The Pilates Cadillac ❤️

In group classes we use the Cadillacs in our Tower classes. The Tower is a more compact version of the Cadillac which allows for 90% of the ‘Caddy’ exercises to be done on there. You DO however miss out on a few fab things that only the Cadillac offers when you’re solely attending group lessons…

Here’s my insiders advice for anyone only doing group lessons…. Private lessons are where you’ll REALLY experience your Pilates progress!

• The lesson is tailored to you
• You have access to ALL of the apparatus
• 100% of the Cadillac’s capabilities are available to you
• You have our world class teachers TO YOURSELF to ensure you’re always getting the most out of every movement 🥵

If you haven’t done a private Pilates lesson before, or maybe it’s been a while… What are you waiting for?! Book yourself some YOU time ❤️

Mat. The heart of the Pilates Method ❤️ and a non-negotiable part of your movement schedule if you’re a Pilates lover.

Mat Pilates, when practiced consistently, will:
❤️ Improve your strength and flexibility
❤️ Boost your circulation
❤️ Challenge your co-ordination
❤️ Challenge your balance
❤️ Help you move with more ease in your day to day activities

Mat classes at our Clontarf studio are done on Classical Mats. These mats:
❤️ Have the optimum cushioning to support your spine in rolling exercises
❤️ Have a Foot Strap to assist opening the back with balance in the Roll Up and Neck Pull exercises
❤️ Have Dowels to help connect the arms to the back better in exercises, as well as open the chest
❤️ We have ALL supporting apparatus, big and small, to target specific movement goals. Sometimes they’re used to fire up a connection before doing the Mat exercises. Sometimes they’re used throughout the Mat lesson to keep a specific focus. Sometimes they’re used at the end of lesson to leave you aware of a particular focus for the hours and days after your lesson.

You have multiple ways to practice Mat Pilates with us:
❤️ Studio Mat - our group Mat classes. Just 9 participants so you’re individually seen within the small group
❤️ Private Lessons - always tailored to your individual needs and goals
❤️ Video Library - We have a library of Mat workouts that you can do anywhere in your own time

See you on the Mat ❤️

Our Classical Reformers are the PERFECT PARTNER to your Pilates practice ❤️ Intentionally designed to support and resist your movement in all the right places. Get ready to decompress your joints and fire up your centre 🔥

Experiencing authentic Pilates on true Classical apparatus for the first time was a game changer for me. The apparatus allowed me such a deep connection to my movement - so much so that I swapped out all of my studio apparatus from the more ‘popular’ styles you see everywhere! NOT a cheap swap out, but worth it to ensure you guys can feel it too ❤️

Want to experience it for yourself?! Come visit us in Clontarf, Dublin ✨

Ready to move up levels? We love to hear it!

When to move up levels is personal to everyone - have a chat with one of our teachers when you’re thinking of moving up and they can advise and get you ready for that! Once ready, EMAIL THE DESK (info@pilatescentre.ie) to tell us you’re ready and agree that you clear the pre-requisites to join.

We’ve set the booking system so it DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY allow high level bookings - we MANUALLY enable that at the desk. So DO MAKE SURE to chat to us when you’re feeling ready to move up ❤️

Springs or no springs?! Let’s look at what they were designed to do…

Joseph Pilates created the Mat order of exercises before any of the apparatus was designed. Guess what - Mat, done in the original way it was designed to be done, is HARD! For beginners - it’s the hardest part of the Pilates System! Joe was using his hands and his body weight to give people feedback on where to move from and also for help or resistance. He’s quoted as saying that he created the machines so he didn’t have to keep using use his own body, that the apparatus could give the feedback he gave! He said the springs were like extra muscles, they give the body extra support!

The apparatus - the SPRINGS - they’re your personal Pilates partner! They support you and assist you in some exercises. They give feedback to connect to the right places. They allow you to move in bigger ranges with control that you might not have yet without them.

Mat, nowadays, often gets broken down from the big movements it was designed to be. It made Mat Pilates more accessible to more people - amazing - BUT this can lead to the original intention of the exercises being lost 😢

So! If you’ve been doing broken down versions of Mat exercises and want to build up to doing the bigger expression of those… GET ON THE SPRINGS! With the support of the springs you’ll be able to move your body in it’s full range, with support and feedback. The springs will help you to build the strength and flexibility needed to do the big, natural, full body movements of the original Mat order.

So! Springs or no springs..? I say BOTH! Your body will get stronger, more flexible and more balanced with a combination of both.
