Do you feel uncertain or resistant when it comes to exercises that involve loading the head and neck? Or perhaps you would like to gain a better understanding of how mindful work in this area influences the alignment, elongation, and organization of the entire body? The head, face, and neck are critically important—yet often overlooked—areas within the practice of Pilates. The Pilates method includes exercises designed to develop mobility, strength, stabilization, and control of the neck, as well as more advanced inverted positions—performed not only on the mat but also on equipment such as the Reformer, Wunda Chair, or Cadillac.

Pilates classes

Our Studio offers in-person classes in Warsaw and online. They are conducted by certified trainers with many years of experience during individual sessions, in duets, or in groups of four. We work on professional equipment from renowned brands: TecnoPilates, Gratz, Balanced Body, and Legacy. Individual sessions allow for a precise focus on the practitioner’s needs. They are ideal for beginners and for people who want to work deeper on their bodies. Group sessions, due to the small number of participants, allow us to maintain an individual approach to the exercises while simultaneously providing a shared, motivating, and inspiring practice. If you cannot find a class at a time that suits you, we can create a group for you and your friends. Come visit us for a class and exercise in comfortable conditions.

Our clients' reviews

I have been practicing Pilates for 15 years, 7 years at Diamond Pilates Studio i Akademia. Bozena and Illona are among the best teachers out there. I love their personalized classes, and the creative way they mix up the apparatus to work on areas that need attention. I have mild Scoliosis and so regular practice and their knowledge of my body and what it needs has made me stronger, more flexible and for the last 7 years free from pain. Regular practice has also helped me maintain my weight and feel emotionally more centered. If you are looking for a top notch studio with experienced teachers, a wonderful atmosphere, and great service Diamond Pilates is the place to go.

Carol Jordan

I came with a backbone pain on a verge of a surgery, and I stayed for lifetime. Pain went away, core muscles got stronger, my posture got more straight and each move purposeful, but more importantly, the whole new world of my inner body mind connections was opened for the first time. It is a connection, yoga practice could never do for me. Every second spent with Bozena and Ilona on training is an intense therapeutic deep body mind opening experience. If you are looking for a deep relationship with your body, this is the place to go. Trainings are individually crafted for literally everyone, and sky is the limit. Thank You Ilona and Bozena. Your trainings give me power, wellness and open the world of self love ???????? And I feel you also truly love what you do.
