~ Joseph Pilates ~

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence,are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.

Im 50 years ahead of my time.

The mind, when housedin a healthful body,possesses a glorioussense of power.

Patience and persistenceare vital qualities in theultimate successfulaccomplishment of anyworthwhile endeavor.

"With body, mind, and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole,what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person."

~ Yogananda~Learn to be calm and you will always be happy.

Faithfulness in the performanceof small duties gives us strengthto adhere to difficultdeterminations that life willsomeday force us to make.

The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy.If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation,

remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego; it doesn't belong to the soul.

Smiling away your troubles requiresa clear conscience that harborno insincerity.

The season of failure is the best timefor sowing the seeds ofsuccess.

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly.We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

~Ida Rolf~Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function,

Appropriate form must exist or be created.

Rolfing can be like making your bed in the morning. You think youre going to get by withoutpulling that bed apart, so you pull up this cover and the next cover.

When you get all the covers puffed up, youve got nine ridges running across the bed.Now youve got to go to a deeper layer and organize the deeper layer, and make your bed on top of that.

Then youve got a made bed.

Well its the same with the body: youve got to organize those deeper layers.

no situation exists in a humanwhich a psychologist would diagnoseas a feeling of insecurity or

inadequacy unless it is accompaniedby a physical situation which bearswitness to the fact that thegravitational support is inadequate.

This is the gospel of Rolfing:when the body gets working

appropriately, the forces ofgravity can flow through.Then, spontaneously,the body heals itself.

Born May 19, 1896, Died March 19, 1979American Biochemist and Creator of Structural Integration or Rolfing

~Charles Darwin~I love fools experiments. I am always making them.

We can allow satellites, planets,suns, universe, nay whole systemsof universe[s,] to be governed bylaws, but the smallest insect,

we wish to be created at onceby special act.

A scientific man ought to have

no wishes, no affections,-- a mere heart of stone.

Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read variousscientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or

conclusions may be drawn from them.

Born February 12, 1809, Died April 19, 1882English Naturalist who documented Evolution and Natural Selection
