Mat pilates is a class done on a mat with only your body weight, based on the classical movements developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. Breath, centring, flow, precision and concentration are the core principles of pilates.

What do you do in class?

Class begins with breath and spine warm-up, followed by classical movements such as the Hundred, roll-up, single leg stretch and spine stretch, plus side-lying series. Accessories such as a small ball, resistance band and pilates ring may be used.

  • Awareness of the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles
  • Spine mobility and flexibility
  • Improved posture and balance
  • A strong foundation for reformer classes

Who is it for?

It is ideal for people just starting to move, those who want to learn the basic movements before the reformer and those who want to practise at home too. The Mat Pilates Foundations class shows the steps slowly with explanations. Easy options are offered for older people, people carrying extra weight and those with limited flexibility.

Frequently asked questions

I have never exercised; is the reformer suitable for me?
Yes. Beginner-level classes teach the movement slowly and adjust spring resistance to you. The first trial class is free.
Is the trial class really free?
Everyone coming for the first time gets one free trial class. You can choose reformer, yoga or mat pilates; there is no further obligation.
What should I wear and bring to classes?
Flexible, fitted clothing; grip socks for reformer and mat classes. Mats, blocks, straps and reformer equipment are in the studio; a water bottle and small towel are enough.
How do I cancel a class?
You can cancel for free from your account or via WhatsApp up to 4 hours before the class begins; your credit is refunded. For later cancellations the credit counts as used.
Which classes can I attend while pregnant?
If your doctor approves, you can attend the Pregnancy Yoga and Pilates classes from week 12. To attend other classes in pregnancy you need to talk to the instructor beforehand.
