The science of Contrology disproves that prevalent and all-too-trite saying; 'You're only as old as you feel.' The art of Contrology proves that the only real guide to your true age lies not in years or how you THINK you feel but as you ACTUALLY are as infallibly indicated by the degree of natural and normalflexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout life.

Joseph Pilates

You are the age of your spine. You are as flexible as your spine. That transfers to other areas of your life.

Johnny Mercer

Focus on keeping your spine straight. It is the job of the spine to keep the brain alert.

B.K.S. Iyengar

Much of a man's character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul.

Herman Melville

When you have committed enough words to paper, you feel you have a spine stiff enough to stand up in the wind. But when you stop writing, you find that's all you are - a spine, a row of rattling vertebrae, dried out like an old quill pen.

Hilary Mantel

Joseph Pilates

Yoga is the fountain of youth. You're only as young as your spine is flexible.

Bob Harper

Once you accept the power of spine in the creative act, you will become much more efficient in your creativity. You will still get lost on occasion, but having a spine will anchor you.

Twyla Tharp

If you have a good spine, the gods will chase you. Nobody has psychological or emotional problems, everyone has a bad spine.

A man is as old as his spine is flexible!

Joseph Pilates

Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

Douglas MacArthur

Take it from me: If you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging up your back and runing its fingers up your spine, the best thing to do-the only thing-is run.
