Vero Pilates

Our group classes are currently limited to four participants at one time and as such are designated “semi-private”. You will never feel lost in the crowd as your instructor will always be able to provide you with support and guidance with your specific needs and/or make modifications when necessary.

It may surprise some newbies to Pilates to hear that mat Pilates is actually the most challenging portion of the Pilates repertoire. Mat Pilates has unfortunately been marketed in many settings as a cheaper and “easier” form of Pilates to practice. This is not true. Practicing Pilates on the mat without the support and feedback of the equipment and springs is incredibly challenging when done correctly. You only have your body and gravity when you’re on the mat! And teaching mat work requires skill and ability. The equipment Pilates designed allows the person practicing to receive a tremendous amount of feedback as to where their body is in space, the amount of exertion required to execute the movement, and helps “lift us up” against gravity. The resistance of the springs also helps isolate specific muscle groups in order to make sure we are paying attention to the smaller muscles groups in addition to the bigger ones. A well balanced Pilates practice makes use of the mat and the equipment.
