Align, Breathe & Control: The Fundamentals and Principles of Mat Practice with Stacy Wheeler
Saturday, June 13, 2026 • 1:00-2:30pm • $40 per person
This introductory workshop offers a supportive space to explore the foundations of Pilates. We’ll begin with a brief overview of the history of Joseph Pilates’ method and the key benefits of maintaining a consistent practice for longevity and strength.
The majority of the session will focus on learning and practicing the core principles that underpin the classical Pilates mat series. We will explore how these pillars create the "Powerhouse" of the body:
Alignment
Breathwork
Concentration
Control
Precision
After exploring these principles, participants will be guided through beginner-level exercises from the original 34-exercise mat sequence. You will receive hands-on learning, individualized support, and plenty of time for questions to ensure you feel the work in your own body.
What to Expect:
In this focused, educational workshop, you will:
Explore the history and benefits of the Joseph Pilates method.
Identify how core principles serve as the foundation for every movement.
Practice beginner-level exercises with a focus on precision and safety.
Learn to build confidence and body awareness to support your future practice.
Class Details:
Whether you are brand-new to Pilates or looking to deepen your understanding of the fundamentals, this workshop will help you build a strong foundation for movement on and off the mat.
Cancellation Policy: To receive a full refund, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice are non-refundable.
