The R Studio

Hands-on guidance in Pilates is not just a detail; it’s a powerful teaching tool!

With skilled, intentional touch, the instructor helps you find better alignment, activate the right muscles (especially the deep core) and move more safely and efficiently.

Often, what is hard to understand in words becomes clear through touch.

Why hands-on cueing matters:
•⁠ ⁠Improves posture
•⁠ ⁠Improves exercise safety
•⁠ ⁠Helps you feel and activate the correct muscles
•⁠ ⁠Prevents bad habits
•⁠ ⁠Speeds up learning
•⁠ ⁠Strengthens the mind-body connection
•⁠ ⁠Allows exercises to be adapted to your body’s needs

This is also one of the reasons we work with small groups in our studio, so every client receives proper, safe, and effective guidance and individual attention🙏🏻

Good hands-on guidance builds awareness not dependence.
The goal is always to help you understand your body better and move with confidence on your own🫶🏻

A good start of the day and a good start of the week!

Will we see you in the studio too?

Vrolijk Pasen!

One of the first things you’ll hear when you are doing a real Pilates class, right after breathing, is:
“Find your C-curve”

The C-curve is a rounded spinal shape created by scooping the abdominals inward and upward.

How to find your C-curve:
Sit tall → draw the navel inward → gently round the spine from lower back to head → keep shoulders relaxed and away from the ears.

Why we practice the C-curve:
• Strengthens the deep “corset” muscles of the core
• Supports and protects the spine and lower back
• Improves spinal control and mobility by moving the spine segment by segment
• Builds awareness of pelvic alignment

Important: the C-curve is active and controlled — not a slouch and not a hinge.
If you have specific spinal conditions (like disc issues or osteoporosis), this movement may need adjustments.

C you soon 😉
