During the private class on Pilates equipment, the trainer focuses directly on your needs, analyzing the unique aspects of your body and tailoring exercises specifically for you to achieve the fastest and most effective results. Since the session is one-on-one, the instructor can fully concentrate on you, providing precise corrections and advice, not only improving your exercise technique and safety but also teaching you to feel your body more intricately and deeply.

REFORMER INTRO

REFORMER EQUIPMENT

Join our specially designed Pilates Reformer Intro class at PiYo Studio in Riga and discover the unique Pilates Reformer equipment.

What is a Pilates Reformer? A Pilates Reformer is a unique piece of equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. It uses springs to add extra intensity to Pilates exercises while also ensuring precise control over each movement. As a result, you can achieve faster and more effective outcomes compared to mat exercises.

Class Concept:

• Classes are conducted in small groups of up to seven people, allowing for personalized attention for each participant.
• Each participant will have their own Pilates Reformer machine to exercise on.
• The class engages all muscle groups. As you move your arms or legs, your deep abdominal, pelvic, and back muscles—collectively forming your body's core—will also be activated.
• The instructor will closely monitor each participant's form and technique, teaching you not only the correct way to perform each exercise but also how to engage each muscle involved.

Class Benefits:

• Introduction to the principles and safety guidelines of using a Pilates Reformer.
• Hands-on demonstrations and instructions for proper exercise execution.
• Mastery of correct breathing techniques while using the Pilates Reformer.
• Strengthening of deep and postural muscles, which will improve your posture, relieve shoulder and neck tension, and potentially reduce back pain.
• Balancing your body's fascial lines, which contributes to more aesthetically pleasing body contours.
• Achieving faster results compared to traditional Pilates mat classes.
• This class will teach you to better understand your body, laying the foundation for more conscious and effective self-improvement, both physically and mentally.

OPEN FLOOR PILATES

REFORMER, CADILLAC, SPINE CORRECTOR, CHAIR, LEADER BARREL.

PIYO Studio has created a unique Pilates training system with added resistance, using traditional Pilates equipment. This is the same equipment used by world celebrities like Madonna and Sylvester Stallone, as well as high-level athletes to improve their sports performance.

Exercising on Pilates equipment will yield faster results than exercising on a mat. You'll notice your body working more efficiently, and progress will be evident after just three sessions.

MAIN BENEFITS:

• Under the guidance of an experienced trainer, the risk of injury is virtually nonexistent.
• Faster results – your body will become stronger and you'll achieve a slender physique more quickly.
• You'll develop a strong core, allowing you to work more efficiently and safely.
• Using individually adjustable resistance, you'll develop an attractive muscle definition.
• The equipment allows for better control in developing movement coordination and flexibility, thus achieving faster results.
• Therapeutic effects – improved body control and effective movement will help strengthen all deep and postural muscles, thereby improving posture and correcting body asymmetry (like a crooked back), as well as relieving back pain and shoulder tension.
• Working against resistance on Pilates equipment will increase bone density, which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis (very important for people with fragile bones and older individuals as bone density decreases with age).
• On Pilates equipment, you'll be able to perform exercises that you couldn't do on a mat; the class will be conducted in a small group (maximum of 5 people), allowing for individual attention to each person, while monitoring the quality of movement techniques. Therefore, clients of various fitness levels can attend the class, even those who have never attended such a class before.

HATHA YOGA

IN FLOW

Flowing Hatha Yoga is a way to explore yoga from the ground up. It's not just about executing physical poses but also involves mental and self-purification practices. Hatha Yoga teaches you to become calmer, stronger, and more confident. It is the oldest form of physical yoga and was the first to combine the spiritual with the physical aspect.

It's important to feel how to technically execute each pose correctly and how to hold it. The poses are performed at a calm, gentle pace to avoid overestimating your abilities; therefore, everything in the class should be done consciously. A slow but strong and flowing transition from one pose to another will help you feel your body from the tips of your toes to the highest point of your head.

Class Structure:

• Introduction: We'll tune into our natural breath, not controlling but observing it. This breathing technique helps calm the mind.
• Middle: Execution of flowing physical poses (asanas).
• Conclusion: Relaxation, where the body is relaxed and tensions are released.

Hatha Yoga classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced yoga practitioners. The instructor will provide detailed explanations, guide, and adapt the pose execution techniques to each client's level of preparedness.

Flowing Hatha Yoga will help:

• Improve flexibility: Hatha Yoga focuses on stretching and holding poses, which helps increase the elasticity of muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.
• Train muscles and create a slender body outline: Performing Hatha Yoga poses engages all major muscle groups, promoting both superficial and deep muscle strengthening.
• Improve balance and posture: Hatha Yoga practice includes balance training, and pose holding with transitions between them, which also helps improve posture.
• Increase mental focus: Practicing Hatha Yoga requires focus on yourself and your body, which helps improve concentration and mental awareness, as well as calm the mind and stabilize the nervous system.
• Boost energy levels: Hatha Yoga includes breathing exercises and focused movement elements that can help increase overall energy levels and reduce fatigue. Combined with proper nutrition, it can also help you lose excess weight.
• Free yourself from emotional and physical burdens.
