MAT PILATES AT YOGAVENUE

About Mat Pilates 

Mat Pilates is a strengthening and lengthening form of exercise that focuses on your core (trunk) muscles while also training your arms and legs. Mat Pilates is based on the original exercises developed by Joseph Pilates developed to strengthen his own body as a young man. It has grown hugely in popularity over the years and a great compliment to yoga as well as a movement practise on its own.

There are many benefits of mat pilates including improved posture, better coordination and balance, increased lung capacity, improved concentration and focus, increased body awareness, stress management, and injury prevention.

Mat work is a great choice for all levels of Pilates practitioners because they are low intensity and the exercises not only can build in difficulty, but every exercise can also be modified to decrease or increase the level of challenge.

Practicing Mat Pilates helps build a strong, balanced body and increases flexibility. As you progress in your practice, you will notice improvements in breathing, focus, and body awareness.
