6. WHAT TO EXPECT
Mat Work
Your first few sessions will be on a mat, doing basic exercises that stress holding the core muscles of your body in place while moving your arms and legs in slow deliberate range of motion exercises. Beginning Pilates classes use only the student's body to generate resistance for the workout.
Breathing Exercises
As you move your limbs in deliberate motions you will be asked to pay close attention to your breathing. By inhaling and exhaling in a way that complements the motion of your body, the benefits of the exercises are maximized.
