02 Why Garuda at RAIA
Weekly check-ins, online or in person, for free. Included with your Garuda Method teacher training in Jakarta.
03 The method
Garuda explores movement on the mat, the Reformer, the barre and every apparatus, in dynamic choreography and sequences. It combines the strength of Pilates, the breath of yoga, and principles from many movement methods, such as the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais and Gyrotonic.
Garuda incorporates:
Familiar at first, different underneath
The first time people try Garuda, it can feel familiar. Some say it reminds them of yoga, or of Gyrotonic.
The deeper you go into its principles, the more you see how different it is. Garuda combines principles from many methods, and focuses not only on physical rehabilitation but on the mind-body connection.

06 Testimony
In their own words
Graduates and students on what learning Garuda felt like.
"Through the method, movement just makes sense. It's new, it's beautiful, it gets the body to move in such 'oneness' as it should."
Aileen DonPilates instructor of 2 years
"I've been doing Pilates for over 10 years now, but my body has always stayed rigid. The Garuda method gets my body moving the way it should, with so much grace and flow. I love it so much."
Amanda NatDoctor, Indonesia
"It's only after I did Garuda that movement finally made sense to me. Even after being a dancer for so long, I fell in love with movement again."
Anabelle ChristinaResearch and Development, Raia Instructor Academy. Garuda graduate, first batch
From our classes
"This is my first time doing Garuda, and I love it so much."
Charmel YPilates instructor of 7 years
"As a client at the age of 78, this movement is exactly what I need. I feel lighter inside and outside the studio."
Maria WClient, 78 years old
"Learning this method is very eye opening, we're always so caught in the flexion or extension, but never taught enough about how to move the body as a whole. And this is what Garuda is all about. Just amazing. Everyone should try this"
