\"In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference, and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body\".<\/p>

That\u2019s what Joseph Pilates (1883-1976) said about the method he developed, which he originally called Contrology. And it\u2019s true.<\/p>

Pilates works, and it works fast.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Method - not to be confused with Reformer workouts<\/strong><\/p>

Pilates is a comprehensive movement method that goes far beyond what is often sold under the name today. I teach the Pilates method on all studio apparatus and on the mat. As a Balanced Body and The Pilates Standard certified instructor, I bring a thorough, full-scope training to every session.<\/p>

Because the term \"Pilates\" is not protected, anyone can call themselves a Pilates instructor \u2014 regardless of their training or qualifications. My membership in the Pilates Association Austria is therefore the only reliable mark of quality: it guarantees a recognised training standard and commits me to continuing education every year.<\/p>

Pilates strengthens and lengthens the entire body, with a particular focus on the core, back, and pelvic floor. Unlike gym training, Pilates targets not only the large muscle groups but also the many smaller, stabilising muscles that support the spine. You develop long, strong, active muscles, better posture, and greater mobility \u2014 at any age.<\/p>

How I teach<\/strong><\/p>

At my studio in Vienna, right by the Opera, I teach a maximum of three people at a time \u2014 on the Reformer, Chair, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, and all other classical Pilates apparatus, as well as on the mat. That level of attention makes all the difference: I see what you need and work with you directly.<\/p>

I also teach mat Pilates live online in small groups via Zoom - with the same personal approach as in the studio.<\/p>

For those who prefer to train flexibly and independently of fixed class times, my video platform offers an extensive library of Pilates and stretching videos \u2014 available whenever you are.<\/p>

Funding<\/strong><\/p>

My training courses are recognised by the SVS \u2014 you can use your \u2018Gesundheitshunderter\u2019 towards them.<\/p>

What my clients say<\/strong><\/p>

Stronger, more mobile, pain-free, better posture - these are the changes my clients tell me about most. Many had been dealing with discomfort for years. Others discovered a genuine enjoyment of movement through Pilates for the very first time.<\/p>

I promise you: if you train with me regularly, you will feel happier in your body and develop more body awareness.<\/p>
