Kinaesthesis Mind Body Pilates STUDIO
November 2020 | Athens, Greece
“When I decided to start my own business, I chose to buy from Gratz as I had heard they were the very first manufacturers who worked closely with Romana Kryzanowska and kept the proportions as dictated by the Method's founder. Having completed my CTT using apparatus from another company, the very first time I lied down on my reformer I was in for a big surprise! I could only do half of what I used to! Gratz equipment made me work much harder and much deeper than before and helped my movements become more efficient. I get the same reaction from every single client who came from another studio and never experienced the Gratz equipment before. Not only are they sleek and beautiful, they really make you do the work!”

Kinaesthesis Mind Body Pilates Studio
STUDIO
Established in 2007, KINAESTHESIS Mind Body Practices is a fully equipped Classical Pilates studio that also offers Gyrotonic® and Yoga lessons. It is a big, beautiful and airy space laid out over two floors: the lower level is intended for the group classes and the top for private sessions. KINAESTHESIS comes from the Greek words kinesis (movement) and aesthesis (feeling), literally meaning "movement feeling". It is our internal sense of our body and enables us to sense what our body is doing at any given time. And there lies the secret that will really make a difference in the way we practice so we can take the benefits outside the studio into our everyday lives. And there's no better equipment than Gratz to help people really feel the movement in their bodies, to get connected, internally but also with the apparatus: the dimensions are right, the springs' resistance is such that apparatus and bodies become one.
EQUIPMENT
KINAESTHESIS Mind Body Practices is a fully equiped Gratz Classical Pilates Studio. There is nothing that is missing from the Guillotine to the toe exerciser, from the archive reformer to the breath-a-cizer. Everything that is necessary to bring Pilates to their clients as a method for the mind, body and spirit, just the way it was intended! “When I decided to start my own business, I chose to buy from Gratz as I had heard they were the very first manufacturers who worked closely with Romana Kryzanowska and kept the proportions as dictated by theMethod's founder.

About Elia Zacharioudaki
About Christina Kaskanea
observes the moving body is remarkable and the way she connects with the clients makes her a valuable asset to the team!
It is imperative that every teacher at KINAESTHESIS, every apprentice in the studio know that in order to convey the Pilates message to their clients must first embody all the Pilates principles themselves, in the way they practice but also in their way of teaching.
