About this collection
These aren't your standard mat classes. We use the Cadillac and Trapeze Tower to move through complex, gravity-defying planes that force your stabilizing muscles to work harder than ever. You will need to commit to the fundamentals first, but once you unlock these movements, you gain a level of body awareness and functional strength that stays with you long after you leave the studio.
If you have mastered the Reformer and want to take your Pilates practice into the next dimension, the Cadillac and Trapeze Tower are your best friends. These apparatuses allow for a wider range of motion, providing spring-based resistance that supports you while challenging your balance and flexibility.
Why go advanced?
Standard classes build strength, but advanced aerial-style movements build control. When you are hanging, inverting, or working against gravity on the stability chair, you cannot cheat your movement. You must recruit deep abdominal muscles that often stay dormant. This is essential for anyone looking to correct persistent posture issues or build the kind of functional strength that protects the spine.
What to expect at our Hauz Khas studio
We do not just jump into aerial exercises. We follow a safe, controlled progression. Whether it is the Teaser series on the Trapeze or specific dip variations on the Stability Chair, every move is guided by our certified trainers. We prioritize form over everything, ensuring you get the benefits of the movement without unnecessary strain.
Is this for you?
You do not need to be an athlete to start, but you do need patience. These moves require trust in the equipment and your instructor. We work with clients on injury rehab who eventually graduate to these complex moves, and we work with regular practitioners who just want a fresh, challenging routine. It is about moving better, not just moving more.
