Why classical Pilates is different
Classical Pilates is the original, structured method developed by Joseph Pilates. At Katie Kollar Pilates in Wels it is taught as a complete apparatus system: mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrel and smaller apparatus work together so strength, control, mobility and posture are trained as one whole-body method.
Searches for classical Pilates in Austria can lead to very different types of studios and courses. Classical does not mean old-fashioned here. It means methodical: the exercises, order, apparatus and corrections follow a clear logic. Each session builds on what the body can already do and develops control step by step.
Complete apparatus system
Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector and smaller apparatus are used as one connected system.
