Mat and Reformer
What is the difference between Mat and Reformer Pilates?
The Reformer uses a sliding carriage and adjustable springs. The Mat uses your own bodyweight.
- Reformer: builds strength, alignment and control, with resistance that can challenge or support you
- Mat: focuses on control, mobility, stability and quality of movement
- Most sessions combine the two, along with the Cadillac, so the work suits your body and goals

Do I need any experience?
