‘O2pilatesyoga’ is a private studio in the center of Bergen offering widest spectrum of small group and private Pilates classes. Studio is offering not only Reformer but also Pilates Chair, Tower, Arc Barrels and Matwork classes. So that practitioners can explore pilates and build their knowledge and practice in the most advanced way.
It’s not a mainstream studio as you won’t find flashy led lights, large mirrors or load music that disturbs the mind, psyche and sensory organs making it hard to draw your attention and energy inwards. Pilates should be practiced by tuning in, centering your mind around your breath and moving from the inside trust rather than looking for outward validation.
Pilates improves muscle endurance, joint mobility, range of motion, dynamic stability and flexibility, body awareness, helps to move more efficiently and with ease. It strenghtens the body from the inside out focusing on engaging deep front line throughout the movements, thus improving stability and creating better posture and alignment. Joseph Pilates believed posture was at the root of good health. When there is a misalignment or blockage in the spine, organs and related tissue feel the effects.
From better breathing and increased circulation, to more confidence and injury prevention, pilates movements are all about quality, not quantity. You will feel positive changes in your body within weeks of attending pilates classes.
