Private Rehabilitative Session

Protocol

- Cueing Style: Reliance on rhythmic verbal cues and counting rather than manual manipulation.
- Tempo: Slow, deliberate pacing focused on control rather than cardio speed to protect joints.
About Rehabilitative Pilates
Why I Teach Rehabilitative Pilates
I know what it’s like to feel stuck because of pain or injury. My sessions are all about helping you move better, feel stronger, and actually trust your body again. No fluff - just real, practical movement that’s gentle but powerful.
What Makes This Different
Pilates isn’t just stretching or easy moves. It started as rehab for injured soldiers, so it’s tough in its own way. We keep things low-impact, which means your joints get a break, but your muscles still work hard. Low impact doesn’t mean less results - it means we’re smart about how we train.
How I Work With You
- Every plan is built for your body. I look at your injury, posture, and daily habits before we start.
- I teach you to control your movements with your mind. You’ll notice new sensations - like, ‘mere body me sensations hote hai’ (I feel sensations in my body) - and that’s your body learning to move right.
- I’m certified in working with injuries and special populations, so I know how to keep things safe and effective.
Who This Is For
If you’re recovering from an injury, coming back after surgery, dealing with chronic pain (especially back pain), stuck at a desk all day, or want safe prenatal Pilates, this is for you.
What You Get
- Less pain, more strength
- Better mobility and flexibility
- Improved posture
- Confidence in your movement
Equipment
We use Merrithew gear like the Reformer and Cadillac. They’re not scary - just tools to help you move safely and get stronger.

My Story
I always wanted a studio where Pilates feels like family. Now, when I walk in, that’s exactly what it is. I get to teach, laugh, and watch people get stronger, from celebs like Karisma Kapoor to athletes coming back from injuries. Each person, every win - it’s personal for me. This place is my heart, not just a business. If you show up, we celebrate you. Health isn’t just fitness, it’s freedom to move and feel alive.
My Work
Stott Pilates classes and private sessions - From Reformer to Stability Chair, I teach all. Group and one-on-one, all levels welcome.
Injury rehab, including ACL recovery - We help athletes and anyone healing up - sessions tailored for safe strength and movement.
Mindful movement, not just stretching - Pilates here is about control, deep strength, and connecting mind to muscle. It’s therapy for your soul.
Pilates for desk-job posture - If you sit all day, I’ll help you fix that hunched back. Sessions made for real life bodies.
Quality over quantity, always - Slow, controlled moves - no rushing. Shaky legs? Good sign. Progress, not perfection.
