Pilates on the mat is a functional exercise system to aid you in your daily life while giving a taller, leaner physical appearance through improved posture. The emphasis on precise movement and good technique helps to develop mental focus, and offers an effective method of relaxation.
Using body weight only, or with the help of small props, you will challenge your core and strengthen your whole body. Our mat classes are expertly taught, upbeat and fun.
Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely and cover you appropriately throughout a range of movements. Usually a t-shirt or vest and shorts or leggings.
Matwork lessons last 50 minutes.
We teach small group mat classes of up to 10 students at our studio on Histon Road.
To be able to attend this class, you must be able to:
Perform a double knee fold with control.
Follow both verbal and visual instructions.
Easily get up and down from the floor.
Exercise safely without constant individual attention.
Safety and a positive experience in every class are our top priorities. There are three options, depending on your personal situation:
New to Pilates or needing a refresher: Our four-part Fundamentals Series is designed to equip you with the correct technique for success and confidence when you join a group. Alternatively, we also offer an online Mat Basics course that you can take to prepare yourself for these classes - just ask!.
Experienced Practitioners: If you are injury-free and confident with mat Pilates, you may join this class without requiring any preparatory lessons.
Injury Management: To ensure that you are familiar with any personal modifications, clients with active injuries must complete private lessons before joining a group.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the best introduction for your needs. Our classes are 50 minutes and take place at our studio on Histon Road.
If you are unsure whether you meet these criteria, we recommend that you work 1:1 with us first.
