Are you looking to strengthen and tone, boost flexibility and improve co-ordination all on one machine? Sounds impossible, right? Well it’s not – it’s called the Garuda Apparatus. Here, we explain why Pilates buffs are obsessed.

Developed by James D’Silva in London, the Garuda Method (using the Garuda Apparatus) combines the principles of Pilates, yoga, tai chi, martial arts and dance into one next level sequence of movements.

‘Blending the spirituality, pranayama and asana practice of yoga, the core strength and focus of Pilates and the balletic grace of dance… to create a new fluid, hybrid method of movement.’ 

So, what is the Garuda Apparatus?

What makes the Garuda Apparatus unique is that it’s made up of a single machine. Cleverly designed by D’Silva and his team of engineers, Garuda combines three pieces of Pilates equipment: The Reformer, the Wundachair and the Cadillac, making the combinations of exercises that can be performed virtually limitless.

Stronger, leaner and more toned!
