Meet The Founder
I'm Eynat, and Pilates has been a part of my life for almost two decades now.
Over the years, my love for sports has shaped my approach to movement and well-being.
In 2019, I moved to Ericeira and saw an opportunity to introduce a different kind of Pilates experience, one that blends classical Pilates with the energy and dynamism of contemporary fitness.
After training extensively in all Pilates apparatus and rehabilitation techniques, I wanted to create something new in Ericeira, a space where the local community could come together, not just to strengthen their bodies but also to reconnect with themselves.
When I opened Ericeira Pilates, it was the first of its kind in the area, bringing group Pilates classes that combine strength, balance, and a more upbeat, athletic approach to the practice.
My focus is on offering small, intimate classes where every student gets the attention they need, this way, I can work with clients of all levels.
Whether you're pre/post-pregnancy, recovering from injury, or looking to enhance your athletic performance. What makes our studio special is the sense of community we've built; it's a place where people can take an hour to focus on themselves, enjoy good company, and relax in the garden after class.
I can't wait to welcome you to the studio, where Pilates is more than a workout; it's a way of life.
See you on the reformer!
"Change Happens through Movement and Movement Heals"
Joseph Pilates
What Is Pilates
Pilates is a holistic exercise system developed by Joseph Pilates, encompassing more than 500 exercises designed to strengthen and balance the body through precise, controlled movements.
The practice involves both mat-based and equipment-assisted exercises, such as those using the Reformer, and focuses on the core muscles, which include the abdomen, lower back, and hips.
Pilates is unique because it simultaneously emphasizes strength, flexibility, mobility, and mindfulness, promoting an overall sense of well-being and balance.
Benefits of Pilates:
The core benefits of Pilates extend beyond physical fitness.
Through regular practice, Pilates helps improve:
-
Core Strength: A strong core provides stability and support for the entire body, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing overall posture.
-
Flexibility and Mobility: The dynamic stretching and strengthening movements increase the range of motion and improve joint health.
-
Balance and Coordination: Pilates movements train the body to perform efficiently, improving balance and coordination in everyday activities.
-
Posture: By engaging the deep muscles along the spine, Pilates encourages proper alignment and helps correct muscle imbalances.
-
Breathing and Organ Function: Pilates emphasizes controlled breathing techniques, which enhance lung capacity and support the function of internal organs.
Developing Body Awareness
One of the key elements of Pilates is the development of body awareness, which involves the mindful connection between your mind and muscles. The slow, deliberate nature of Pilates allows you to control even the smallest movements, helping you engage deep stabilizing muscles. Over time, this enhances coordination and teaches you how to use your body more efficiently, from the inside out.
Pilates for Rehabilitation
Pilates is an excellent method for rehabilitation, particularly for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries, including post-pregnancy recovery. The low-impact nature of the exercises makes it safe for those with joint or mobility issues. The practice can be modified to suit the needs of each individual, providing gentle yet effective support as you rebuild strength, improve range of motion, and correct muscle imbalances.
Enhancing Athletic Performance
For athletes and sports enthusiasts, Pilates offers tremendous benefits. Its emphasis on core strength, flexibility, and balance directly translates to enhanced athletic performance. Whether you are a runner, swimmer, dancer, or martial artist, Pilates can help improve your movement efficiency, reduce the risk of injury, and boost overall stamina and strength.
Accessible to Everyone
Pilates is for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. From teenagers looking to build strength and flexibility, to elderly individuals seeking improved mobility and balance, to post-pregnancy recovery, Pilates can be adapted for all needs. With the right instructor, Pilates becomes a powerful tool for improving physical and mental health, offering a safe and supportive way to achieve fitness goals and enhance daily living.
In the Words of Joseph Pilates:
“In 10 sessions, you’ll feel better, in 20 sessions, you’ll look better, and in 30 sessions, you’ll have a completely new body.”
This famous quote from Joseph Pilates encapsulates the transformative power of the practice when done consistently under the guidance of a skilled instructor.
At Ericeira Pilates, we strive to deliver the true essence of Pilates, helping our clients achieve their goals, improve their health, and enhance their quality of life.
