Radoslav Cvik

All my life I enjoy sports and I do various sports, I inherited inclinations towards teaching after my
parents :-). I once had no idea that I would become a Pilates instructor and that I would fall in love
with this set of exercises.
I discovered Pilates 8 years ago (today is 2021). This exercise enchanted me with its efficiency
and simplicity and thus I began to be actively engaged in it. I am constantly learning Pilates, but
also other options that I can combine in my Pilates class, e.g. I completed a DNS course created
by the Czech physiotherapist Professor Pavel Kolář, as well as trainings for exercises with various
aids and exercises on machines, e.g. exercises with Thera-band, Roller, Fit-ball, Flowin and
Reformer.
In 2015, I completed the Pilates instructor of the 1 st degree. In January 2017, I passed the exams
for the Pilates Instructor of the 2 nd degree.
In my view, Pilates is an amazing method that involves a unique set of exercises that activate the
right movement pattern and thus help people improve their quality of life. I am mainly focused on
clients with scoliosis.
I enjoy helping people and monitoring their own progress and performance increase or health
improvement with them.

Rado Cvik introduced me Pilates exercises, and I´m lucky, otherwise I would have searched for exercise "for me" in vain at this time. Yes, thanks to Rado and his passion for Pilates, I got to know this complex exercise. So, I have been practicing Pilates for several years (since 2014). I completed education as Pilates instructor on mat in 2021, in 2024 on reformer, chair and springboard, and I add to my education also DNS courses in 2024 – DNS sport I. and DNS Pilates.

What I enjoy most about Pilates is that it gives me sense during exercise, mine consciousness of my own body, consciousness of causes and consequences of our daily usual movements and the correct body adjustment during exercises. And I also enjoy being able to share this knowledge, whether you come in with a movement problem, pain or just fitness. I like to hear how others enjoy and fulfill Pilates, how it helps us. I am very surprised by the low level of awareness about this phenomenal exercise, and many times the senseless pigeonholing of Pilates exercise into the rules of suitability of exercise for the weakers and for the fairer sex.

That's why I would like to provide you with all the information and experience about Pilates, so that we can break the social barriers together, because this exercise is for everyone. At the same time, you will not learn from me what will miraculously help you with pain or fitness, I do not promise unrealistic results or other miraculous successes and shortcuts, because getting rid of bad habits is a long way to go. Pilates is also a physical exercise associated with effort and regularity, and together with endorphins it will make your day better. My aim is to direct you to the "Pilates way" so you can feel healthy, confident, and full of energy in your body.

"A lot of people think that Pilates is boring, and I really like to convince people otherwise. I loved Pilates right away. Not only will you discover muscles you didn't even know existed until now, but Pilates will clear your head and if I'm in a bad mood, I know I'll just "breathe it out" ϑ. Pilates is also great as a kind of psycho hygiene, great for removing incorrect movement stereotypes and years of inactivity. If Pilates becomes a daily part of your "routine" life, your physical condition will improve, your figure will become more beautiful, pain will be eliminated and you will feel FIT.
Pilates has found many new supporters in Slovakia in the last few years, it is becoming more and more popular. I came to this method completely by accident and also due to incorrect body posture, and I can say that I completely fell for it. It is a really great method and due to its variability, it is intended for young and old, physically active and less active - it is simply suitable for every individual.
I am fascinated by his adherence to the principles: concentration, precision, control, breathing and power center (power house, center of the body) and, above all, progress!

Pilates emphasizes engaging the correct muscle groups, correct posture, correct breathing, precise and consistent execution of individual exercises. It focuses on stretching shortened and strengthening weakened muscle groups.

It's been more than 10 years since I got to know Pilates. At school, at work and at home, I was sitting all the time, and I didn't move much even in my free time. My spine started to hurt, especially the chest and neck part. When the pains got worse and started to limit me during sleep and short walks, I said to myself: enough is enough. I started trying different exercises - from strength training, through zumba and aerobics, to yoga and Pilates. I felt the biggest change after Pilates. After the first lesson, I had muscle soreness even in parts I didn't know existed. 😊 However, it was like a "balm" for my back, I felt better and started to stretch more during the day. After a few hours, the pain started to subside and I noticed that my digestion was better and my clothes were less tight. This further motivated me to stick to this exercise.
 
In 2019, I decided to spread the positive effects of Pilates and start teaching Pilates. That's why I took part in an accredited course and got a certificate of Degree I Pilates Instructor. In 2020, I completed a workshop focused on exercise with aids, and in 2023, I expanded my qualifications with a Reformer Pilates Instructor certificate.

I really enjoy doing Pilates and I like to dispel the myths that Pilates is just a form of stretching and you don't sweat. I will show you that by regularly practising Pilates we can strengthen every part of the body, learn to concentrate and breathe more deeply, as well as increase fitness and flexibility. All this will contribute to your physical and mental condition to make you feel fitter.

I started doing Pilates in my spare time because I was looking for an effective and sustainable way to strengthen my body and improve my flexibility. After reading many positive reviews, I decided to try this particular form of exercise. After just a few lessons, I started to feel positive changes in my body, especially in terms of strength, stability and correct posture.
For me, Pilates has become not only a form of exercise, but also a lifestyle. His approach to movement, breathing and conscious body behaviour convinced me that it is more than just physical activity - it is a path to overall comfort and a better life. For me, teaching Pilates is not just a job, but a passion and a way to inspire people to become more aware of their bodies and improve their lifestyles through movement.

Hello! My name is Viki and Pilates has become my passion. Since childhood, I have been struggling with severe scoliosis which has worsened over time. I went through many physiotherapists and finally realized the only way to get rid of the pain was to exercise regularly.
Pilates came to me as the most interesting exercise out of all the exercises I tried. Since I started it, the pain has gone away significantly and I feel much better. This positive influence inspired me so much that I decided to become an instructor. I did my Pilates course in Vienna and now I am looking forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with you.
What fascinates me the most is how subtle the movements in Pilates are but at the same time they have a huge effect. My goal is to show you that Pilates can greatly improve everyday life and bring inner balance.

I am looking forward to working with you!

My attitude to sports was not always what we call “perfect”.
I didn't like physical education during high school and I used to look for some ways how to circumvent the lessons. I never ran the "twelve" and the bar was just a prop in the gym for me. My PE teacher was always shaking his head at me.
The turning point came during college when I started going to the gym and working out with a personal trainer. I was surprised to see my quick results, felt better in my own body and improved my fitness. Since then, sports have been an integral part of my daily life.
I did CrossFit intensively for three years, participated in amateur competitions and I enjoyed being a part of the community where people motivated each other. Breaking personal records brought me an immense joy.
I later quit CrossFit and I started to look for a milder form of exercise that would appeal to me. That exercise was Lagree, which I still do today. That's where I learnt about reformers, and in 2024 I signed up for a certified Pilates reformer instructor course.
If only my PE teacher knew about it today... :)
I love Pilates for its beneficial effects on spine, body posture and strengthening of the abdominal muscles—exactly what I need after a day spent at the computer. In my classes, I like to combine classic Pilates exercises with more strength-based elements.

I look forward to our classes!

Pilates is something I first started during pregnancy, when I was dealing with lower back problems. I was looking for something that would help with the pain—and Pilates turned out to be the ideal solution. After giving birth, I continued exercising, and over time it became a natural part of my life.

I enjoyed it, it fulfilled me, and I could see the difference in myself: back pain became less frequent, my posture gradually improved, my strength increased, and my overall feeling of movement got better. When I later started going to the gym, I noticed that in group classes many women were exercising incorrectly—or simply didn’t know better—and trainers often didn’t correct them or offer help. That’s when I thought that I would like to do it differently: to help people exercise properly and effectively.

I began with mat work, and after completing my certification I devoted myself fully to Pilates. After some time, however, I felt I wanted more. I wanted to move forward, keep learning, grow, and make this my main profession. Seeing people improve—how much they enjoyed it and how much they looked forward to class—confirmed for me that it truly mattered.

Today I can say that I go to a job I genuinely enjoy, that fulfills me, and that makes me happy. Pilates has become part of my life—just like movement in general. I’ve always loved sport, cycling, climbing, and an active lifestyle. For me, movement isn’t a duty, but a joy and a way to feel better—physically and mentally.

In my classes, I emphasize correct technique, mindful movement, and respect for the body. My goal is for everyone to gradually push their boundaries, feel stronger, healthier, and more confident—exactly the way Pilates helped me start to feel, too.

I love movement—I always have. My father led me to it, and I believe it will remain a part of me forever. There are many sports and many ways to move. What matters is trying to do them correctly. And for me, Pilates is the way to live movement functionally in everyday life. It is not just about the mat or the reformer; it is about learning to perceive your body, the coordination of your muscles, and your breathing, and then transferring that into real life.

For me, Pilates is a way to move more efficiently, with better coordination, in a healthier way, and to fully apply these qualities in the ordinary activities of daily life. I discovered it only after having children, when I experienced the fullness of this movement practice in my own body and was captivated by its meaningfulness. Today, I try to pass it on to others while also continuing to grow through education in this field, allowing myself to be surprised by what else I may still discover.

In 2024, I obtained a Level 1 Mat Pilates Instructor certification, and I am currently attending Stott Pilates courses in matwork and reformer training.

I look forward to seeing you, and I believe this practice will bring you joy as well—not only from working hard, but also from strengthening your body in a balanced way.
