What is Callanetics?
Callanetics and Pilates are non-aerobic safe exercise methods developed by Callan Pinckney and Joseph Pilates respectively, to improve overall well being. They increase strength, stamina and flexibility .
With a thorough understanding of the human anatomy, our comprehensive exercise programme combines Callanetics and Pilates. Each of the classes will have a focus – after a general warm-up, a set of exercises is executed that will focus on a specific area of the body, like the back, the legs, or arms. Our classes adapt all the exercises to suit individuals and their personal needs. The attention to detail also ensures that all our students obtain the maximum benefits of the exercises while guaranteeing that they remain injury free.

Craig Raynes - Director / Geophysicist at IndiGEO Consultants Pvt Limited
A desire to be a fit in his 40’s got him back into cycling several years ago. Craig Raynes, an avid cycling and fitness enthusiast felt he wasn’t getting the full body workout that he needed and so took up Callanetics with Yana Lewis several years ago.
“While each session stretched me to my limits I soon started feeling the holistic benefits of these sessions, and became hooked to such an extent that I really missed the twice-weekly sessions if I was out of station due to work commitments.
Callanetics has definitely improved my core strength and overall body symmetry, with Yana’s expert eye being able to identify any issues and modify any of the session exercises accordingly. I’d thoroughly recommend regular sessions of Callanetics to anyone of any age.”
