Pilates & Conscience Corporelle

Some studios carry within them the signature of an exceptional teacher. Pilates & Conscience Corporelle is the project of Marie Fratti — a former dancer whose dance remains, by her own admission, 'the first universe', and pilates the second. Her training background is exceptionally complete: certified in Pilates Mat and Machines according to the Mickaël King method (contemporary biomechanics-based approach), certified Garuda, and qualified Sport Santé.

What fundamentally distinguishes Marie Fratti from many teachers is her conception of the objective: 'to develop genuine body awareness in my students, so they feel, during and after the activity, the greatest physical benefits'. The body is not a performance machine — it is an intelligent system to listen to and nourish. This humanistic, precise vision of pilates attracts clients seeking depth.

Classes Offered

Individual Reformer classes of 55 minutes, entirely bespoke — adapted to each client's objectives, pathologies and level. Collective Garuda Barre classes (60 minutes) — a discipline fusing pilates principles and yoga postures in a tai-chi and dance-inspired flow. Pilates Mat classes with accessories. All equipment is provided and disinfected after each use.

The Garuda Method

Garuda is a fluid, organic, holistic and regenerating practice — complementary to pilates through its fluidity and global scope. Marie discovered this practice in her search for new pathways for her own body, and now integrates it into her classes to offer students an unprecedented bodily experience.

Pricing

Individual Reformer class (55 min) from €65. Collective Garuda Barre from €20/person.
