Best Pilates Activities Pregnant In Berlin Near Me

4worldlovers: A cozy, neighbourhood studio in Berlin Mitte offering small-group machine sessions (reformer & chair), group mat classes, ELDOA & myofascial stretching technique, personal training and more.

We work with the body in front of us and use the pilates method along with other modalities to help people reach their goals and/or rehabilitate. We are open to all bodies, genders, ages and abilities from athlete to beginner.

Creative new flows, drills, and sequences to enhance proprioception and functional mobility

Small- group sessions allow for hands-on attention and an efficient, concentrated practice. Through a consistent pilates practice, you can develop your inner core strength, while achieving flexibility and increased body awareness.

Group classes are conducted in German or English depending on participants and instructor.

The Base Pilates is an intimate studio dedicated to personal training and wellness. We create individualised pilates programs for a healthy body and focused mind. I want the hour you've dedicated to training to get you moving and make you feel your best. We see clients as individuals and focus on achieving goals- whether those are strengthening, mobility gains, pain-management or aesthetic.

All trainers at the studio are certified but the studio does not embrace a strictly contemporary or classical label. We draw on our experience, knowledge of other modalities and continue questioning best-practices in order to provide optimal instruction for the client in front of us. ​

Located in a former bunker in the quiet courtyard of a historic Altbau in Mitte, The Base Pilates is equipped with two professional reformers, two chairs, a tower and all the balls, magic circles, bands and weights needed to make the most out of your session.

I offer morning, lunchtime and evening classes. Personal sessions can also be arranged by appointment.

Developed nearly a century ago, Pilates' innovative method is more relevant today than ever before in neutralising sedentary habits and stressful lifestyles. Exercises are inspired by the original Pilates principles of concentration, breath, control, precision, center and flow.

Described by Joseph Pilates as "the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit", Pilates activates your mental focus and utilises breath awareness to engage the muscles of the spine, diaphragm, abdominals and pelvic floor. The goal of a pilates practice is to increase overall strength, ease of movement and mobility.

Pilates exercises can be modified and adapted making them well-suited for all ages and fitness abilities.

I first discovered Pilates in 1996 while training to be a professional ballet dancer in Los Angeles. Back then, the exercises complemented the hours of strenuous training I put my body through day after day.

15 years later in Berlin, I reincorporated the practice into my life to counteract the stress of working motherhood and to restore strength and movement following a neck injury. After years without regular, intensive training, my ballet body had become weaker and less stable. To address my own physical issues, I began exploring the Pilates method and incorporating my own exercises to form my signature Pilates Wakeshop workout; I eventually began holding private classes and training.

In 2015 I began my teacher certification with BASI Pilates (Body Arts and Sciences International) and completed my 600-hour comprehensive training program to become certified in mat and all apparatus of the Pilates Method. In 2022 I also became a certified ELDOA practicioner.

My goal as a teacher and owner of The Base Pilates is to help my clients feel stronger, more supple and more comfortable in their bodies in a focused, connected and non-judgemental practice space. I believe the ability to move freely in your body is key to good health and well-being.

“As a child I remember always being mesmerised by the human body’s form and function. This led me first to art school and then to professional dancing before diving into Pilates. Teaching for me is a great opportunity to share my experience with others, to constantly learn from my students and to be able to offer a valuable service to our community.”

Berliner Pilates is the only studio in the German capital which provides certification courses and workshops for instructors in the STOTT PILATES method.

Been with Deborah for 8 years now and can only recommend her classes very highly! She is a pro

4worldlovers: At the end of the past year, I realised that there comes a point where it becomes necessary to take a step where what we feel can really materialise. Each step is linked to a story in our life, which is a collection of stories. Our inner life can come closer to our outer life if we dare. It is with this thought of mine that I wish this new year to make us more daring in the sign of the heart, of love as a universal subject/object. A love that pushes us forward and that does not make us repeat mental mistakes. A love that affects everyone, because others are just as important as we are. A love that is real and royal, with integrity, that teaches us how to live and choose, that guides us to the gates of a new era, in which united, in peace, in equality, in tolerance and respect for everything around us we could truly recognise our healthy and great humanity.

One of my priority during my classes is to communicate the importance of Asanas (yoga postures), as well as the importance of feeling the body and its energy flow. Listen the breath and its own rhythm through the contact between the body and the ground.

Being a Yoga Teacher, for me, also means to respect the uniqueness of every person, both body and sensations.

I love to share my personal interpretation of Yoga Philosophy, especially with absolute beginners.

I'm a Traveller and an Artist, with a philosphy of life, which I received from my experiences and the Yoga studies. Since 2010 I am working with Ayurveda and Yoga.More...
