Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is a bodyweight class on the mat built on the core principles of Pilates: breath, centring, control and flow. Classic sequences work the deep abdominal muscles, back and hips in a balanced way.

Throughout the class, movements are slow and controlled, with every rep synchronised to the breath. When needed, small props such as a ball or band are used to make movements easier or harder.

Mat Pilates strengthens the foundation of your reformer practice and helps you stand taller and more comfortably in daily life. Sessions in the cool of the late afternoon are also ideal for shaking off the day's fatigue.
