A Matwork class is an all round conditioning activity that unites the fundamental principles of the Pilates Method

Trained matwork instructors will lead you through a series of co-ordinated exercises based upon the classical repertoire of Joseph Pilates. Evolved to incorporate new methods appropriate for bodies of today, a strong emphasis is placed on core stability - strengthening the abdominals to create a strong, healthy functioning spine. Classes are floor-based and for maximum effect. Body in Mind classes are limited to 12 people per session.

Matwork classes are run at a range of levels and Body in Mind Ltd will advise you at which level is appropriate for you to enter. Exercises are programmed for the whole body to create a balanced workout.

The Pilates Method employs a series of fundamental principles to approach all exercise. They help to focus the workout, making the programme specific and efficient, therefore encouraging better and more lasting results. Once practised, these Fundamental Principles can be adopted to support movement in every-day life.
