The Cadillac was originally devised by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate bedridden patients back when he was working as a hospital orderly. The apparatus has evolved a bit since the makeshift bed spring days, but its inspiration is apparent and it continues to be a bridge between exercise and physical therapy.

The Pilates Cadillac is an extremely versatile piece of the Classical Pilates Repertoire and, like all other Pilates equipment, can be used to progress and regress movement in order to address the functional needs of both the beginner and advanced Pilates Students. Also, a special thanks to a lovely student, Natalie, who is performing the “Art of the Movement” at Luzlife Private Pilates And Yoga Studio In Qatar

LuzLife setting new limits every day!

 Once upon a time a baby princess was swept away by her entourage to protect her from the life of being raised as royalty in the kings court and hidden away in a family of gypsies in a far away land. She grew wearing second hand clothes and wearing the same clothes to school every day having to walk through cold winds and rain with the wind cutting through her thin clothes and rain soaking her worn socks through her worn out shoes. But everyday she survived telling herself that she was a princess and that all of these bad things will pass. Many years passed and she was sought out may many false princes who promised to restore her to the life of royalty that she deserved. Finally, one day she was crossing the street singing to herself a song that she knew would send her home to safety when a horse who did not know she was a princess ran her over and left her lying broken in the street and people who also didn’t know of her royalty picked her up and cared for her until she was well. She never told them she was a princess for fear that they would not believe. She then decided that she would set out on her own to find her castle and treasure that was waiting for her is a far away place that she did not know. Her travels took her to far away and unfamiliar jungles, seas and ruins of extinct civilizations; to far away continents and tropical jungles and high cold mountains where ruins of ancient civilizations and promises of spiritual enlightenment began to inspire her awareness of her true self realizing that her kingdom and her subjects were all around her where she went. She learned strength from the Ashanga people, endurance from the Garuda people and core awareness from the Pilates people. The tests of her journey left her with inner cervical focus that required the teachings and magic spells of the great Guru Verapan who helped her restore the inner strength to continue her journey. Still not satisfied that she was prepared to continue her journey to her kingdom she ventured to learn peace, meditation and breathing from the tribe of Yin. Now she fly one more time to meet her Pilates Guru; to bring back the the ultimate in Pilates for her own Studio. 

Today her journey continue …

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique”. Martha Graham.

Pilates Method is a whole develop strong abdominal, back, butt, upper limbs, hips, shoulders, lowers limbs, flexible fascia network, working in deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system and act as what Pilates called the “Powerhouse” of the body.

The Pilates Method works to strengthen the center, working with the spine one vertebra at the time, give flexibility and stabilization, increasing the body awareness. Building muscles tone and lean, gain flexibility and peace of mind.

“You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.” Martha Graham.

LuzLife believe that Mat-work in Pilates is a great complement in Pilates Repertoire.  As we know Mat-work is not for beginner and not for everybody.  that why we do Standing Pilates workout, using  Reformer Pilates, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Corrector and High Ladder Barrels and all the Pilates Equipment and Tools original created for Joseph Pilates.

Pilates Principals and LuzLife Total Pilates:

Centering: Physically bringing the focus to the center of the body, the power house area between the lower ribs and pubic bone. Energetically, Pilates exercises are sourced from center.

Concentration: If one brings full attention to the exercise and does it with full commitment, maximum value will be obtained from each movement.

Control: Every Pilates exercise is done with complete muscular control. No body part is left to its own devices.

Precision: In Pilates, awareness is sustained throughout each movement. There is an appropriate placement, alignment relative to other body parts, and trajectory for each part of the body.

Breath: Joseph Pilates, emphasized using a very full breath in his exercises. He advocated thinking of the lungs as a bellows — using them strongly to pump the air fully in and out of the body. Most Pilates exercises coordinate with the breath, and using the breath properly is an integral part of Pilates exercise.

Breathing like a baby, from your belly, touch your belly and be connected with your inner child,  breath from your root” Luz A. Lovern

Flow: Pilates exercise is done in a flowing manner. Fluidity, grace, and ease are goals applied to all exercises. The energy of an exercise connects all body parts and flows through the body in an even way. Pilates equipment, like the reformer, are very good mirrors of one’s flow and concentration as they tend to bang around and suddenly become quite “machine-like” if one loses ones control and flow.

“With body, mind, and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole, what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person?” – Joseph Pilates
