I care about helping you move freely so you can actually enjoy your life - running around with your kids, tackling stairs, or just living without constant pain. ### How I Work I use Pilates for injury recovery and to make your body stronger where it counts. My focus is always on functional movement for knee pain and back aches, but honestly, it's about the full body. If you’re dealing with nagging pain, just had surgery, or want to move better for years to come, my approach is practical and sustainable. - Low-impact, joint-friendly workouts - Strengthen glutes, quads, hamstrings, and especially your core - Focus on quality, not just reps - body awareness is everything - Suitable for anyone: runners, desk job folks, post-surgery patients, or just if you want your body to last ### What To Expect Lot of real talk and no quick fixes. If you stick with it, you’ll notice less pain and more confidence in your movement. My people have gone from struggling with basic stuff to climbing 3500+ steps pain-free. Humko bhi celebration chahiye na? (We deserve a celebration too, right?) ### The Results - Chronic back pain?

Been a Pilates coach since 2011, and honestly, fitness for me is about feeling good, not just looking good. My tribe – my Pilates gang – they mean the world, and yes, we train hard but also sneak in those lunch outings. Celebration toh mangta hai! (Celebration is a must!) I’m a mom, a wife, and I keep it real – struggles and all. I learn, mess up, try again. Even took a solo trip to Greece! This is my passion, not just a job. ### My work - **Group & Personal Pilates Training**: I teach Mat Pilates for beginners and Reformer Pilates classes, plus HIIT, Functional Training, and Yoga. - **Specialised Workshops**: I run knee strengthening workshops and sessions for back care. Also do corporate wellness Pilates. - **My Approach**: Fitness is about progress, not perfection. We focus on form, control, and low-impact core training. - **Class Vibe**: It’s a supportive community. We move together, laugh, work hard, and everyone feels included. ## More services from Prajakta Date - [Pilates Training](https://mytribe.in/dfitdiva/pilates-training) · ₹250-3,500 per session (estimate) - [Corporate Wellness Programs](https://mytribe.in/dfitdiva/corporate-wellness-programs) · ₹10-60K per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Prajakta Date on mytribe - [Fletcher Pilates Classes & Workshops by Akshata Joshi](https://mytribe.in/fletcherindia_akshata/fletcher-pilates-classes-workshops) · ₹400-1,500 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Therapeutic Yoga by Pragya Bhatt](https://mytribe.in/yogawithpragya/therapeutic-yoga) · ₹2,000-3,000 per session (estimate) · Amrutha Bindu Yoga - The Best Yoga Classes Studio in JP Nagar - [Pain Management & Corrective Exercise by Darshan Parwani](https://mytribe.in/darshanparwani/pain-management-corrective-exercise) · ₹1,200-2,500 per session (estimate) · Yoh Fitness - Fitness Center & Personal Training in Richards Town, Bangalore - [Pilates Classes by Kavita Prakash](https://mytribe.in/pilatesforwellbeing/pilates-classes) · ₹2,800-6,000 per session (estimate) · Pilates for Wellbeing, Lavelle Road| Pilates in Bangalore| Pilates Training | Pilates Classes - [Pilates Instruction by Aakruti](https://mytribe.in/arth.studio/pilates-instruction) · ₹900-3,500 per session (estimate) · My Third Space - [Clinical Pilates by Dr Pilates](https://mytribe.in/drpilates.bengaluru/clinical-pilates) · ₹1,100-3,200 per session (estimate) · Dr Pilates | Kalyan Nagar | Reformer Pilates | EMS training | Physiotherapy - [Injury Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercise by Sufiyan](https://mytribe.in/iamsufi007/injury-rehabilitation-corrective-exercise) · ₹1,800-3,800 per session (estimate) · Stretch Pilates and Wellness - [Pilates Classes & Rehabilitation by Aditi Singh](https://mytribe.in/craftedpilates/pilates-classes-rehabilitation) · ₹4.5-11.5K per month (estimate) · Crafted Pilates ## Book To book Prajakta Date, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Therapeutic%20Exercise%20%26%20Injury%20Prevention%20by%20Prajakta%20Date.)
