Pilates Mat Classes
Fiona's Pilates Mat-work classes are designed to meet the needs of the group that she is teaching, so no two classes will be the same. These classes will help you develop strength, stability and tone. Whilst these classes are performed on the mat Fiona will often use small equipment to keep things interesting.
