Pilatesflows - health insurance recognised classes

Pilatesflows is a movement method developed by Pascale Blunier that combines Pilates with principles from physiotherapy, osteopathy and recent studies on fascia. No machinery is needed to practice it, just roll out a mat and you're done. Fundamental is the precision of the movement always guided by the correct activation of the Powerhouse (come to the free trial course to understand what it is)...

Pilatesflows and Flowers

A two-hour session where you’ll have the opportunity to create your own floral arrangement and take a meditative Pilatesflows class with theme connected to your arrangement. As shown in the PDF below, each session will have a specific theme. With guidance from Arianna and Lucia (from Hanami Fiori&Deco), you’ll create your own floral arrangement (see examples in the PDF). And as a memory of the event you will be able to bring home what you have crafted with love. I will guide you through a Primrose Flow class—a meditative Pilatesflows session. The class will be structured around the week’s theme. Using the foundation of Pilatesflows, the movements will help you cultivate your well-being, and you’ll also have the opportunity to anchor the session’s theme even more deeply within your body (through meditation and other exercises). The classes are suitable for all levels. For all details and registration, see the PDF below. We look forward to seeing you!

Summer classes

Take advantage of our Summer classes to stay active even during the Summer! Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to try something new and let yourself be surprised. They’re also perfect for athletes who want to rebalance their bodies, become more aware of them, and consequently improve in their sport. However, the course is also suitable for more sedentary and “less fit” people who want to challenge themselves and take care of their bodies. Classes will be tailored to the group, and for all complicated exercises, simpler variations will always be offered. I look forward to seeing you!

Meditative Pilatesflows

An early morning workout to start the day by carving out some time for yourself. Each class is built around a theme for reflection, which is then paired with a sequence of exercises to reinforce the message and work on it with the body. The body listens and absorbs everything we experience, and with this approach, we make it easier for the body to transform, let go, feel our strength, and take up our space. Primrose Flow combines movement and reflection, based on Pilates flows, but also incorporating elements of meditation, dance, yoga, and more. For those following the course from home, all you need is the space for your mat.

Yoga, Dance and Wine

We’re bringing back our wonderful Yoga and Dance session with Ada. On Sunday, July 5, take some time for yourself to move with us through asanas and a dance meditation (Lotusmotion) led by me. To wrap up the evening, there will also be a delicious aperitif prepared by Manimatte, served with a glass of wine. An ideal evening to carve out some time for yourself, but also to share a moment with the other participants and recharge yourself for the week ahead. We look forward to seeing you!

About me

Since a young age I have always liked movment and with the age of 6 I started dancing, a passion that kept growing over time and brought me to chose it as a profession.

Physical activity has always been an important part of my daily life, allowing me to feel centred and balanced. After high school, I pursued my interest in movement and in 2019 I completed my studies in Sports, Movement and Health Sciences at the University of Basel. I then moved to London to pursue my training in contemporary dance at Elevate Dance Company. When I returned to Switzerland in 2020, I started working as a teacher of modern-contemporary dance and ballet. Later, I also taught modern jazz. In 2020, I began my Pilatesflows training. This training introduced me to a very effective training method that allowed me to rebalance my body. I am currently pursuing a diploma in choreography, with I-Path. After my first work experiences in Biel, Bern and Fribourg, I decided to return to Ticino and start my own Pilatesflows and Lotusmotion courses. In addition to this, I am also continuing with the DanzarMente project and teaching dance at ATAS in Locarno.

I speak Italian, English, French and German (as well as swissgerman), and I have already taught in all these langauges. If you would like to take a class with me, but don’t feel at ease in italian, no worries. I can guide you in the language you prefer. Come and try!

Why did I choose the name Bloomingmoves?

Bloomingmoves means movements of blossoming. After the movement practices I offer, from personal experience, I always feel like a flower. I feel good, open, positive, strong, grounded, beautiful, connected, centred... and it is this feeling that I like to convey in my courses.

Testimonies

"My first Pilates class was with Marylin, and I think she's the best. Thanks to her attention, Marylin not only helps you perform the exercises but also listen to your body and adapt to its needs. After a year of weekly classes, a year after giving birth, she helped me alleviate several postpartum complaints."Meriam
