What Is Mat Pilates and Why People Start Here

Mat Pilates is performed on the floor using controlled movements rather than the reformer beds. This style focuses on posture, breathing, and steady muscle engagement, making it a popular entry point for people who want to understand how their body moves and feels. It is a great place to learn the foundations of Pilates.

In our classes, you will explore:

How to engage your core without straining
Ways to improve balance and coordination

From the moment you step inside, every tiny detail has been thought of to create a relaxing experience - the stunning studio aesthetic, the meditation moment before you start your day, to the warm tea waiting after class (and the delicious Saturday sweet treats!) Jen and all of her instructors are wonderfully attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and so lovely. They design workouts that give you that satisfying pilates burn while always giving beginner-friendly options. Plus, the community is so inclusive and welcoming. Love Mind Flow!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jen from MindFlow Pilates was absolutely amazing! She came to our accommodation for a private Pilates class as part of our friend's hens, and it was one of the highlights of the weekend. She was so organised, thoughtful, and tailored the class perfectly to our group. We all had such a great time and would highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience!

The classes are small and intimate with personalised approach for you and your recovery. Jenn is also a physio so you know you are in good hands. Provided with lovely chairs and play mats for your baby to be comfortable and entertained throughout the class (also don’t worry if they are not, it’s a non judgment zone). The class ends with a beautiful meditation (if the babies are open to it) and a tea and chats with other mummas. What a beautiful place to be postpartum!

I know that the instructors are both qualified and caring - looking after each person in the class and ensuring modifications are available when required. I would recommend Mind Flow to anyone who is looking for a safe, inclusive, welcoming space to start or continue their Pilates practice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started at Mind Flow Pilates on 31 March with the 3 class introductory special, and honestly I nearly wanted to cry just doing something good for myself. As a middle aged curvy mum, it felt like a big step in self care and being more aware of looking after me so I can be the best for those I love. In the first few weeks I could only manage one class a week, but I looked forward to every session. It’s only been 16 sessions and I am already so much stronger and more confident. At the beginning I needed balance poles, and now I don’t need them at all. I am now attending twice a week and aiming for three. My first class with Indali left my muscles fully activated and I could feel it for a few days, in the best way. I then moved into Jen’s Gentle Strength and Flow and felt the benefits both mentally and physically. I now mix up my sessions weekly. The way I am taught and encouraged at my own level, with a great mix of class options catering to all levels and amazing instructors, has made me not hate exercise. Jen is a local young mum who has created something really special at Mind Flow Pilates, a supportive, welcoming community that truly values feeling good and being strong. Her impact goes far beyond fitness. Don’t be scared to come and try it, the environment is so warm and welcoming and you will be better for it. Invest in yourself and trust in what Jen is building. I have felt supported and encouraged every step of the way. This has been the best gift I have ever given myself. Thank you Jen.
