Each Mat Pilates class will work to balance all muscle groups’ strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on challenging the core muscles with each movement. Mat Pilates is a challenging, yet safe, method to sculpt your body and increase agility in your everyday movements.  Please bring a mat to class.  Any other equipment will be provided.

Joseph Pilates developed this exercise methodology in the early 1900’s to help fellow internees in a German national camp in England and, later, World War I veterans injured in the war. Later, Pilates brought his exercise to the United States. Mat Pilates is a way to stretch and strengthen your body, primarily the muscles of the core.
