Pilates Reformer
Pilates Reformer uses a spring-based machine to strengthen the deep muscles, improve posture and increase mobility. Discover our dedicated Pilates Reformer page.
Traditional Pilates Method
Mat Pilates, also known as traditional Pilates, is a form of physical exercise performed while standing or lying on a mat. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this method focuses on strengthening the deep core muscles, improving spinal mobility and developing body awareness.
In addition to its physical benefits, Mat Pilates improves posture, flexibility and balance. The exercises target the deep muscles of the abdomen, back and pelvis to promote optimal body alignment. This practice is suitable for all fitness levels and can be adapted to individual needs, whether for rehabilitation, muscle strengthening or general well-being.
Goal: burn calories and strengthen your muscles!
This one-hour class is divided into two parts:
Part 1: For 30 minutes, you will perform standing cardiovascular and muscle-strengthening exercises. Various types of equipment may be used, including weights, resistance bands and balls, or simply your own body weight.
Part 2: For 20 to 25 minutes, you will perform Mat Pilates exercises at a slower pace, combining strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, body awareness and breathing.
The class ends with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and relaxation.
Pilates MOTR is a variation of traditional Pilates that uses a MOTR apparatus Movement On The Roller.
This compact and versatile piece of equipment resembles a Pilates roller but offers functions similar to a Reformer, including cords, straps and adjustable resistance. Pilates MOTR combines elements of Mat Pilates, Pilates Reformer and Barre Fitness.
A basic level of physical fitness is recommended. Although the movements are accessible, this class is not recommended for people with significant injuries. It is ideal for improving strength, coordination and balance.
This method uses a Penchenat Pilates table in a horizontal or inclined position.
Pilates on the Penchenat Table is practised in a horizontal or inclined position. You will perform varied movement sequences that engage the entire muscular system. By targeting different areas of the spine, this workout provides intensive muscle strengthening. It can help improve posture and everyday physical endurance, while also supporting athletic performance.
Created by Philippe Penchenat, this method uses a Pilates table to strengthen the muscles, improve posture and flexibility, and develop better coordination and concentration.
Prenatal Reformer Pilates
A pregnancy-friendly class designed to strengthen the pelvic floor, relieve tension and help you move safely. Discover our dedicated Prenatal Reformer Pilates page.
Postnatal Pilates
A gentle and progressive class designed to help you regain strength, stability and mobility after childbirth. Discover our dedicated Postnatal Pilates page.
The instability of the ball challenges the body’s stabilizing muscles.
Often called a Swiss ball, this equipment provides an unstable surface that requires the body’s stabilizing muscles to work harder to maintain balance during each exercise.
This class strengthens the body’s centre, also known as the Pilates “powerhouse.” The exercises target the deep muscles of the abdomen and back, improving posture, stability and overall strength.

Strengthens postural muscles
We work all the major muscle chains of the body, from proximal to distal (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
The classes focus on spinal mobility through core control (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 exercises, guided by our breath, are executed slowly, with control and fluidity. The instructor provides students with invaluable details about the human body to help them better discover themselves. At the end of a class, we often feel lighter, taller and more energized!
The method focuses on strengthening the deep muscles of the torso, enhancing spinal mobility and developing body awareness.
The exercises combine strength, flexibility and mobility to help you feel freer in your body. We work with the rhythm of our breath to execute more fluid, controlled, and conscientious movement.
Pilates is excellent for people with back problems or as a preventive measure, as the majority of exercises are devoted to strengthening the abdominals and the back.
This discipline improves posture, reduces tension, relaxes the nervous system and makes you feel more balanced.

If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with a beginner-level Mat Pilates class. This will help you learn the basic movements, breathing techniques and vocabulary before trying other forms of Pilates.
MOTR Pilates is practised with a cylindrical piece of equipment called a MOTR, which combines the functions of a Pilates roller with straps and adjustable resistance. This practice draws inspiration from Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and Barre. It particularly challenges strength, coordination, balance and the stabilizing muscles. A basic level of physical fitness is recommended.
Mat Pilates is practised on a mat, primarily using your body weight and sometimes accessories such as balls, resistance bands or Pilates rings.
Reformer Pilates uses a machine equipped with a moving carriage, springs and straps. The equipment allows the resistance to be adjusted while supporting the movements.
Both practices help develop strength, mobility, posture and body awareness. An introductory session is required before attending a Reformer Pilates class.
You do not need to be flexible, athletic or already in shape to start Pilates. The exercises can be adapted to each person’s level and abilities.
To learn the fundamental movements, we recommend starting with a beginner-level Mat Pilates class. Always inform the instructor of any injuries, limitations or specific needs before the class begins.
Pilates can help strengthen the deep muscles, improve posture and develop mobility and body awareness. These benefits may help some people better manage back tension or discomfort.
Pilates is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have persistent pain, an injury or a specific medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before starting and inform your instructor.
We offer prenatal classes specifically designed for pregnant women. You can attend these classes from the first weeks of pregnancy until delivery. Approval from your doctor is strongly recommended and required if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant.
