the mastery of your mind over the complete control of your body" -Joseph Pilates

What is Classical Pilates

Classical Pilates is the purist version of 'Contrology'. It focuses on an intensive understanding of the Human musculoskeletal system to achieve a personalized, full body and mind workout without strain' or injury, just the way Joseph Pilates had taught it.

When Joseph Pilates developed his low intensity exercise regime, he called it 'Contrology'.

Why Classical Pilates?

Joseph Pilates' traditional method should be honored because it works.

Classical Pilates instructors are rigorously trained to work with every level of fitness, body type, age and musculoskeletal condition. They undergo several years of instruction, not just in terms of technique but also in-depth understanding of human anatomy, and are trained to impart this understanding to their students.

Utilizing specialized apparatus, the method works by toning muscles as well as balancing muscular force at the joint level.
It promotes new neuromuscular patterns, heightened body awareness, and more precise coordination.
Helps prevent injury and reduce chronic pain all together.

Client Testimonials

When I signed up for the private sessions with Pilates for Wellbeing, nothing prepared me for the high level of expertise, commitment and dedication that Kavita brings to every lesson. This is a ‘two-way mirror’ whereby the client also gives his or her best with results that soon become apparent. This is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ concept, but a tailor-made course for each person. Issues like old injuries and faulty posture are addressed and, after two months of regular practice, I can not only see and feel the benefits, but am gratified by constantly improving performance.
Sonya Domergue
My friends and I have been doing Pilates group classes with Kavita for close to a year now. The attention offered to each of us is personalized. My friends and I have different abilities but also different postural problems like inflexible spine, tight shoulders etc. Kavita is amazing at watching us closely, correcting our movements and ensuring the effectiveness of each exercise. And for me that’s the most important thing that differentiates an instructor who really cares from an instructor who wishes to just go through the exercises.
Sonia Veysey
I did pilates mat training with Kavita for two years and I’m very pleased with the results. I did lose a bit of weight but, more importantly, I lost inches in all the right places. I have slimmer arms and a nice flat stomach. My husband is actually jealous and wants to start pilates too. I also haven’t experienced any back issues since I started training, I can tell my back is well supported by my core muscles now. The best part is I started seeing results very soon after I started training. It was a bit hard at first but the effort was well worth it and it became easier after a few sessions. I would recommend pilates to anyone wanting to keep fit while juggling a busy schedule.
Lucie Fonseca
As an over 50, I was looking for an exercise regime that was less impactful on my creaking joints and Pilates has exceeded my expectations. I have also noticed a beneficial impact on my golf swing. Working with a well- qualified and experienced instructor like Kavita offers me a high level of confidence and this makes such a big difference.
Gary Bryne
When my friends convinced me to join their Pilates class last year I was skeptical. I always thought Pilates was not for me and that I needed more cardio-fitness to release my energy. I would never have thought that after only a few sessions I could feel so different: more aware of my body, more balanced and stronger. My work-related tension in my neck and shoulders also improved drastically. Kavita’s passion for Pilates comes through in her classes. She does a fabulous job at identifying wrong movements, correcting your postures individually to ensure a successful and safe workout. She is great at motivating you to push your limits. We work hard, but also have lots of fun, feeling really more confident class after class.
Valerie Battistella
Kavita is the best pilates teacher that I have been to. She maintains a good rhythm in her class, she very quickly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of her students and does not hesitate to correct us for our benefits! Thanks to Pilates, I’ve discovered a good mental and physical being and my back problems have disappeared.
