Pilates Mat Class London

Welcome to Pi Pilates, where we dedicate ourselves to the art and science of Pilates, focusing particularly on the transformative potential of Mat Classes. Our classes are designed to cater to various levels of experience and fitness, ensuring everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners finds value and challenge in their workouts.

Understanding Mat Work Pilates

At the heart of our practice is the Pilates Mat work—a powerful exercise regime that utilises your body weight against gravity to build muscle strength and coordination. Through these classes, you can expect to enhance your core strength, improve spinal articulation, and increase both hip and shoulder mobility.

Levels and Progression

For newcomers, starting with Level 1 (L1) provides a solid foundation, enabling you to understand and perform the exercises correctly before advancing. As you grow more confident and capable, moving up through the levels becomes a rewarding journey of personal fitness.

Consistency and Routine

Our classes follow a consistent sequence of exercises, including well-known ones like The Hundred, The Abdominal Series, and The Teaser. This structure not only helps build familiarity and consistency in your routine but also ensures comprehensive development across your body’s capabilities.

Mat with Magic Circle | Levels 2 & 3

Enhance your practice with the Magic Circle—a tool developed by Joseph Pilates himself. This small but effective implement helps deepen the connection to your core muscles, supporting better balance, control, and postural awareness. Incorporating the Magic Circle into your routine intensifies the challenge and enriches the workout experience.

Mat Archival | Levels 2 & 3

Experience the traditional way Joseph Pilates trained with our Archival Mat classes. These sessions incorporate a blend of classic and archival exercises, bringing a fresh and dynamic challenge to your routine. Expect to feel both challenged and invigorated as you engage in these powerful workouts.

Benefits Across Levels

Participating in our Pilates Mat Classes offers numerous benefits beyond physical fitness, including enhanced mental focus and a profound sense of body awareness. Regular practice ensures a robust and supple body, equipped to handle the demands of everyday life and then some.
