Course Outline

Mat Pilates is a whole body conditioning workout. Classes focus on improving strength, stability, mobility and flexibility. A great way to lengthen, strengthen and tone the body from the inside out. Classes are suitable for all levels, with a special focus on technique to ensure a safe and effective workout. Small props are often used to assist, challenge and add variety. Classes are designed to constantly evolve, so no two are ever the same. Please bring a mat and towel.
