YFLO Kolkata, under the leadership of Chairperson Anisha Juneja, hosted an engaging talk show, “Pilates on the Barge with Yasmin Karachiwala.” Ms. Karachiwala shared insights into her fitness journey and the principles of Pilates as a structured approach to movement and physical conditioning. The conversation highlighted the importance of consistency, body awareness, correct technique, and mindful movement in maintaining an active lifestyle.
Following the talk show, members participated in a guided, mat-based Pilates session led by Yasmin. The session introduced key Pilates principles such as core stabilisation, spinal alignment, controlled articulation, breath coordination, muscular endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular control. Emphasis was placed on engaging the core muscles, maintaining postural alignment, and synchronising breathing with movement to support stability and movement efficiency.
The event further supported YFLO’s MSME initiative by featuring seven exhibitors, providing women-led businesses with a platform to showcase their products, connect with members, and enhance brand visibility. The experience concluded with high tea and networking, bringing together wellness, lifestyle, and community engagement.
The experience also highlighted the role of Pilates in developing functional strength, improving balance, enhancing mobility, and building greater awareness of body mechanics. Set against the serene backdrop of the Ganga, the session offered members an opportunity to integrate fitness, mindfulness, and wellness into their everyday routines.
