Mat Pilates

Pilates mat work, also known as Pilates mat or traditional Pilates mat work, is a method of physical exercise practised standing on a mat. Pilates is a form of fitness developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. The method focuses on strengthening the deep muscles of the trunk, enhancing spinal mobility and developing body awareness.

Here are the benefits of Mat Pilates:

  • Strengthens postural muscles: We work all the major muscle chains of the body, from proximal to discal (from the center of the abdominals to the extremities of the body). Postural muscles become stronger and more solid to support us in everyday life.
  • Improves mobility: Pilates focuses on spinal mobility through control of the abdominal core (also known as the “power house”). As Joseph Pilates said: “Do Pilates to have a spine as strong as a Greek spine and as flexible as a cat’s”.
  • Develops body awareness: all Pilates exercises, guided by our breaths, are performed slowly, with control and fluidity. The instructor feeds his students precious details about the human body, so they can set off on a journey of self-discovery. At the end of a Pilates class, we often feel lighter, taller and energized!

Pilates Cardio +

This one-hour class is divided into two distinct parts:

1st part: For 30 minutes, you will engage in standing cardiovascular and muscle strengthening exercises. During this initial phase, you will sweat and burn calories. We sometimes use various equipment (weights, bands, balls, etc.) to intensify the session, or simply your body weight.

2nd part: Over a duration of 20 to 25 minutes, you will focus on Pilates exercises on the floor, at a slower pace. You will perform movements that combine strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, body awareness, and breathing.

Finally, the class concludes with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to help you relax.

Here are the benefits of the Pilates Cardio + class:

  • Improvement of overall physical fitness: Standing cardiovascular and muscle strengthening exercises help improve endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular capacity.
  • Body strengthening and posture enhancement: Pilates exercises on the floor strengthen deep muscles, contributing to better posture, optimal body alignment, and greater stability.
  • Increased flexibility and relaxation: Final stretches help improve muscle and joint flexibility, while practicing Pilates on the floor at a slower pace promotes relaxation and mental relaxation.

MOTR Pilates

Pilates MOTR is a variation of Pilates using a portable and highly versatile device called MOTR (Mouvement On The Roller). This small device visually resembles a Pilates roller, but has the same features as a reformer (adjustable ropes, straps and resistance). Think of the Pilates MOTR as a combination of Pilates floor, Pilates Reformer and Barre Fitness.

Here are the benefits of Pilates MOTR:

  • Strengthens and tones the musculature: MOTR Pilates targets all muscle groups, especially the deep stabilizing, postural and peripheral muscles, promoting better posture and functional strength in daily life.
  • Improves flexibility: Exercises incorporate dynamic stretching and fluid movements that promote range of motion and flexibility of muscles and joints. This helps improve flexibility, joint mobility and overall body coordination.
  • Develops balance and coordination: MOTR Pilates uses both symmetrical and asymmetrical movements to stimulate proprioception, balance and coordination. Exercises emphasize stability and control, strengthening the mind-body connection and improving overall body awareness.

To take this course, you’ll need to be in good basic physical condition. All movements are accessible, but we don’t recommend this type of training if you have significant injuries. On the other hand, this class is perfect if you want to improve strength, coordination and balance.
