About JOE
JOE Contrology Studio is dedicated to the preservation and practice of Joseph Pilates’ original system. Taught with integrity, precision, and respect for the work as it was intended.
The studio is grounded in Contrology as a complete and ordered system, free from trend, choreography, or modern reinterpretation. The work is taught as it stands, allowing discipline, repetition, and time to do their job.
Founded by Sarah-Jane Iriks, JOE is shaped by over twenty years of teaching, a lifelong dedication to self-mastery, and a direct lineage through Jay Grimes, with mentorship under Wade Edwell. Sessions are guided by observation rather than modification for convenience, with fidelity to the method at the centre of every decision.
JOE is for men and women seeking a serious, consistent practice, and who understand that the work does not need to be softened to be effective.
This is Contrology, taught as it was meant to be taught.
