Essenzaa Pilates

I had tried Pilates in London before and liked the boutique studio experience there. When I visited Essenzaa, the first thing I noticed was how calm and focused the place felt. It is not crowded and nobody is just rushing through exercises. The instructor watches how you move and keeps correcting you through the session. I especially liked the focus on breathing and control because that was similar to what I had experienced abroad. It feels nice that this quality of Pilates is now available in Indore also.

I play padel regularly and joined Essenzaa because I wanted to become quicker and stronger without only doing more gym workouts. The instructor noticed that I was using one side much more during certain movements, which made complete sense because of my sport. We worked a lot on core control, balance and hip stability. I now feel more stable when changing direction on court and I recover better after games also. Pilates has become a very useful part of my padel training, not just another workout.

I had become very protective of my back because of recurring spine stiffness. Slowly that fear itself was stopping me from moving normally. At Essenzaa the sessions started very gently and the instructor explained what was safe for me instead of making me feel weak. Week by week I became more comfortable with bending, rotation and strength work. My body feels freer now and I am not overthinking every movement the way I used to. That change in confidence has been as important as the physical improvement.

I enjoy strength training and did not want to stop lifting when I joined Pilates. At Essenzaa nobody told me I had to choose one or the other. Instead, Pilates helped me understand where I was using momentum and where I lacked control. My hip mobility and trunk stability have improved, and I feel my lifting technique is also better because I am more aware of alignment. For me Pilates works very well as a complement to strength training rather than a replacement. Class time Other

My friend and I joined Essenzaa together because we knew we would be more regular if we had company. We expected it to be a fun workout, but both of us ended up learning so much about our own bodies. Even though we are in the same session, the instructor does not treat us exactly the same because our strengths and limitations are different. We motivate each other, but there is no comparison. It has become something we genuinely look forward to doing together every week. Class time Morning

I had become very inactive and was honestly embarrassed about starting exercise again because my stamina and strength were both low. Essenzaa was one of the few places where I never felt judged. The instructor started from where I was, not where I thought I should be. Slowly the movements became more challenging and I started seeing progress without feeling overwhelmed. I am stronger now, but the biggest change is that I no longer feel scared of exercise. I actually look forward to my sessions.

I had heard the name STOTT PILATES before but did not really understand what it meant until I started at Essenzaa. The difference I notice is in how much attention is given to alignment and control. The instructor is not interested in just making the exercise look difficult. Even basic movements are corrected until the body is working properly. I really value this teaching style because it feels safe and intelligent. Sneha's knowledge comes through in very small details during the session.

I travel frequently for work and long flights always leave my hips and back feeling stiff. I joined Essenzaa because I wanted to improve general mobility instead of waiting for stiffness to become pain. Pilates has helped me understand which areas of my body stop moving properly after too much sitting. Now even when I travel, I know how to manage my movement better and I recover faster after flights. The sessions have made me much more aware of my body during travel, which has been very useful.
