About us What is Garuda?
Garuda is a test of mental and physical strength, asking for focus and concentration during the exercises inspiring a more intuitive way to exercise the body. The body responds extremely well, and results are seen quickly.
Garuda offers a strong core workout element, respecting the principles of the Pilates Method, has the flow and grace of yoga, and the cardiovascular element of dance.
Having 20+ years of teaching Pilates and other group exercise sessions, it was challenging to wrap my brain and teaching voice around the freedom Garuda offers, but I have never looked back.
The results? A stronger, leaner body, improved posture and ease of movement in everyday life.
