Marijans Place - Yoga & Pilates

this is really a special place, where to take care of oneself completely, the body together with the mind. Marijan is very professional and attentive, makes you feel welcomed and listened to. Your body and your mind will thank you for meeting him. Even the environment is very nice and more than in a gym you feel in a spiritual place. Moreover, given that I am a foreigner and I still do not speak German well, Marijan immediately accepted and listened to me in English! I can only advise! Thanks Marijan!

Best Pilates Studio in Cologne! I had back pain and generally my posture was suboptimal. Marijan's training is holistic and helped me walk more upright again and not have any pain. The training is a well thought-out alternation between tension and relaxation in the exercises. This means that young people and fitter older people can easily take part in the training. With his pleasant, powerful voice, Marijan paces the whole group. This makes it easy to maintain motivation. He also combines the exercises with small philosophical elements. Absolute recommendation!

At Marijan you receive excellent personal training, which challenges you very much, but strengthens the whole body in a targeted and holistic manner. After his classes, the body feels relaxed and the mind feels free. I always go home happy and strengthened. Marijan is a very personable and motivating trainer. I can only recommend everyone to try it out for themselves.

I've been going to Marijan's Pilates for a good 6 years and haven't regretted it for a day! The courses are very well structured, he teaches the exercises very well and, above all, with a great, pleasant voice (particularly important to me). Marijan manages to calm my “monkey mind” during this class. I am completely with myself, there is peace in my head and my whole body is completely moved. I always go home relaxed and happy afterwards.

I don't even know how many years I've been going to Marijan - but I know that I can really recommend both the yoga classes and the Pilates classes. It's really tiring at times and it's different than what you might be familiar with elsewhere. And that's exactly what makes Marijan's courses special for me. He simply works differently than other yoga/pilates teachers I know. More profound, more thoughtful, more holistic, more serious. After my very first yoga class with him, I basically had a whole-body soreness the next day, even though I had been doing yoga for several years ;-). This showed me that all muscles were addressed in this lesson. I absolutely feel better after every training session, both physically and mentally, and I'm always happy to have overcome my weaker self and went to training instead of drinking aperitifs in the street café on Venloer ;-).

I woke up with back pain, ISG, I know it happens again and again. This time it was particularly bad, I could only walk, stand...everything with pain. I then went to Marijan's Pilates training, which was very pleasant and during the afternoon the pain went away. I am very grateful for that. All in all, you always have a holistic, well thought-out, challenging training session in an aesthetic atmosphere, highly recommended!

Marijan gives really good Pilates courses, for me no comparison to what is usually offered in fitness studios. The groups are small and the course units last a little longer than usual. Marijan guides well, corrects and motivates. I "grow" a centimeter in the course because I leave the course straighter and stronger than when I arrived. Everyone can take part in their level and will soon find out how good it is for their body to work hard.

Great yoga and pilates teacher. The lessons are educational, holistic, powerful and beneficial for the body. The studio is small but nice. 6-10 participants per unit ensure that Marijan can respond individually to each individual. Clear recommendation!

Great little pilates and yoga studio in a hidden beautiful backyard in the middle of Ehrenfeld. Marijan is an incredibly good teacher who trains body, mind and soul with his varied lessons and his positive nature.
