Mat Pilates focuses on core and muscle strength training, strengthening core muscle groups such as abdominal muscles, back muscles, and buttocks muscles. The difference between this class and yoga class is that it focuses more on exercising the core muscles, fluidity of the body movements. Through slow and smooth movements with abdominal breathing, you could fully mobilize the core muscles and joints, and will not stay in a static action like yoga. Practicing Pilates can help strengthen muscle power, improve stability and flexibility, flatten the abdomen, and relieve chronic low back pain and muscle instability.
This class is suitable for whom have no exercise habits, beginners, pregnant women, and people who want to lose weight/exercise.
墊上普拉提著重於核心及肌力訓練，強化腹肌、背肌、臀部肌肉等核心肌肉群。此課堂與瑜伽課堂不同之處是集中鍛鍊核心肌群，著重動作的流動性，透過腹式呼吸進行緩慢而流暢的動作，全面活動及訓練核心肌肉群與關節，而不會像瑜伽般維持靜態動作。練習普拉提有助增強肌肉力量、提升穩定性及靈活性、平坦小腹，紓緩慢性腰痛、肌肉力量不穩定性的問題。
此課堂適合平常沒有運動習慣人士、初學者、孕婦、有意瘦身/鍛鍊身體人士。
