Why doesn Pure Joe teach mat-only classes?
We teach the original method as was developed and proven successful by Joseph Pilates. While the mat work is an integral part of your workout, it also requires the most body awareness and skill as a Pilates practitioner. It is also the easiest aspect to “cheat through” because of it’s complexity. We strive to inform our clients’ bodies first by using the apparatus and then the client can apply that information to his/her matwork. In our small group classes, we make sure that cadillac work is always done so that even “mat students” receive the benefits of the apparatus with their matwork.
