The Pilates Equipment classes are carried out in small groups (up to four students) and include the use of Reformers, Wunda Chairs and Props.
It incorporates the latest fitness technology inspired and designed by Joseph Pilates.
At Balanze Pilates we use the certified BASI Systems equipment which combines contemporary aesthetics, finely crafted materials and ergonomic design that fully facilitate the precision and flow of movement.
The BASI Systems Reformer reinforces and improves the symmetry and stimulation of the muscles as the body is subjected to spring resistance. The Reformer offers flexible combinations and variations of mild and dynamic exercises for every fitness level.
The BASI Systems Wunda Chair allows for precision and flow in movement and it offers a range of motions that adapt to your needs.It helps exercise the whole body.
Pilates Equipment classes also use a variety of props such as balls, foam rollers, magic circles and baby arcs, specifically designed for exercises that help strengthen the abdomen, correct the spine alignment and control breathing.
Pilates Equipment “sculpts” the body, as the class aims to reduce local fat, increase flexibility and facilitate symmetrical development of the muscles of the whole body.
Pilates Mat
The Pilates Mat classes (up to five students) have been designed to stimulate the whole body and enhance stability and balance using different props.
It comprises ground exercises that are performed on a mat, using props such as balls, foam rollers, magic circles and baby arcs.
Pilates Mat helps correct your posture, stabilize your skeletal system, strengthen your muscles and relieve tension and anxiety through proper breathing.
The program focuses on the fluidity and accuracy of movements that respect the body and help alleviate chronic pain.
Pilates Mat is a unique Mind-Body workout method that allows for optimal mental and physical balance and well-being.
Aerial Yoga
Aerial yoga combines classical yoga with swing (up to four students).
The special soft cloth hanging from the roof like a hammock lets the body float freely in space. One of the main advantages of aerial yoga is its ability to unload the spine and untie the joints through stretching as well as through yoga exercises performed with the support of the hammock.
Aerial yoga contributes to relaxing the body by improving the oxygen flow to the brain and by stimulating the circulation of blood. It is a truly liberating experience that helps you discover the new possibilities of your body and improve its ability to perceive movement in space and to become aware of the muscles and their functions without visual contact (proprioception).
