Re: Contrology practice: How Joe intended it?
Hello Joao, I appreciate that you don't take it personally... really. Now you quoted " Rolling exercises closes the chest, so I learned to exhale on spinal flexion. " that was the quote that I really focused on. Was that what you learned or what you thought you learned? ;) When you describ...

Re: Contrology practice: How Joe intended it?
What I am trying to say too, is that the breathing for the Roll Up that you told me is the "optional one in case the client is really stuck and you also don't have a strap or a heavy pole to help them with" and now that breathing became the standard. Worse, the original is not taught, even...

Re: Contrology practice: How Joe intended it?
Hello Joao, In the following paragraph, when I write 'you' I mean 'one', 'anyone'... A few things to point out -and this is not only how Joseph did them but how I also learned them: - Rolling exercises are NOT necessarily done EXHALING. Certainly not the Roll Up, the (Simple) Neck Pull orthe Roll do...

Re: Contrology practice: How Joe intended it?
Hello Joao, Yes, I know the book and John, and I have had the pleasure of commenting the book with him too. While you may be surprised that Joseph asked him to breath precisely with the movements it should really not come as a surprise to you. We all learned those breathings patterns. I am a little ...

Re: Contrology practice: How Joe intended it?
Hello Joao. Welcome! While it may sound like a complicated question, it is simple. Needless to say that during this time many people do not have access to their studio/all pieces of equipment so we all overdo whatever we can. It is what it is, and we try to make the most of it. Before continuing on ...
Re: Reformer
Hello there, I wouldn't say that the Balance Body is a copy of the Gratz: their "archival" reformer was in the market way ahead of Gratz. In 2009 Gratz turn down my offer of giving them the original measurements with the following sentence: "we already produce the original". As I...
Re: Reformer
Hello Tiffany, While we all will have preferences we should avoid making absolute statements as far as equipment is concerned. No one brand produces a product like the originals. They all have changed the designs and they all copy each other like crazy. Even Joseph's original measurements are poor f...

Re: Is the rest of the book available?
Hello Tiffany,
Is a "dummy" text. It doesn't talk about the Roll Up. You can ignore it.
Hopefully it will be the real text soon.
Greetings,
Javier

Re: Is the rest of the book available?
Hello Tiffany, Thank you!!! :oops: You asked me in an email -I respond here because it may be interesting to others- if I have workshops you expressed your doubts. Never doubt, always question: what I mean is be easy in your approach though determined. Once you decide to do a version of the exercise...

Re: Is the rest of the book available?
Hello Tiffany!
Thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated.
The book will take a while longer. Much to do... but I will continue uploading pages. I will be very obvious on the web site when published. It is a lot of work but I don't rush.

Javier
