This Pilates mat class is based on the six classical Pilates principles of concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision, and fluidity. The class introduces the essentials of Pilates and the key bodily connections that strengthen the core, allow the limbs to move more freely and naturally, improve posture, and enhance alignment.
Varying the tempo and rhythm of each exercise can either challenge the body or allow more time to sense and observe the quality of movement. It is an all-around workout that gives participants the opportunity to focus on their bodies in motion, recognise habitual movement patterns, and explore new ways of moving with greater efficiency and awareness.
