Classical Mat Pilates (on converted Reformer beds)

The foundations of Pilates ­ and a brilliant way to deepen your practice

If you love Reformer Pilates, mat work is the perfect next step.

Our Classical Mat Pilates classes use reformer beds converted into mats (and can also be adapted to the floor). This gives you the space and support to focus on the original Pilates system ­ building strength, control, mobility, and body awareness from the ground up.

Many people assume the Reformer is the most challenging option. In reality, Mat Pilates can be just as demanding ­ and incredibly rewarding. When you combine mat and reformer, you start to feel how powerful the full Pilates method really is.

Mat Pilates FAQs

Is Mat Pilates easier than Reformer?

Not always. Mat can be deceptively challenging because you rely more on bodyweight and control (less spring assistance). We advise clients to try mat pilates as it really does give you a different challenge then the equipment

No, just let us know if you have any injuries or concerns so we can offer options.

Lennie, has been a great practitioner for my son. He has tourettes and ADHD and we are using the service to help calm his nervous system to lower anxiety on his body and help reduce his tics. Lennie is really lovely and takes her time to get to know you. Highly recommend.

I went into my osteopath appointment today with Sandra with a complex issue of recurring migraines and visual disturbance due to medically needing to withdraw from the medication that keeps them at bay. Sandra worked her magic, after treating neck and shoulder tension she went on to do some cranial work. I am amazed at the difference it has made. My head is no longer swaying and the headaches/migraines have been relieved. Thank you so much.

Sandra is very knowledgeable, professional and also very personable. She not only listened to my complaint about a local pain in my ankle, but also checked my posture, pelvic position and gave my lower body a full MOT. Be aware, though... she has fingers stronger than Superman! Having said that, she managed to sort out niggles I've had for ages on the spot, as well as created a treatment plan for that achy ankle. I can happily recommend Sandra for your next treatment.

Absolute power house of a session, I ache in all the right places, got the right level of support for where I am... and rapidly discovered I need to have a way more consistent support/program/level of focus to get back to the level of fitness I've been missing for a while. At 47, sitting on my ar$e all day doing what I do, helping everyone else, I realised it was time to kick my health and wellbeing back into gear and this session was a perfect starter... and I'm going back for more! Thank you for a stressful, for all the right reasons. whilst entertaining evening, thank you
