Mat Pilates focuses on building strength, flexibility, balance, and control from the inside out. Exercises emphasise core support, proper alignment, breathing, and mindful movement, helping to improve posture and overall body awareness. While it may look simple, Mat Pilates is a powerful and effective practice that challenges the whole body and supports functional movement for everyday life
Reformer
is one of the most well-known Pilates apparatus and was designed by Joseph Pilates to create strength, control, and balance throughout the body.
Using a moving carriage and adjustable springs for resistance, the Reformer supports the body while also providing challenge, making it suitable for all levels. Exercises are performed lying down, seated, kneeling, or standing, helping to build deep core strength, improve posture, increase flexibility, and encourage smooth, controlled movement.
