We believe that mat work is the foundation for all other work. All the basic techniques you need to learn can be taught without the use of any equipment. Simple exercises become challenging as your technique and precision improves. We hope that by building a strong technical foundation on the mat, you will then be able to apply that technique to many other areas – for example, how you lift weights at the gym, how you handle your mountain bike, surfboard or baby carrier, or how you work out on our larger pilates equipment. We want you to become body aware and self-reliant, and mat work is a great place to start.
We’re thrilled to offer you the opportunity to experience working on our larger pilates equipment. We have a reformer, cadillac, ladder barrel, wunda chair and spine corrector. They may initially look intimidating, but these spring-based systems are versatile and fun to exercise on. They provide resistance and support and a strong, unique workout. Equipment classes are reserved for private clients and small groups who already have competent mat technique. Since we believe that mat work is essential, our equipment classes will always be a mixture of mat work and equipment, and we do not put beginners directly on the equipment.
Néna is passionate about helping people find comfort, joy and connection in their yoga practice, and in life. As an experienced vinyasa yoga (that is, flow yoga) teacher, she is confident teaching absolute beginners, and going through the basics step by step.
