Josept Pilates: “It’s the mind itself which builds the body.”

Pilates was enamored of the classical Greek ideal of a man who is balanced equally in body, mind, and spirit. He came to believe that our modern life-style, bad posture, and inefficient breathing were the roots of poor health. His answer to these problems was to design a unique series of life enhancing physical exercises that help to correct muscular imbalances and improve posture, coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility, as well as to increase breathing capacity and organ function.

Robin Cousins: “Ice dance should not be seen as a rigid conformist form of figure skating. There is a great deal of freedom and originality to be had. “

Skating is unpredictable, money or facilities are worthless to create a skating star. A skater must be dedicated, passionate, and willing to learn.
