Pilates is precise work for the deep muscles of the trunk, guided by breath. At Anida Lab it takes three forms: on the Reformer, on the Tower and on the mat. All three last fifty minutes, and your teacher adapts every exercise to you.
The principles stay the same: control, breath, center. What changes is the resistance and the size of the class.
Springs and a sliding carriage. The springs support before they challenge, and one teacher sees all five people.

Read moreA class opens with breath and a first activation of the center. From there the sequence moves through the legs, the back and the shoulders, controlled rather than fast. Your teacher sets the springs or shows the lighter version of each exercise.
Afterwards the body feels longer and more upright. The work reaches the muscles that hold you through the day, with little load on the joints.

ReadPilates is a method of controlled movement built on breath, precision and the deep muscles of the trunk. It strengthens the center that keeps the body upright and asks for attention rather than speed. It can be practised on the mat or on apparatus with springs.
The Reformer is the most guided form: a sliding carriage, adjustable springs and five people per class. The Tower works with springs on a wall unit, with twelve places. Mat Pilates uses your own weight as resistance, with fourteen places in the Aura Room.
If you want close attention, start on the Reformer. If you want to learn the principles first, start on the mat. Many people end up combining them.
No experience is needed in any of the three. Every exercise has a lighter version, and your teacher sets you up before the class starts. Tell your teacher about pregnancy, an injury or a sensitive back before you begin.
