Inside Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates is the classical repertoire on the floor: bodyweight, breath and a small amount of equipment. There are no springs to hide behind, so the work is honest.
We use a magic circle, light bands and a 2 kg ball to add load where it helps. Fifty minutes, groups of eight to ten, taught with the same corrections you get on the reformer.
Who it is for
- People who want a strong core without machines
- Reformer members adding a second session in the week
- Anyone travelling often who wants a practice they can repeat anywhere
- Beginners comfortable working on the floor
