NEW TO STUDIO PILATES?
Start with BAZDAM
Pilates, based on its training philosophy and the way the movements are performed, is divided into two categories: Traditional and Contemporary. Traditional Pilates is based on a fixed set of classic exercises designed by Joseph Pilates. These movements are predetermined and specific, with an emphasis on performing them correctly and precisely, as well as on consistency and repetition. They are rarely changed. What we practice at Bazdam is Contemporary Pilates, which combines Joseph Pilates’ original methods with new findings from biomechanics, science, and movement studies, and is continually updated. This training program can be adapted for individuals with different physical conditions, making it suitable for everyone — young and old, at any fitness level, as well as for those with structural issues or sports-related injuries. Our main focus at Bazdam is the specialized teaching of Pilates, which is why all Bazdam instructors have Pilates certifications and extensive experience in this field. They also hold certificates in Pilates equipment training, and some have international certifications in Pilates mat and equipment training as well. Since Pilates instruction and movement execution require a high level of precision and attention to detail, Bazdam classes are held in small groups so that the instructor can maintain the highest level of control and supervision over each student. This also allows students to gain the maximum benefit from their time in class. All classes at Bazdam are 55 minutes long.
Mat Pilates
The class is held online. It can be either private or group-based. (The day and time of group classes are fixed, while private classes are flexible.) It is suitable for all fitness levels, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced, with no restriction. (For individuals with specific injuries who need corrective exercises, a private mat class is recommended.) Equipment that may be used in the class includes: resistance band and Pilates ball, foam roller, Pilates ring, loop band, and stability ball. The class can be conducted in English.
Reformer Pilates
The class is held in person and in groups of three. (The day and time of the group class are fixed during the week.) Classes are offered at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. (Participation in group classes requires a relatively healthy physical condition. If it is determined that a person does not meet the necessary conditions for attending a group class, we reserve the right to decline registration for this type of class.) In some intermediate and advanced sessions, a cardio class is held. (Jump board) Special attention is given to each person’s different abilities and strength, and the type of movement is modified and adjusted when needed.
Private Classes
In private classes, four pieces of equipment are used: Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel Ladder. During a session, the instructor may use one or more of these devices depending on the planned program. Private classes are suitable for everyone. In particular, individuals with physical, structural, or sports-related injuries, and therefore needing special attention and corrective exercises, can benefit from this class. Those interested in performing advanced or show-style movements can also attend this class. However, they should note that the prerequisite for performing such movements is completing at least one private course of 8 sessions.
Single Sessions
For those who prefer flexibility over a fixed schedule, our single session drop-in option is ideal. You can book your preferred time slot on a weekly or daily basis, depending on available class capacity. This allows you to attend any of our classes without a long-term commitment. Please note that for advanced-level single sessions, prior approval from an instructor is required to ensure you have the necessary foundation."To ensure your safety and a rewarding experience in our advanced sessions, a quick chat with one of our instructors for pre-approval is recommended."
