What is Pura Vida 010?
Pura Vida means living a pure life. For me, that is not only about food and sports, but about being honest and true to yourself — following what your gut tells you. We beliene that It’s about moving according to your own patterns, on your own terms.
Sometimes we push our bodies too hard, or not enough, and that takes us out of balance. My mission is to help you find yourself through movement — whether you need to build strength and resilience, or allow your body to let go and release.
At Pura Vida Studio, we work with the amazing principles of Pilates to engage the whole body in a truly UNIQUE session, always respecting who you are, where you are right now, and where you want to go.

👉 What is Pilates?
(Contrology by Joseph Pilates’ system):

Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology because the central idea is to use the mind to control the body.

It’s not about moving by inertia, but about moving in a conscious, precise, and coordinated way.
It’s based on exercises that strengthen the deep muscles of the abdomen, back, and pelvis (what we now call the core), which provide support and stability.
The goal is not just to “get stronger” or “burn calories,” but to improve posture, breathing, flexibility, and overall body balance.

👉 What it feels like to practice it:

Imagine your body is like a car: Pilates is like aligning the chassis, improving the suspension, and tuning the engine, so everything runs smoothly without extra wear.
Each exercise is done with concentration, control, flow, precision, and breathing (these are the basic principles).

👉 In practice:

It can be done on the floor (Mat Pilates) or with special equipment Joseph Pilates invented (Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, etc.).
You don’t need to be flexible or strong to start: the method is designed to progress step by step so your body moves more naturally and healthily.
