WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a refreshing mind-body workout, which focuses on core stability and posture, aiming to lengthen and strengthen muscles. The exercises are performed in a very slow and controlled manner with similarities to yoga as the class incorporates relaxation and breathing techniques. Pilates increases flexibility, agility, builds strength and is a safe yet challenging workout. Standing, seated and lying exercises are performed.

Ballet Austin's Pilates Center is a 760 square foot facility that is open to the public. Equipped with state-of-the-art Balanced Body™ equipment and taught by certified instructors, the studio is ideal for both individual and group instruction.

Vlada was a member of Ballet Austin's Company from 1992-2003 and danced a variety of classical and contemporary roles, including the original Lady Capulet in Stephen Mills' Romeo and Juliet. In 2002 Vlada joined the Ballet Austin Pilates Studio as an instructor and in 2005 was acknowledged as the "Pre-eminent Purveyor of Pilates" by Austin Monthly magazine.
