| Abstract | The Pilates method as Joseph Hubertus Pilates originally defined it in the early 1920s, was called "Contrology," or the art of control, based on the ideal of attaining a complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Joseph Pilates's early writings emphasized the value of controlling the body rather than attending to the process of body awareness. This qualitative article investigates students' experiences in a semester-long Pilates mat class to address the question of whether students experience Pilates as a mind-body activity. Student responses (n = 63) were coded and four themes emerged: (a) body awareness and centering are fundamental to making changes in daily life; (b) increases in awareness and strength boost confidence; (c) awareness, relaxation, and positive mental attitude lead to improved stress management; and (d) concentration and intuition take time to develop. The article concludes with reflections on the integration of somatic practices and implications for postsecondary dance programs. (As Provided). |
