What is a Pilates matwork class?

Matwork classes use minimal equipment (typically just a mat, or sometimes a few small portable items). Matwork classes can be one-to-one, in small groups, or in large groups, depending on the location and the requirements of the participants.  

In a matwork class, the participants follow the instructions and demonstrations of the teacher.  Classes are typically either 60 or 75 minutes in length and consist of a variety of exercises selected from the Pilates repertoire.

Charles can teach matwork classes at home, for example when there is a specialised requirement such as rehabilitation after surgery or injury.  Please contact Charles if you would like more information or wish to book a private matwork class.

​How can I attend a matwork class?

For drop-in matwork classes, you can just arrive at the venue (allowing enough time to pay, get changed, etc.).  However, some classes get very busy so it can be a good idea to reserve your place in advance.  For some classes you must pre-book (see notes above).  You can use the links above to find details of location, prices, or to book a place.  Prices are set by the individual venues.  Often, discounts are available if purchasing multiple classes.  See the venue website for details.​
