Align, Breathe & Control: The Fundamentals and Principles of Mat Practice
This introductory workshop offers a supportive space to explore the foundations of Pilates. We’ll begin with a brief overview of the history of Joseph Pilates’ method and the key benefits of a consistent Pilates practice.
What to Expect:
The majority of the session will focus on learning and practicing the core principles that underpin the classical Pilates mat series—including
Alignment
Breath work
Concentration
Control
Precision
Participants will be guided through beginner-level exercises from the original 34-exercise mat sequence, with plenty of time for hands-on learning, questions, and individualized support.
Whether you are brand-new to Pilates or looking to deepen your understanding of the fundamentals, this workshop will help you build confidence, body awareness, and a strong foundation for future practice.
