The matwork was the first part of the repertoire of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates as a young man. These series of exercises performed on the floor using only a mat provide an invigorating and complete workout for the body while encouraging the core strengthening principles so valuable to spinal and joint health. The mat classes provide a group environment where exercises that are learned can be readily practiced at home or while traveling. We use a variety of techniques to enhance the matwork including the use of balls, bands, weights, stretching and breath work. Mat classes at Lotus Pilates are small, intimate sessions where each student can be given the proper attention and guidance. We provide all the equipment you need and offer flexible class passes that make scheduling classes easier and more affordable. Matwork classes are divided into 3 levels:

Level 1 Mat Class

For students brand new to Pilates or those who have had some Pilates experience in the past but need a refresher. We will learn how to apply the fundamental techniques to the basic exercises in the matwork repertoire including the introduction of some work with the flex-band and deep stretching. This class is ongoing and can be attended with any class pass.

Level 2 Mat Class

For students with more extensive Pilates experience. This class will move more quickly than Level 1 and incorporate more exercises from the matwork repertoire. This class is ongoing and can be attended with any class pass.

Level 3 Mat Class

An advanced and fast paced class that challenges the whole body.

Fees for scheduled Level 1, 2 & 3 Classes.

Fees for private & semi-private classes.
