We offer private and group contemporary mat Pilates classes. Classes are grouped together by skill level – beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Private Lessons: 1-0n-1, duo, or trio Group Classes: 6 participants maximum Contemporary mat Pilates is a modern approach to Pilates that builds on Joseph Pilates’ original method while incorporating current research in anatomy, biomechanics, and movement science. It focuses on core strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and overall body awareness through controlled, low-impact exercises performed on a mat. Unlike classical Pilates, contemporary Pilates allows for greater adaptability, making it accessible to people of all fitness levels, body types, and goals. It emphasizes functional movement, proper alignment, and mindful breathing, helping participants improve both everyday movement and athletic performance.
