Services
Pilates Reformer
Our Pilates Reformer classes utilize specialized equipment to build core strength, improve flexibility, and enhance body awareness. The adjustable resistance system accommodates all fitness levels while promoting proper alignment and controlled movements. Clients benefit from improved posture, muscle tone, and joint stability through structured reformer sequences that challenge both physical and mental coordination.
Private Sessions
Personalized Pilates instruction tailored to individual needs through comprehensive postural analysis and customized programming. These sessions allow focused attention on specific goals, injury rehabilitation, or mastering technical aspects at the client's pace. The private setting enables deeper exploration of Pilates principles while ensuring proper form and progression.
Matwork Classes
Traditional floor-based Pilates exercises that develop core strength, body control, and mindful movement patterns. Our matwork classes incorporate small equipment to enhance resistance and variety while maintaining classical Pilates principles. Participants learn proper breathing techniques, spinal articulation, and transitional movements that form the foundation for all Pilates practice.
Pilates Tower
Integrated Pilates Tower sessions combine reformer mechanics with vertical resistance training to target upper body strength and torso stability. This hybrid apparatus develops arm and shoulder endurance while maintaining core engagement throughout dynamic movements. The tower format enhances spatial awareness and coordination through multi-directional exercises.
Cardio Tramp
High-energy interval training combining Pilates reformer exercises with cardiovascular conditioning on the Cardio Tramp. This format elevates heart rate while maintaining Pilates principles of controlled movement and core engagement. The program improves endurance, burns calories, and enhances coordination through alternating strength and cardio sequences.

I love to leave a review when something / someone has been outstanding, but Ive been a little trepidatious of leaving one for Ladan as I worry I cannot possibly do her justice! This is not just your standard reformer Pilates, this is gold standard reformer Pilates! Ladan is an absolute maestro, the movements and multitude variations and adaptations of said movements is second to none. Her Pilates reaches the spot no other Pilates reaches. Very challenging yet wonderfully restorative.

I decided to start Pilates after my doctor suggest me to do so as I suffer from herniations in my lower back and backache. After one month of exercising in reformer Pilates my lower back pain has been massively reduced and my back feels much more flexible than it used to be. Ladane is an amazing instructor very kind and friendly , she had a very… careful approach on my back problem and the results are amazing so far! I highly recommend Ava studio for anyone that suffers from back pain or anyone else who just want to enjoy some Quality exercise as the studio is small and instructors are in
