pilates on the mat

Clients love mat classes at the studio for a few specific reasons and many book to join multiple times a week. The smaller group environment, moving together in flow, the personalised approach to each clients needs and everyone feels very welcome (not my words, theirs!). There are always laughs because we know how to take the work seriously but not ourselves and this is a really important mindset for a beginner.

Group classes can also offer an immersive distraction from our busy external worlds. At the beginning of each session, we ask participants to focus inwards, catch their breath and see if they can identify and then if they are ready, use the breath work to find release from physical and mental tension. Then we move, using the principles of Pilates.
