WHAT IS THIS CLASS?

Pilates is a full-body workout that improves balance, increases joint mobility, and builds lean muscle while also stretching it. What makes Pilates different from other training methods? While the goal is similar, the key difference lies in the “powerhouse”—the core—from which all movements originate, forming the foundation of the method.

Pilates focuses on maintaining the natural S-shaped curve of the spine during exercises. This requires strengthening the deep abdominal muscles, which Pilates is particularly effective at. By properly engaging the core, it teaches correct posture through the stabilization of the pelvis and other joints, and later enables conscious, isolated muscle movements—leading to improved body awareness. This awareness is essential for sports and also helps reduce musculoskeletal issues in everyday life.

The Pilates method strengthens muscles from the inside out, starting with the core. It is a continuous sequence of movements consciously adapted to the structure of the human body.

HOW IS THE CLASS STRUCTURED?

The class begins with a gentle warm-up, followed by a sequence of Pilates exercises, and finishes with stretching. The focus is on quality over quantity. Throughout the session, we emphasize stabilizing the pelvis and core while maintaining proper breathing. Exercises can be fully adapted to individual needs, and small equipment (fitball, soft ball, resistance bands, Pilates ring, foam roller) can be used to add variety and enhance core activation, increasing effectiveness.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Suitable for everyone, as the exercises can be performed at multiple levels—from beginner to advanced. The instructor provides easier or more challenging variations based on individual fitness levels, with a strong emphasis on proper technique and quality.
