What are ‘Pilates Matclasses’ and ‘Studio Pilates’ ?

mat2Pilates matclasses are Pilates exercises done on an mat using either just your own body, or small pieces of Pilates equipment such as resistive bands, little squashy balls, the magic circle, and the foam roller. If you are coming to the studios for mat classes, you are asked to bring with you your own exercise mat, medium exercise resistive band, and small squashy Pilates ball, plus an exercise block if you need one for propping.

Studio Pilates is the original way to do Pilates, with individual teaching and the use of the large apparatus Joe Pilates created. Hundreds of exercises are possible on each piece of equipment. A class is designed around your individual requirements and we teach using a mixture of matwork and apparatus exercises. We work with people of all ages and levels of fitness, from people with chronic conditions such as MS, osteoarthritis, post-stroke, Elhers Danlos, to  people with no injuries who want to get the benefits of Pilates as part of their fitness, mental andf physical.

The large equipment gives an extra dimension to Pilates as it builds muscle faster with resistance, develops your range of movement and the spring-system feedback challenges your propriception, balance and control. Studio sessions can be bought in blocks – which gives you a price reduction – or as one-off classes.
