Mat Pilates Classes in Kansas City
The mat Pilates classes at Pilates 1901 serve as the basis for the Pilates method. With mat classes, it’s easy to flow from one movement into another, and it’s also a great way to incorporate cardio into your workout. In a mat workout, you use your own body weight and gravity as resistance and learn how to have great control over your core and limbs without the use of equipment.
Reformer Pilates Classes in Kansas City
Did you know that the original reformer built by Joseph Pilates was made of a bed frame, mattress springs, and rope? He called it the “bednasium.” True story! Over the years, Joseph Pilates modified his invention until it became the sophisticated and efficient reformer we know today. It consists of a narrow bed on a sliding platform, along with a system of cords and pulleys. With the assistance of the reformer, you can achieve additional stretches than in a mat class.
