The mat work

Precision is one of the key principles of Pilates. At INSPIRE, with no more than 7 students in our mat classes the client enjoys the individual attention of the instructor who can correct starting position, alignment and movement patterns – thus ensuring the precision that is so important in Pilates. Limiting class size also ensures class safety.

The mat work includes dozens of exercises at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. At INSPIRE, we add exercises inspired by other movement modalities (Feldenkrais, physiosynthesis, etc ...) to prepare the body for a safer and more effective Pilates workout.

The use of accessories (balls, elastic bands, rollers, magic circles) adds an element of fun and allows the client to explore different muscle engagement.
