Mat Pilates.

Mat Pilates is a versatile movement practice that focuses on strengthening the core, increasing spinal mobility, and incorporating full-body exercises with control and precision. At SOMA, mat Pilates classes will involve challenging, but adaptable Pilates exercises designed for active adults seeking improved overall strength, balance and flexibility.

Mat Pilates Class Offerings

  • Designed for all-levels of Pilates movers! Using props for support or a challenge, this class will involve slow, intentional exercises following progressions so you build to a level that fits your practice.

  • Intermediate/Advanced class. Designed for the active adult seeking athletic moves combined with Pilates concepts and focused core strengthening. Weights, athletic programming (e.g., AMRAP, EMOM) and multiple circuits will be involved. Don't worry Pilates purists-- we won't forget the Series of 5 or The 100s!

  • This is the heart of SOMA Mat Pilates. Think yoga meets Pilates (no, not PiYo)-- repetitive and predictable Pilates exercises you will learn quickly. By using this method, you may not nail each move every time but your body will begin to anticipate each one, helping you build up to a solid mat practice. We won't follow the classical order but there will be classical exercises! Don't be intimidated by our use of "advanced"- just be prepared to come and LEARN, not perfect, these moves. We promise you will leave feeling empowered and more confident than you think. 

  • This class is designed to compliment your current fitness practice. During this class, you will gain insight into improving your body awareness and joint mobility, all while promoting tissue and joint recovery. We will incorporate principles of physical therapy, rehabilitation, and Pilates to offer you a fully restorative experience.
