This course is designed to give the student an internationally recognised core qualification in Mat Based Pilates as well as the skills to use teach Pilates classes to groups or individuals. 

WHAT IS PILATES MATWORK?

 

Pilates matwork is a series of exercises that are performed on a mat or a padded surface. These exercises were developed by Joseph Pilates and are designed to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and overall fitness. Pilates matwork involves a series of movements that target the muscles of the core, including the abdominals, back, and hips. The exercises are typically performed in a controlled and precise manner, emphasising the quality of movement over quantity.

 

Some common Pilates mat exercises include the hundred, roll-ups, spine stretch, single-leg stretch, double-leg stretch, criss-cross, and the plank. Pilates matwork can be modified for individuals with different fitness levels, making it accessible for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
