Benefits of Mat Pilates for Active Kiwis 💯

Mat Pilates is a dynamic exercise method that focuses on controlled movements performed on a mat with precision and flow. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this discipline has evolved to become a cornerstone of fitness regimes worldwide, including here in Aotearoa.

This Level 3 class is ideal for active individuals looking to:

• Strengthen your core muscles - The exercises target your deep abdominals, back, and pelvic floor
• Improve flexibility and mobility - The flowing movements help maintain and enhance joint range
• Enhance posture and alignment - Regular practice helps correct imbalances from daily activities
• Prevent injuries - Building balanced muscle strength supports proper body mechanics
• Boost mind-body connection - The focus on breathing and precision movements improves body awareness

The equipment used in this class adds variety and challenge to traditional mat exercises. Foam rollers provide unstable surfaces to enhance balance and core engagement. Magic circles offer targeted resistance for arms, legs and core. Elastic bands help increase strength through varied resistance levels.

While this class is designed for those with good fitness levels, the principles of Pilates benefit participants at any stage of their fitness journey. The techniques learned can be applied to everyday movements, sports performance, and injury rehabilitation.
