4. What type of mat is recommended for Mat Pilates?

We recommend thicker mats, preferably 1/2 inch or 10mm, for a more comfortable experience. Mat Pilates often involves floor exercises, and a thicker mat provides additional cushioning and support. Thicker mats help reduce pressure on the joints and spine, making the practice more enjoyable and effective.

Our Mat Pilates classes typically last around 45-minutes, including warm-up and cool-down exercises.

6. What should I wear to a Mat Pilates class?

Wear comfortable, breathable workout attire that allows for a full range of motion. It's recommended to avoid overly loose clothing to ensure proper form during exercises. Mat Pilates, are often done barefoot. Practicing barefoot allows for better connection with the mat, enhances stability, and promotes a more grounded feeling during exercises. This barefoot approach helps participants maintain balance and control while engaging the muscles of the feet. While being barefoot is common, some individuals may choose to wear grip socks for added traction and foot support. Grip socks have non-slip soles, providing stability without the need for shoes.
