Joseph Pilates originally developed his method as Mat exercises, using gravity as the resistance force. As he developed his technique during his internment through WW1 he devised several pieces of apparatus to help people “get the method in their bodies”. Each piece of apparatus has its own repertoire of exercises many of prepare you for to the Classical Matwork Routine. The use of adjustable springs to provides resistance which challenges the muscles in new and positive ways.
Your teacher will modify both the Apparatus and the exercises given, to suit your individual needs, and will also continue to tailor your class to your needs as you progress.
Apparatus Classes cost a little more than Matwork Classes. This reflects the smaller class size, the advanced Pilates training required to teach at this level, as well as the use of the state of art equipment at your disposal.
