For whom

All teachers at Leila’s Pilates have a back­ground in the performing arts, and have many years of expe­ri­ence working with performers, such as dancers, musi­cians, actors, and circus performers. The body plays a crucial role in these profes­sions to excel. The load is often heavy and can be one-sided, espe­cially during a rehearsal period. This can cause the body to become out of balance, resulting in all kinds of possible complaints.
Through an analysis of your move­ment patterns you and the teacher come to an exer­cise program, with the aim of bringing your body more into balance.

We have very special­ized knowl­edge for (former) dancers, with which we can link the Pilates work to a diverse range of dance styles, and in this way improve your dance perfor­mance. With targeted prac­tice you can effec­tively improve dance-specific points of atten­tion. Think, for example, of using your maximum printout, a better coör­di­nated shoulder girdle, nicely artic­u­lated feet, a flex­ible and strong back, a more powerful core and more effec­tive breathing tech­niques.

Pilates is a very effec­tive method to support many different sports. World­wide, more and more top athletes and sports teams are adding Pilates to their training because of its proven effec­tive­ness.

You can improve your overall strength, coör­di­na­tion, flex­i­bility, as well as focus specif­i­cally on one aspect of your sport to improve your perfor­mance.

We already have exten­sive expe­ri­ence with rowers, figure skaters and athletes and look forward to working with other disci­plines as well.

You are welcome to take your coach to the studio to find an optimal connec­tion with your sports program.

After a medical proce­dure, an acci­dent or illness, support in recovery is often impor­tant. We can offer you training sessions during and after your recovery period, if desired in consul­ta­tion with your treating ther­a­pist.

Because of the possi­bil­i­ties of the Pilates equip­ment, you can often start exer­cising at an early stage, and increase the inten­sity as soon as possible. By supporting the springs, you can gain posi­tive move­ment expe­ri­ences at the begin­ning of your recovery process, and thus regain confi­dence in your body.

Restoring a healthy breathing pattern, good posture and better balance will help you boost your confi­dence, improve your sleep and gener­ally help you feel more vital. We give you simple home­work assign­ments to encourage you to be active in your recovery process.

Our team can help you with recovery and prepa­ra­tion for surgery, and can chal­lenge you regard­less of your back­ground in move­ment.

At Leila’s Pilates, all teachers are certi­fied Polestar Compre­hen­sive teachers.

The Polestar Pilates curriculum gives you as a teacher a science-based approach to Pilates. As a result, you learn to approach your customers holis­ti­cally, and to support them in achieving their goals. (www​.polestarpi​lates​.com)

If you are inter­ested in taking this course, please contact us. We are happy to see if we can put together a tailor-made package together to prepare you for the training.

We also offer a trajec­tory to prepare for the Polestar exam, including through intern­ship oppor­tu­ni­ties.

We offer coaching for Pilates teachers who are already working and who are looking for new inspi­ra­tion. In consul­ta­tion we can then put together a package according to your wishes. If you are inter­ested in that, please contact us.
