Join Us for March MATness at PCS
Join Us for March MATness at PCS! Founded by classical instructor Benjamin Degenhardt in 2012, March MATness pays homage to the foundational Pilates mat exercises created by Joseph Pilates himself. It's a global celebration of the timeless art of traditional mat work, which forms the FOUNDATION of Pilates.
Why Pilates Mat Work? Pilates mat work isn't just about physical exercise—it's a journey of self-discovery and connection. Feedback from the mat and the force of gravity provide unique challenges that require you to engage muscles, stabilize joints, and find balance. Without additional apparatus, you're challenged to connect deeply with your body and breath, fostering a greater awareness of movement patterns and alignment. Pilates mat work is the ultimate test of strength, control, and precision, empowering you to conquer obstacles on and off the mat.
FREE MAT CLASSES the first weekend of March! We're offering two FREE mat classes to kick off our March MATness celebration. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to Pilates, these classes are open to all levels and provide the perfect opportunity to experience the magic of Pilates mat work.
Check our schedule! We've sprinkled mat and mat fusion classes across our schedule all month. We can't wait to share our newest offerings with you.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to celebrate March MATness with us! Reserve your spot now by visiting our schedule here. See you on the mat!
New Class Times on Wednesday Afternoons
Starting March 1, 2024 our 5:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. classes will be changed to 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. If you have a specific class time or format request you can submit it to info@pilatescollectiveslo.com.
