilates" became more and more popular. Currently the "Pilates" method of exercise is used worldwide by people of all ages, sex, and fitness levels for body conditioning and rehabilitation purposes.

PILATES - A brief history

 

During the First World War, as he was a German citizen, Joseph was interned in England and during that period he worked as a nurse. While tending immobilized patients, he designed exercise apparatus using springs attached to hospital beds. These machines and the exercises that he developed for them were to become the nucleus of his body conditioning method. After the war he moved to New York and opened his first "Contrology" studio there in 1926.
