This fitness regime is fast becoming the answer to your well being concerns. Located in Saar, Equilibrium is a state-of-the-art pilates and fitness centre owned and run by Patricia Kabalaoui, a seasoned instructor with BASI certification. “Pilates is not just mat exercises, there are various forms that include apparatus and accessories such as stability balls, magic circle, foam rollers and elastic bands. It is a gentle but intense and effective form of exercise,” Patricia explains. This exercise routine targets your body holistically. Concentration and precision are the prerequisites to achieve the full benefits of Pilates. Focus is on alignment, posture, and muscles imbalance. Pilates is suitable for the elderly, athletes, children, pregnant women, people recovering from injuries and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The centre has a multitude of success stories to share. “A 70-year-old client with a hip replacement, back and neck problems says that without Pilates she wouldn’t even be moving,” Patricia notes. Additionally, the fitness centre has a massage room with a masseur adept in hot stone, deep tissue and other therapeutic massages. After a workout one can relax in the in-house café that serves fresh and healthy meals, salads, snacks and drinks. “We aim to achieve wellbeing based on equilibrium of body and mind. That’s what healthy living is all about,” adds Patricia. E Call 17 250-227.
