Pilates with us
Unlike traditional strength training, in Pilates we do not only work with the large muscles. By consciously training the deep muscles in all layers, we become more mobile and stronger, gain better body image and avoid pain and stiffness in the back, neck and shoulders.
Many people get hooked on Pilates precisely because you quickly feel strong, flexible and tight, because any back problems disappear, because you get nice training pains in places you didn't know you had muscles... in addition, the exercises are fun, challenging and it feels like the lesson going fast! We work according to Stott Pilates® principles.
In short, this means that we work according to certain basic principles regarding breathing, back, pelvis, shoulder blades and neck and build up our programs so that they contain a conscious mix of exercises at the right level that build up the whole body. In depth. It also means that we work according to modern findings instead of stubbornly claiming that Pilates was optimal in all parts when it was created by Joseph Pilates in the 30s. It was a fantastic foundation he laid with a vision of a well-balanced, strong body in a harmonious soul. Stott Pilates® has taken Pilates further in close collaboration with modern research in exercise and health.
Pilates at level 1 with us is suitable for everyone. As you build strength and body control and learn the exercises, you can advance to level 2.
With us, we practice pilates on mats. To get increased stability, higher load and more challenge, we also use pilates equipment. We work with flexibands, pilates rings, weight balls, blocks and pilates rollers. We dare to say that we hold Lidingö's most well-equipped pilates classes. This naturally makes training both effective and fun.

Why course?
There is a big difference between taking a pilates or yoga course versus practicing open classes. In a course, you start at your level, as does the whole group. You develop together and the teacher has the opportunity to deepen the various areas included in a structured manner.
The teacher gets to know you and your needs and can adapt and modify exercises just for you. It gets personal. It also creates a sense of security in the group, which is a prerequisite for going deep, both in physical and mental exercises. That, in turn, is what makes it so great to come back each week and re-energize.
Many of our customers testify that a great value for them is that they have their "sacred time". If you take a course with a dedicated time per week, you don't want to miss it. It makes it easier to prioritize. You get the continuity that makes all the difference in the experience of well-being.
