Mat Pilates Workshop Event

34 Original Mat Exercises in Sequence + Technique Masterclass with Natalia Lesinska

Pilates originated over a hundred years ago and was called Contrology, specifically designed as a system of mind - body conditioning that includes both mat work and specialised equipment, with the equipment (such as the Reformer) practised at the studio, and the mat intended to be practiced as “homework.”*

The mat exercises are part of a system performed in a specific order, and during this workshop you’ll:

✨Learn each movement in sequence, including the transitions

✨Develop technique, along with practical tips for each exercise

✨Build your Pilates knowledge so you can confidently practise mat original exercises between your Reformer classes

✨Support and enhance your progress in your Reformer classes
