Our Fitness Programmes
Pilates
At the heart of The Zone Mind and Body Studio is Pilates: an excellent mind-body exercise system that addresses a need of people who want to move away from traditional exercise programmes. Anjali Sareen is the only STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer in India who, as well as training clients, trains and examines instructors. STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates which incorporates modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement, making it one of the safest and effective methods available.
Each Pilates session is designed as a 45 minute workout with a choice of either individual or group sessions (maximum six persons), by appointment only. These small, personalized sessions allow customized attention and close monitoring of each participant’s form and technique, ensuring that the client gains the maximum benefit and enjoys a continually evolving and challenging programme. The focus is on quality of movement rather than quantity, with a balanced approach which ensures that no one muscle group is overworked and that the body works as an efficient, holistic system in sport and daily activity.
Pilates can be done by itself or integrated with other forms of exercise to actually improve and achieve better performance in a wide range of activities, e.g., horse riding, tennis, golf, cricket, swimming, running, basketball, cycling, etc. It improves cardiovascular efficiency and endurance, while strengthening the core, which results in better posture and neutral body alignment, a solid foundation for improving results from strength training. In disciplines such as martial arts and dance, Pilates not only creates a higher body awareness but through better posture, stability and balance it helps to create a stronger, more stable base with which to work.
The Zone offers a fully equipped machine based programme that includes Reformers, Cadillac/Trapeze, Stability Chair, Ladder Barrel, Jump-Board, V2 Max, along with other small equipment such as stability and flex balls, rotational disks, stability cushions, fitness circles, foam rollers, and more.

Tai-Chi
Tai-Chi Chuan is an eminent Chinese art, which originated around 500 A.D. It is a physical and mental discipline, similar in some respect to Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga and other eastern esoteric systems, which activate the internal energy. This activation of internal energy is known as 'Chi' in Chinese and 'Prana' in Sanskrit.
Tai-Chi is a series of never ending integrated movements practiced in a slow rhythm with a relaxed and concentrated mind, and no muscular tension. Though slow and never done in a hurry, it is rich and magical. Tai-Chi Chuan is ideal for people of any age to practice. Tai-Chi Chuan classes are conducted by Master K V Subramanyan, who has been practicing this Chinese Internal Martial Art for about thirty years.
Karate
For many Karate is a mere sport... but most importantly it is a martial art and means of developing and maintaining good health. To this end, one should always be aware of the philosophical and health-related aspects of Karate. A Karate-ka strives to make his physical techniques pure expressions of his mind's intention, and also strives to improve his mind's focus by understanding the essence of the physical techniques. Karate-Do is a way of life. Sensei Subramanyan is the chief instructor of Shotokan Karate International India. His rigorous training schedule and his stringent admission and grading criteria have his students constantly striving to better themselves.
Yoga
Amongst the most ancient of sciences, the practice of yoga can provide a complete solution for stress-free living. Yoga helps achieve good health through the practice of asanas and meditation, along with breathing techniques.
