Why Stay Classical in a Contemporary World...
The classical order, developed by Joseph Pilates, forms the foundation of his approach. This system has been meticulously honed over the years, reflecting deep thought and careful consideration. Its aim is to foster balance within the body by ensuring equal engagement of all muscle groups, thus avoiding imbalances that may lead to injury. The effectiveness of the method is derived from the specific sequence in which the exercises are performed, with each exercise building upon the previous one. This technique utilizes traditional Pilates equipment, such as the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair. Classical Pilates instructors typically follow a structured teaching method, focusing on precise, controlled movements and a thorough understanding of the original technique.

Your Advantages of working with me
I offer a unique approach to fitness that integrates the transformative benefits of Pilates while focusing on enhancing your everyday movement efficiency.
In word and deed
Nowadays anyone can say, “I am a Pilates instructor,” but that instructor may have been certified in only a few months or even just a weekend! Would you trust your health to a doctor or any other health professional who was certified after only a few months study? I have studied the work’s of many of the world’s most esteemed Classical Pilates instructors, including teachers who were themselves taught by Joe and Clara Pilates. “move the body” is a simple yet powerful direction that i have learned from these teachers. When you work with me you can feel assured that you are in best hands of a professional who walks the talk.
Supportive Culture
Modern society is obsessed with a culture that glorifies youth. There is lot of pressure on everyone to fit in. The fitness industry in not left untouched by this trend. The definition of what fitness is and who is qualified to define the term are subject to endless debate, as is how we should exercise. My place is bereft of any such pre-conceived notions. I offer you a environment where you can be yourself, move your body in a safe way , you don't have to get self- concious about whether what you are doing is perfect or not but just enjoy the workout you are doing and feel good about it.
Risk-free Investment
We all want our investments to have good return at the end of the day. Even after the best efforts at times things don't turn out the way we may have wanted them too, the same applies to your lessons with me. You are covered by my iron clad money back guarantee offer. If you don’t like the lessons for any reason your pending lessons of the pack will be refunded without any questions asked.
I also understand at times some unforeseen situations may come up at the last moment and i don't want to make it more miserable by charging you a late cancellation fee. I have no cancellation policy apart from you completing the pack in the mutually agreed time interval
Goal-Focused Workouts
I believe everybody is designed to move well and your body is not an exception. You will always get a unique workout for your unique body which goes much more beyond teaching you some random choreography searched from some online source. I will be making the necessary corrections or modifications to the exercises for your body needs that day. Your everyday life will be enhanced from the knowledge you have gained in the studio. These will not only include optimal alignment, posture, strength, flexibility, core strength but also habits that will assist you in all your endeavors and help you avoid problems in the future.

I provide private lessons, and all sessions are personally conducted by me, Abdul Kalam, Male instructor of Indian origin.
-
I am a dedicated and skilled exercise trainer who specializes in Classical Pilates. My main goal is to promote healthy movement and motivate people. I'm not here to fix or heal anyone; my role is to guide you through exercise. If you come to me for instance say with back pain, I won’t use Classical Pilates to treat that pain. Instead, I’ll work around your discomfort, steering clear of it whenever possible, or only pushing to the point where you don’t feel any pain. My focus will be on strengthening the rest of your body, giving it a better chance to heal itself. I won’t ever claim that Classical Pilates will solve your problems.
-
My home studio is dedicated solely to Classical Pilates private sessions, with only the student present alongside me at any time.
-
Throughout the lesson, there may be occasions when I need to use tactile cueing, which involves adjusting your body—such as your knee, hip, or shoulders—through touch to enhance movement effectiveness. If you are uncomfortable with this, please inform me immediately so that I can cease the adjustments.
-
My home studio is fully equipped with a comprehensive range of classical Pilates apparatus, including both popular items like the Reformer and less common equipment such as the Hand tensometer. Depending on your specific needs during the lesson, you may utilize one, a combination, or all of the available apparatus. I do not offer lessons that focus solely on specific equipment like the Reformer.
-
Working with me won't give you quick results. Based on my experience, everyone begins with "bad" pilates, but with dedication and patience, they improve, and their bodies start to transform. If you're looking to nail everything perfectly from the very first lesson, my sessions might not be the right fit for you.

Why i do what i do?
We are all crazy in different ways, when i decided to pursue teaching Classical Pilates as a full time career many around me called it a suicidal job mission but am glad i just stuck to my intuitions. I was not always a Classical Pilates teacher. Not long back i was working as a software developer, due to immediate need to take care of my bed ridden father i had to take a break from the full time job. To keep some income flowing(a few billions in bank never hurts) during my off period i was looking for options that will not require lot of time from me but should be something i would be happy doing till i return back to my normal job. I was already into Classical Pilates by then and had started liking it and kind of felt i would be happy teaching this to others so that they can also see the benefits it will bring to them the way it did to me and that is how i started my teaching career at the local studio here as a freelance instructor in Bangalore around July 2018. As i started talking about Classical Pilates to people one thing i realized is there is lot of mis-conceptions about the movement practice ( be it in terms of it is just for flexibility or only women do this or it is done by a particular body type or it is just a “core” exercise…) which was making people reluctant to give it a try and that is why in year 2021 i started my home studio to teach Classical Pilates in its full and unadulterated form to help my students feel better and stronger . I am very particular about keeping my teaching evolving as I know I will not be able to help much if my experience is limited. I continue my education in many different ways and use that education to evolve my Classical Pilates teaching. I try to interact with as many different teachers in Classical Pilates world as I can and explore their different thought processes about the method, various apparatuses, their teaching styles and so on. Whether Classical Pilates is for everybody or not is debatable but there is no doubt that doing Classical Pilates on a regular basis can bring positive changes in self-image, athletic performance, and the ability to perform daily activities.
My most satisfying moment as a teacher..
A 60 yr old student came back from her vacation and tells me you know what all my friends once they sat down they had to get assistance to stand up on their feet again and i got up just like that so amazing . It was a powerful moment for me. It emphasized again how much I love and believe in the magic of Classical Pilates.
Some fun facts..
I am passionate about my good night sleep, spending time doing absolutely nothing, reading and Math. I would rate Math higher than the others, to me it was never a academic subject but as the professor in the book “Housekeeper and the professor” says the source of our evolution. I have learned valuable life lessons from this not so liked subject. My book collection ranges from Fiction , Math’s, Pilates, Puzzles and Software Programming. I indulge them a lot. I avoid eating outside food unless situation warrants it. I enjoy cuisine that is simply cooked, free of oil, sugar, and less spices, and is attractive in color, appealing in aroma, and fulfilling in texture. I also enjoy exploring new ways to make money. One day I will make a difference to the world—mostly by creating an amazing home, raising my own vegetables, and keeping some rabbits as pets—making me feel like the kind king or queen of a small, fluffy kingdom and yes i will still be practicing and teaching Classical Pilates.
