Hi ,
Welcome to The Mat Evolution. In this series, I will take you on an evolution of the Pilates matwork, building from beginners level through to more advanced exercises. I have carefully structured the classes so each one is a progression of the last, with the aim of progressing your physical ability as well as your understanding of the Pilates method.
If you aren’t sure of what level you are or where to start, this is the perfect series for you as you can start with Pilates Level 1 and move forward or regress where necessary, to suit your body.
Remember, you can repeat each class as many times as you like and doing this is a great way to work on your technique and build confidence and strength.
Enjoy!
Emma
