Beginner-friendly Mat Pilates at Aura Glo Studio — the foundation of the Pilates method, built around core strength, posture and body awareness.
Mat Pilates is the foundation of the Pilates method — bodyweight and small-prop exercises performed on a mat, focused on building core strength, improving posture, and developing the breath-to-movement control that everything else is built on. It's an ideal starting point if you're new to Pilates, and just as valuable if you're an experienced mover looking to deepen your practice.
At Aura Glo, our Mat classes are led by qualified instructors in small groups, so you get genuine hands-on cueing rather than getting lost in a crowd. Expect a full-body class working through core, glutes, back and shoulders, with options to make every movement easier or more challenging depending on where you're at.
Because it requires no machinery, Mat Pilates is one of the most accessible ways to build strength and body awareness — and it pairs well with Reformer if you want a well-rounded routine.
questions
Before your first session.
Yes — Mat Pilates is the most beginner-friendly class we offer. It's low-impact, requires no equipment experience, and every exercise can be modified to your level.
Mat Pilates uses bodyweight and small props on the floor, while Reformer Pilates uses a spring-resistance machine for added resistance. Both build core strength and control — Mat is a great place to start, and many members do both.
Just yourself, comfortable activewear and a water bottle. We provide mats and all props.
Most members see the best results training 2–3 times a week, but even one class a week builds noticeable core strength and postural awareness over time.
