Pilates
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a low-impact workout involving slow and harmonious movements using moderate weight, engaging the muscles of the entire body with a main focus on the center of the body (the core). Developing s strong center of the body is important when we seek proper posture, the lack of which is at the root of all back, neck pain as well as pain in the joints. The core of the body wraps the muscles of the back, buttocks, pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. A healthy core means that all these muscles of the body are strong, flexible and work together as a team to support and stabilize the spine.
With a proven effect in improving body posture and joint mobility, Pilates training is extremely effective in relieving back, lower back and neck pain caused by muscle imbalances in the body.
During the sessions we learn to breath properly and to use the breth to improve the performance. The workout is a combination of different exercises performed in one series with different number of repetitions. The exercises in Pilates not only develop strong center but also improve concentration, coordination, body awareness, balance and the body-mind connection.
By default, each exercise refers to three difficulties – beginner, intermediate and advanced. For an optimal effect, Balance Line Studio recommends training 2-3 times a week.
Pilates with Reformer
Training on Joseph Pilates’ most famous invention, the Reformer is proven effective in strengthening and toning the muscles of the entire body, improving balance and flexibility. Balance Line Studio offers you the opportunity to train with the highest class Pilates equipment of the American brand Peak Pilates.
Especially suitable for people with spine and joint problems, training with the Reformer is a safe and enjoyable way to get in shape and feel good about your body.
Our certified instructors with many years of experience are here to help each client achieve maximum results.
Both beginners and advanced clients can benefit from the Pilates method and is suitable for both men and women of all ages.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Private pilates classes are great if you are looking for some one-on-one time with the instructor. This time gives the instructor, and you, a chance to get to know your body more personally and in-depth so as to create an exercise plan that would work best for you. A private pilates instructor is guaranteed to be with you through your exercises and provide a safe environment for you to work in. By working one-on-one with the instructor and receiving more detailed instruction than you would in a group class, you will be able to progress at a quicker rate into the advanced exercises.
Private sessions are fully tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals.
To ensure we create the most effective training plan, the first session is always a private one. During this initial visit, the instructor assesses the client’s fitness level and designs a personalized program accordingly. The session may include work on various Pilates apparatus — Reformer, Tower, Chair, and Barrel — depending on the individual’s ability and experience.
Private sessions are especially suitable for people with specific conditions or injuries, as well as those with a sedentary lifestyle who want to get in shape and feel good in their body. Along with a focus on injury prevention, private Pilates sessions can be a safe, effective way to rebuild strength and function after an injury. Your Pilates instructor can look at your medical history, evaluate your current fitness level, and create a plan to help you rebuild strength in a safe, supervised manner.
Compared to a group class, a private session allows your instructor to focus on moves that are the safest yet most effective for your recovery. Whether you are dealing with a “runner’s knee”, a strained lower back from sitting at a desk all day, or a sports-related injury, a private session can help you safely get back on track.
SEMI-PRIVATE/DUET SESSIONS
Semi-Private sessions are for friends, couples or partners with similar goals that would like to work out together. If you are looking to enjoy the benefits of a “Pilates For General Health and Well Being Session” you may want to look to share a session with a friend which can be a cost effective way for you to enjoy the benefits of a pilates private session. Your instructor will guide you through a challenging and invigorating workout using the pilates apparatus.
At Balance Line, we strive to create an environment where every session is high-quality, safe, and deeply rewarding.
To help us maintain this standard, please take a moment to review our studio guidelines:
🧦 Socks are required for all sessions
We recommend wearing grip socks to prevent slipping and ensure greater stability and safety during your workout. If you don’t have a pair, grip socks are available for purchase at the studio.
📵 Device-free time – just for you
Our sessions require full focus and presence. Phones, smartwatches, and other devices disrupt both your experience and the instructor’s guidance, so their use is not permitted during class.
💇♀️ Hair must be tied up
To allow full freedom of movement and avoid accidents, please ensure your hair is securely tied before class.
🚫 No hair clips or sharp elements on clothing
Please avoid wearing metal clips, zippers, buckles, or any sharp accessories that may damage the upholstery of the equipment. Many exercises are performed lying down, so your outfit should be soft, comfortable, and free of rigid or protruding parts.
🩺 Let us know about any injuries or health conditions
If this is your first visit and you have a previous injury or specific health concerns, please inform your instructor before class. This allows us to tailor the session to your needs and keep your experience both safe and effective.
🚫 No children in the studio
As much as we understand that scheduling around children can be challenging, the studio is a space for personal focus and calm. For safety and respect to other clients, children are not allowed during sessions.
