Pilates Mat
Pilates Mat is a low-impact exercise system that focuses on strengthening and toning the body through controlled movements and breathing techniques. Using only a mat, it targets your core muscles—your abs, back, and hips—while also engaging other muscle groups for a balanced, full-body workout.
Our Pilates Mat class is perfect for all fitness levels! Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, the class offers modifications to challenge you at your own pace. Our experienced instructors will guide you through each movement, ensuring you perform each exercise with proper form and technique
