Darien demonstrates what the Contrology technique is designed to do and to help you get more out of your training sessions. Studying Contrology is a lifelong practice and as Darien guides you through these six classical Pilates Mat routines, you’ll learn why they are essentials to the Contrology System: The First Seven™ Classical Intermediate Mat Classical Advanced Mat Teaser Series Short Box Series Rowing Series In Part Two, the Pilates in 5 series, Darien demonstrates specifically chosen mat exercises and then replicates similar exercises on a particular piece of equipment. You’ll learn how the mat exercise progressions prepare the body for similar exercises on the apparatus. Darien shows the link between mat work and the apparatus and gives detailed cues to explain why Joe’s mat exercises set the foundation for the entire Method. Part Three is Darien’s original Gold Talk series and is designed for those considering becoming a Pilates teacher or are already teaching and want to deepen their understanding of the why and how to teach the Pilates Method.

What our users say: “Darien is that rare teacher who flows with grace and beauty in her own Pilates practice, and who also teaches specifically, in detail how to do what she does. Her expertise is levels beyond that of any other teacher I’ve ever seen in person or online. And now, with her new app, it goes with me wherever I go!” — Diane R., Visual Artist “As a professional dressage rider I've been a longtime student of Darien Gold and have taken her private lessons for years. Since moving away two years ago, I've relied on the Darien Gold Pilates app and it has been just as effective as being with Darien in person. This app has significantly improved my fitness and riding, and I feel like she's right there with me during every session. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to enhance their practice with the guidance of a master teacher.” — Allison Mathy, Dressage Horse trainer, rider and Gold Medalist "Pilates Mastery by Darien Gold is an extremely intuitive app that is silky smooth and easy to navigate. The app is broken into three categories, Practitioner, Teacher, and Mentor. All categories have videos that open with a written explanation that will help you progress with the Pilates Method whether you are a student or a teacher." — J. Vignola, Pilates civilian

Well365 brings whole-person wellbeing and real human coaching into one calm daily rhythm. Most wellness apps hand you a dashboard and leave. Well365 connects what you record to a real coach who can see it — only if you choose to share it — so the support you get is about your actual week. A CALM DAILY CHECK-IN Record how you feel in one tap. Add a habit, a gratitude note, or a few minutes of sleep when you want to, and skip them when you do not. Nothing here counts streaks against you or tells you that you have fallen behind. WORK WITH A REAL COACH Choose a wellness coach from the directory and message them in the app. Your coach can see the wellness activity you have agreed to share, so a conversation starts from where you actually are rather than from a form. SEE WHAT HELPS Mood trends, habit history, a wellness wheel across eight dimensions, and assessments that show patterns over time. Observations, never instructions. BRING IN WHAT YOUR IPHONE ALREADY RECORDS If you choose, Well365 reads steps, sleep, exercise minutes and mindful minutes from Apple Health to fill in the habits you pick. Nothing is read until you turn it on, and Well365 never writes to Apple Health. PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK Your journal entries are never shared with a coach unless you turn that on. You can see a log of every time a coach opened your wellness data, and you can export everything Well365 holds about you, or delete your account, from inside the app. Your employer never sees your individual entries. Lock Well365 with your face, fingerprint or passcode, add two-step verification, and sign out on every device at once if a phone goes missing. BUILT FOR EMPLOYER-SPONSORED WELLBEING Well365 is offered through employers as a wellbeing benefit. Join with your organisation's code, or use Well365 on your own. Well365 is a wellbeing and coaching service. It is not medical care, therapy, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a crisis service. In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In an emergency, call 911. Terms of Use: https://corewell365.com/well365/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://corewell365.com/well365/privacy/

Pilates Mastery™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
