REFORMER EQUIPMENT
Join our specially designed Pilates Reformer Intro class at PiYo Studio in Riga and discover the unique Pilates Reformer equipment.
What is a Pilates Reformer? A Pilates Reformer is a unique piece of equipment developed by Joseph Pilates.

Class Benefits:

OPEN FLOOR PILATES
PILATES EQUIPMENT
PIYO Studio has created a unique Pilates training system with added resistance, using traditional Pilates equipment. This is the same equipment used by world celebrities like Madonna and Sylvester Stallone, as well as high-level athletes to improve their sports performance.
Exercising on Pilates equipment will yield faster results than exercising on a mat. You'll notice your body working more efficiently, and progress will be evident after just three sessions.
MAIN BENEFITS:
- Under the guidance of an experienced trainer, the risk of injury is virtually nonexistent.
- Faster results – your body will become stronger and you'll achieve a slender physique more quickly.
- You'll develop a strong core, allowing you to work more efficiently and safely.
- Using individually adjustable resistance, you'll develop an attractive muscle definition.
- The equipment allows for better control in developing movement coordination and flexibility, thus achieving faster results.
- Therapeutic effects – improved body control and effective movement will help strengthen all deep and postural muscles, thereby improving posture and correcting body asymmetry (like a crooked back), as well as relieving back pain and shoulder tension.
- Working against resistance on Pilates equipment will increase bone density, which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis (very important for people with fragile bones and older individuals as bone density decreases with age).
- On Pilates equipment, you'll be able to perform exercises that you couldn't do on a mat; the class will be conducted in a small group (maximum of 5 people), allowing for individual attention to each person, while monitoring the quality of movement techniques. Therefore, clients of various fitness levels can attend the class, even those who have never attended such a class before.

HATHA YOGA
IN FLOW
Flowing Hatha Yoga is a way to explore yoga from the ground up. It's not just about executing physical poses but also involves mental and self-purification practices. Hatha Yoga teaches you to become calmer, stronger, and more confident. It is the oldest form of physical yoga and was the first to combine the spiritual with the physical aspect.
It's important to feel how to technically execute each pose correctly and how to hold it. The poses are performed at a calm, gentle pace to avoid overestimating your abilities; therefore, everything in the class should be done consciously. A slow but strong and flowing transition from one pose to another will help you feel your body from the tips of your toes to the highest point of your head.
Class Structure:
- Introduction: We'll tune into our natural breath, not controlling but observing it. This breathing technique helps calm the mind.
- Middle: Execution of flowing physical poses (asanas).
- Conclusion: Relaxation, where the body is relaxed and tensions are released.
Hatha Yoga classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced yoga practitioners. The instructor will provide detailed explanations, guide, and adapt the pose execution techniques to each client's level of preparedness.
Flowing Hatha Yoga will help:
- Improve flexibility: Hatha Yoga focuses on stretching and holding poses, which helps increase the elasticity of muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.
- Train muscles and create a slender body outline: Performing Hatha Yoga poses engages all major muscle groups, promoting both superficial and deep muscle strengthening.
- Improve balance and posture: Hatha Yoga practice includes balance training, and pose holding with transitions between them, which also helps improve posture.
- Increase mental focus: Practicing Hatha Yoga requires focus on yourself and your body, which helps improve concentration and mental awareness, as well as calm the mind and stabilize the nervous system.
- Boost energy levels: Hatha Yoga includes breathing exercises and focused movement elements that can help increase overall energy levels and reduce fatigue. Combined with proper nutrition, it can also help you lose excess weight.
- Free yourself from emotional and physical burdens.
