Pilates, a practice once primarily focused on rehabilitation, has evolved into a widely embraced exercise regimen known for enhancing posture and overall body strength. Its structured approach to mind-body connection is increasingly recognized for its benefits.

Recent research supports Pilates' positive impact on cognitive and functional health. A 12-week randomized clinical trial published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that Pilates programs significantly improved verbal fluency, executive function, lower body strength, and functional flexibility in older women. The study concluded that Pilates holds potential for boosting cognitive and functional abilities in this demographic.

According to me, all countries must start from zero. But we, as a branch, want to provide a better standard for clients and want to help clients in the process of improving their health.

— Coach BellaCoach Bella explained Vaura's commitment to high standards and client health during an exclusive media experience at Vaura Pilates Menteng.

Jakarta is set to welcome Vaura Pilates, a new studio in Menteng offering the signature Reformer Pilates experience from Australia. This studio aims to provide an athletic Reformer routine that incorporates cardio and weights for strengthening and flexibility, enhanced by music and LED lighting. Vaura Pilates emphasizes inclusivity, with specialized classes designed for beginners, pregnant women, and individuals recovering from injuries. Coach Bella highlighted the studio's commitment to providing a high standard of care, with private sessions recommended for those needing focused guidance, particularly for beginners, pregnant individuals, and those with post-injury conditions to ensure safety and personalized attention.

However, it is highly recommended to use the available private sessions so that the trainer can focus while guiding during the exercise session.
