Mat Pilates
Reformer Pilates
(coming soon)
Mat Pilates is a versatile form of exercise performed solely on a mat, emphasizing bodyweight resistance and controlled movements to enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness. While minimal equipment is required, common additions include:
1. **Exercise Mat:** Provides support for various floor exercises.
2. **Resistance Bands:** Adds resistance to target specific muscle groups.
3. **Pilates Magic Circle (Ring):** Provides resistance for various exercises.
4. **Small Props (balls, blocks):** Enhances support or intensifies movements.
5. **Pilates Strap:** Aids in stretching and flexibility.
6. **Weights:** added resistance and muscle toning. Mat Pilates caters to all fitness levels, offering a pathway to improved core strength, posture, and overall conditioning without the need for elaborate equipment.
Reformer Pilates provides a wide range of benefits, such as enhanced core strength, flexibility, posture, muscle tone, and mind-body connection. It’s also effective for rehabilitation and stress relief. The equipment used in reformer Pilates includes the reformer itself, which consists of a moving carriage, adjustable springs, straps, and pulleys. Additionally, accessories like the footbar, jump board, and hand/foot straps are commonly used to add variety and resistance to the exercises.
