Yoga Pilates Barre Reformer

Pilates is a holistic body workout to strengthen muscles, primarily pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles. It combines breathing, strength exercises, coordination and stretching in harmonious movements. Pilates is aimed at all those who appreciate targeted core training and powerful movements. Our courses are designed for every fitness level — from beginners to advanced. With a focus on posture and muscle strengthening, Pilates helps you to increase your physical strength and flexibility and to shape your body holistically.

Yoga doesn't take place on the outside, yoga does something to you, on the inside, that the outside cannot do. Yoga works on both levels: If you do something to straighten you up externally through the exercises, you also ensure the inner straightening at the same time. Body, mind and soul are firmly connected. After just the first few yoga classes, you will notice changes that can be felt in very different areas. Perhaps you have less headache or back pain due to relieved tension, or you are happier and more balanced due to the release of stress. Yoga makes you more aware of yourself: You get to know your limits better and how to maintain them and can thus be more mindful of yourself. The longer you practice yoga, the more you benefit from it in everyday life, so that you are often better prepared for challenges. Yoga brings us back to ourselves.

Reformer Pilates is a special form of Pilates that is performed on a device called a “reformer.” Through precise exercises on the reformer, we strengthen your deep muscles and promote your mobility — ideal for anyone looking for a demanding and effective full body workout. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, our reformer training adapts to your level and brings you to your personal goal.

If you have any health restrictions, you should check with your doctor before taking part in our Pilates or yoga classes. It is possible that your doctor will advise you against individual exercises. So that our well-trained teachers can offer you suitable alternatives for the exercises, it is important that we talk about your limitations together. As with every participant, you should pay particular attention to yourself.

For all of our classes — yoga, pilates, reformers and barre — there are a few basic rules of conduct to ensure a pleasant atmosphere. Please be there at least 5-10 minutes before the course starts to prepare in peace and quiet and start the course undisturbed. Switch your phone off during class or into flight mode to avoid distractions. Be respectful of the other participants and trainers, as everyone is here to relax and improve. Also pay attention to personal hygiene and clean the mats and equipment used after the course (disinfectants are available). If you are late or have to leave early, please do so quietly without disrupting the course. If you have any health problems or injuries, inform the trainers before the start of the course so that they can take appropriate consideration.

For our courses, we recommend comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Yoga and Pilates are usually practiced barefoot, so you don't need any special shoes. We provide yoga mats, but you can also bring your own mat. It is also useful to bring a towel.

We offer a wide range of classes, including yoga, pilates, and barre. From February 2025, we will be expanding our offering to include Reformer Pilates. You can find our entire current range of courses in our course schedule on the website or app.
