It’s not only about the movement. It’s about how you move. ✨

At The Art of Control, we believe there is value in taking the time to slow down, explain, and explore the details of each movement.

Sometimes the work asks us to find flow and move continuously through the exercises. Other times, the best thing we can do is pause, refine, and really understand what we’re doing.

There’s always time to go back to a detail, make a small adjustment, and discover something new.

Because learning the method isn’t about rushing through the exercises. It’s about taking the time to understand them. 🤍

The power of hands-on teaching. ✨

Sometimes the smallest adjustment can completely change the way a movement feels.

Hands-on corrections help students understand where to find connection, alignment, and control, so they can begin to feel the movement rather than simply perform it.

Because in Classical Pilates, we don’t just teach the exercises. We teach you how to understand your body. 🤍

ASCPIT IS CONTINUING IN THE USA! ✨🇺🇸

Last year, we shared that the Art and Science of Contrology® Pilates Instructor Training (ASCPIT) Intensive would be my final one in the USA. However, since then, we have received so many requests to continue offering the program that we have already had two more incredible ASCPIT Intensives!

And now, I’m happy to officially share that ASCPIT will continue in the USA! 🇺🇸

And there’s more… 👀

The Teacher of Teachers Master Program is coming soon! Stay tuned for more details and an exciting announcement.

Thank you for believing in this system and caring so deeply about the work.

Love, Health & Contrology to all,
Simona

A little look back at our August Intensive. ✨

Our apprentices spent hours working through Advanced Cadillac with Kristen—learning, practicing, refining, and putting their work into action.

So much focus, curiosity, and dedication in the studio. 🤍

We’re grateful for the time spent learning together and for all the work that continues beyond the studio.

Why the Order?✨

One of the defining principles of Classical Pilates is that the exercises are performed in a specific order—and for good reason.

Joseph Pilates designed the method as a complete system, where each exercise prepares the body for the next.

The sequence isn’t about making the workout harder. It’s about creating a logical progression that develops strength, mobility, coordination, and control throughout the body.

As you move through the order, your body becomes more organized, your awareness deepens, and each exercise builds upon the one before it.

This is one of the reasons Classical Pilates is so much more than a collection of individual exercises. Every movement has a purpose, and every exercise has a place within the system.

The order isn’t arbitrary. It’s part of the method.🤍

Did you know the order of the exercises was intentional? We’d love to hear your thoughts below✨

The work becomes personal. ✨

A private session offers something a group class simply can’t: dedicated time and attention to your individual body, your movement, and your practice.

Every exercise can be adapted, refined, and explored with greater detail. Your teacher can see the small things—where you’re holding tension, where you can find more connection, and where a subtle adjustment can completely change the movement.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about understanding more. 🤍

Here, Master Teacher Simona Cipriani works one-on-one with a student, bringing her knowledge, experience, and attention to every detail of the practice.

At The Art of Control, our teachers have all trained under Simona, carrying this approach to individualized teaching into their own private sessions.

A few moments from Simona’s time at Classical Rio 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. 🇧🇷✨

It was a wonderful opportunity to be part of this important gathering of the Classical Pilates community, bringing together teachers and practitioners from around the world to learn, share, and continue deepening their understanding of the method.

Simona had the honor of teaching an Archival Cadillac Workshop, exploring the original work and sharing her knowledge and experience with the Pilates community in Brasil. 🤍

She also had the opportunity to lead a Mat class for more than 400 participants, bringing the work to a room filled with teachers and practitioners from across Brasil and beyond. ✨

We’re so proud to see Simona continuing to share the work she has dedicated so much of her life to, and to see The Art of Control represented on an international stage.

Thank you to the Classical Rio team for creating such a beautiful space for learning, connection, and the preservation of Classical Pilates.

More from Simona’s time in Rio coming soon! 👀

Obrigada, Rio! 🇧🇷🤍
