Running the Garuda Pilates Method Classes is Markas Michmel. His background is in Yoga having studied at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains in Rishikesh.
Encompassing the principles of Pilates, the breath-work and asana practices of yoga, the grace and athleticism of dance, Garuda is the face of 21st-century fitness. Where Pilates ends, Garuda begins. Holistic, organic, dynamic – Garuda is the hybrid that is revolutionising our approach to fitness.
Garuda’s results are striking. Increased strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance, with a greater sense of ease and well-being. Garuda offers a cardiovascular workout while drawing deeply on mental focus and teaching the sacred principle of relaxation within movement. The result is a stronger, leaner body, improved posture and true ease of both movement and mind.
A key principle of Garuda is forming a deep connection between the body and mind. The mindful thinking you indulge in during a Garuda class will inspire you throughout your day to day life.
Therefore, receiving a very in-depth and personalised lesson can enhance this. You will be able to learn more about their own body and mind and discuss unique ways of thinking.
