Mat Pilates in Artesia, Ca

Mat Pilates: 

Pilates is an exercise system and method meant to build strength and mobility in your core, spine, and entire body. In Mat Classes, we use small props to aid, adapt, and challenge exercises. Mat Pilates at our Shala stays true to the STOTT Pilates method of moving the spine in all directions, strengthening muscles, and mobilizing all joints. 

​

Mat Pilates vs. Reformer Pilates: 

Refer to our blog for more! This is a common question. Both are equally transformative methods - but truly tailor to different needs. Mat is a great way to add conditioning into your fitness routine and/or yoga practice. 
Reformer is ideal for anyone looking for a more supported workout. The resistance springs and reformer design allow for targeted muscle control that may be harder to achieve on the mat. 

​

Why is there a limited schedule?

Mat pilates are small group classes, taught by co-founder and STOTT Certified Instructor Ankita. Mat is meant to complete your fitness routine and build a resilient body. Our schedule prioritizes yoga practice time but we provide enough slots at various times so that any member can add Mat Pilates to their routine and enjoy its practice!

 

What Level is the class?

Like all classes here at the Shala, we tailor it to you, offer modifications, but ultimately aim to deliver a holistic workout each session.
