This intermediate mat is focusing on the work of the inner thighs and the midline of the body. The magic circle is mostly used inside the legs to trigger that deep activation all the way up to the pelvic floor.

This is a fun and challenging mat sequence where we refer back to the plank in different positions. It will be intense and requires a good level of strength and some flexibility. Great when you are missing the reformer, you can use a towel or the sliders to re-create the movement of the carriage.

This is a little “untraditional” Pilates mat: we’ll work deep on the powerhouse and the posterior chain. The opening of the chest will always be a main focus when we are talking “red carpet”. But also glutes, abs and posterior chain play a very important role when we are work...

INT MAT SIDE BODY
Enjoy this intermediate Mat where we’ll focus on the side body: glue medius, side kicks, side planks and mermaids! The challenge will increase progressively so that it will be easy to build!

Great challenge to add to our intermediate mat! Deepen into the work of the powerhouse by adding 1 or 2 lbs. to your ankles.

This mat will teach that a prop, like the ball, can be used in many different ways. To lift the hips, lift the feet and to challenge your teaser.... We'll also roll the ball on the floor to emulate as if we are on the reformer. Leave out exercises if they are too advanced, move safely and have f...

In this mat we will hit the floor just a couple of times, to roll on the spine. Every other exercise will be standing or against the wall. It's interesting how the exercises will change, and the challenge will shift from what we are used to. Perfect posture workout to enhance your balance!

This is an intermediate/advanced mat that moves at a fast pace and is characterized by advanced variations of the exercises. Make sure to leave things out if they don’t suit your body.

In this intermediate Pilates mat, we'll focus on arms and upper body, adding a lightweight to some movements. You don't have to keep the wrist weight on the whole time like in the video, but you can grab the weights when relevant. Start with 1 pound and build up from there!

Can you believe that a 2 pound weight can make a difference? Try it out and you will feel how the little weights sometimes help and other times challenge and will change your movements. Be aware to stabilize even more from the core to work safely!

Are you working out exclusively in your apartment and you don't have a spine corrector available? In this class we have substituted the spine corrector with a slightly deflated small ball. We will place it behind the back and under the pelvis to have all the benefits of the round surface, like th...

Our lifestyle often leaves us dealing with tight hip flexors. The ilio-psoas is a very sophisticated muscle. Its fascia is in contact with the femur (leg) and ilium (hip), the spine (transverse processes and discs), and with the organs of the abdominal cavity. This muscle doesn’t tolerate too muc...

The reformer mat is always challenging, but we will make it more accessible. We will slow down the movements and use a couple of tools: a towel, rescue loop and 2 yoga blocks. This will create variety in our workout but will also help us to focus on imprinting the powerhouse to the floor safely!
