Matwork Pilates is a type of Pilates practice performed on a mat, it focuses on using body weight and sometimes small props, such as resistance bands, Pilates rings, or balls, to build strength, flexibility, and control.
The exercises are designed to engage the core muscles, improve posture, and enhance overall balance and coordination.
Matwork Pilates emphasises precision and controlled movements, with a strong focus on breathwork to support each exercise.

Yoga
Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness to promote mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Originating in ancient India, yoga is deeply rooted in philosophy, aiming to unite the mind, body, and spirit through its various techniques. The physical aspect of yoga, known as "asanas," consists of poses that improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
Breathing exercises, or "pranayama," help calm the mind and regulate the body’s energy.
Meditation and mindfulness practices are integral to yoga, fostering a sense of inner peace, self-awareness, and clarity. Yoga offers a diverse range of styles, from the slow, meditative pace of Hatha and Yin yoga to the dynamic, flowing sequences of Vinyasa and Ashtanga, making it adaptable to various preferences and fitness levels.
