If your resolution for 2019 is to get fit, the first Pilates studio in Oman set to open in January, has the answer to it.
The studio, specialising in Pilates reformer and mat classes, offers personalised training in small classes accommodating a broad range of levels.
Speaking to Muscat Daily, Mushira al Barwani, founder of the studio and a trainer, said, 'Pilates is an excellent form of exercise, that helps develop core strength and overall body flexibility. Located near Muscat City Centre, this is the first Pilates studio to open in Oman.
'It is designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. It teaches you how to move and where to move your body. Pilates differs from other forms of exercises because it helps the person use the correct muscles to move the body.'
She said that Pilates increases flexibility, develops core strength, improves posture, increases awareness - body and mind connection. 'Pilates focuses on whole body movements - the way we move in real life.'
It is named after its creator, Joseph Pilates, who originally called it 'contrology' when he introduced this exercise method in the 1920s in New York. 'A full-body workout that focuses primarily on the larger core muscles (abdominals, back, hips, thighs), Pilates can be performed either as floor exercises on a mat or with specially designed equipment.
'Out trainers will train people to move their bodies correctly. Once you move correctly you get those great abs and those workout results that you desire,' Mushira said.
The studio can also be contacted via Instagram page@Pilates_muscat.
