Mat Pilates is a popular form of exercise that focuses on building core strength, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness. Unlike traditional Pilates classes, Mat Pilates is performed on a mat without the use of any machines. Though here at Arch Wellness Studio, some of our classes may incorporate small props such as yoga blocks, or foam rollers to add variety and challenge to the exercises. Here at Arch Wellness Studio, our yoga classes are the best way to learn yoga in Davao. But wait, there’s more! We also offer the best mat pilates classes in town. Here’s what you can expect in a typical Mat Pilates class:
Core Exercises
The core muscles are the focus of Mat Pilates, and the class will typically include a variety of exercises that target the abdominals, obliques, and back muscles. These exercises may include Pilates-specific moves like the “Roll-Up,” “Hundreds,” and “Criss-Cross,” as well as variations of traditional exercises like planks and crunches.
Flexibility Exercises
In addition to core work, Mat Pilates classes also include exercises that focus on improving flexibility and range of motion. These exercises may include stretches for the legs, hips, and shoulders, as well as exercises that promote spinal mobility.
Cool-Down
The class will end with a cool-down period, which includes gentle stretches and relaxation exercises to help reduce muscle tension and promote a sense of calm. This will help you stretch out your muscles and give you time to collect yourself before heading out of class.
Overall, Mat Pilates is a great form of exercise for anyone looking to improve their core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. It is a fun and effective way to stay healthy and fit. Other than our yoga sessions, you should also consider trying out our Mat Pilates classes.
