Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates class focuses on strength, stability, proper breath control, posture, and flexibility, primarily using body weight exercises.  Each class will work to balance all muscle groups’ strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on challenging the core muscles with each movement. Classes will be taught using slow, controlled movements. Mat Pilates is based on the original work of Joseph Pilates, which originated before the creation of Pilates reformer equipment or “machines” used in the practice today.  Mat Pilates can be modified for any age, body, or fitness level. Students will enjoy improvement in posture, balance, coordination, body awareness, injury prevention, and concentration.
