Pilates Academy

Pilates Academy is a modern dedicated center where PILATES and CARDIOLATES® are offered as means to enhance physical wellness and health.Here, the application of PILATES principles helps increasing the corporal awareness and perception, and brings to experience the results of a clever and customized physical training throughout the complete discipline’s workout.

At Pilates Academy, CARDIOLATES® classes integrate the benefits of PILATES exercise with a unique aerobic training on rebounders, for the first time in the Middle East.If need be, professional NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE is provided as dietary hygiene is a major component of health and wellbeing.

As part of the Pilates Academy International (P.A.I.) School of New York, Pilates Academy also offers comprehensive PILATES Professional Training and Workshops, and is the first and only CARDIOLATES® School in the Arab countries.

Pilates is a thoughtful mind-body system of exercise that requires attention to detail, form and alignment. Giving particular attention to core strengthening, Pilates movements are not intended to be conducted at an aerobic pace. Pilates tones muscles very effectively, but a cardiovascular regime is necessary to burn unwanted fat.

Because rebounding involves an unstable surface – a buoyant mat – CARDIOLATES® requires dynamic stability. This naturally strengthens the core while achieving a cardio regime that upheld, and even reinforced, alignment principles in upright posture.

Existing rebounding programs exist, but attention to alignment is missing. Since CARDIOLATES® integrates rebounding with alignment principles, one can burn fat while improving alignment and posture. Other CARDIOLATES® benefits include increased agility, coordination, balance and proprioception.
