MAT PILATES

WHY CHOOSE MAT PILATES?

Origins of Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is the original form of the method developed by Joseph Pilates. Long before the famous Reformers were created, Joseph Pilates taught his method on the floor, using nothing but a simple mat and a few small props. This approach laid the foundation for the method as we know it today.
