Bodyhood Pilates

Bodyhood Pilates is an experience; you will not only feel what muscles should really feel like but also enjoy mobility and flexibility gains, not to mention the development of your heart and mind. Charleston Marquis is an unorthodox, free-spirited revolutionary and an effective coach, mentor, trainer and friend.

Dear Charleston, Bodyhood Pilates has been a real life-changer for me. When I started coming to you nearly 15 years ago, I had recurring back pain and frequent numbness in my legs. Nothing really helped me until I started doing Pilates training. Now I am 70 years old and I can walk as much as I like without getting back pains or numbness. Working with you is completely different from any other exercise classes because of the personal attention you give your students. As I continue to do Pilates, I find that not only my body but also my mind is getting healthier. Pilates helps to reduce tension, to refresh my mind and to improve my concentration. Altogether it provides what I need to cope with the stress of daily life.

In the two years of intense collaboration with Charleston, I was trained and sensitized by him in mindfulness, discernment and empathy to recognize habitual wrong posture and movement and to correct for a correct "healthy" posture and thus by "conscious", harmonious and calm movements "Attitude to become a new habit. With Charleston's guidance, I've been able to improve my posture so I can stand upright and stand upright. I can only recommend Pilates lessons with him! Bodyhood Pilates Studio is a place where you can learn something, but this studio is not just for learning but also for getting "different". Szilvia A.

Dear Charleston Thank you for your infinitely valuable work. You teach Pilates better than anyone else, but that does not mark you well enough. Because you go deep with your body work, in private lessons so deep that the line between body work and psychotherapy disappears. This will enable you to get people out of deep-seated, often pathogenic, movement and thought patterns. You do it daily with a lot of strength Authenticity Enthusiasm and patience, so the benefit for us students is enormous on a physical and mental level. Personally, you made visible through your absences for myself and for others, you have changed my life In admiration Aiga

Under the patient guidance of Charleston I learn a lot about my body my dynamics, my strengths and weaknesses. He is a master of his trade and recognizes with an immense presence right away the big and small connections that make it up to each one of them. So he picks everyone up from where he is at the time and one is surprised how well one is recognized. I would highly recommend Charleston and his work from personal experience especially around pregnancy, birth and regression! An investment that I can only recommend to pregnant women !!!

The goal for the customer to realize the state of bodyhood (feel good, look good, think good) is pursued by Charleston with great dedication. From the first to the last minute of the hour, every movement, every muscle tension, the inner and outer posture is observed, controlled and improved and one is led with infinite patience to unimaginable achievements. Whereby great value is placed on the inner attitude, the attainment of inner peace with simultaneous "présence". With admirable knowledge of the functional connections of the musculoskeletal system as well as the external and internal state of the body, he motivates with passion, revisiting the current situation every hour, transferring his enthusiasm to himself. I have never met such a 100 percent commitment and absolute existence of a teacher for his student. Many thanks Elizabeth P.
