*Learn to move effectively and efficiently during work and play
*Increase your mind-body awareness
*Helps counteract poor posture from manual work, driving or sitting at a desk
*Can reduce aches, pains and back pain
*Increases flexibility creating longer, leaner more agile muscles

*Improves core abdominal and back muscles.
Suitable for men of all ages and abilities and in a relaxed atmosphere you are encouraged to work at a pace and level that suits you.
Classes are restricted to male participants only.

Testimonials:
“I have attended Angela’s Men on Mats classes since their inception some years ago. To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect and like most men had preconceived ideas about pilates. I’m glad to say that Angela dispelled these ideas through her very professional approach to the classes.
I am now 80 years of age and I find the Men on Mats sessions to be beneficial to my everyday health. They make me work parts of my body that generally feels good not through excessive physical effort but controlled and balanced effort. Angela’s instructions are clear and she offers a variety of options to perform the task in hand. She is especially mindful of any of the group who have particular health issues where some exercises may not be appropriate.
There is a good feeling amongst the small group who regularly attend and Angela plays a big part in that positivity. Long may Men on Mats continue”.

“I have been attending Angela’s men on mats class for several years now and have to say it’s improved my wellbeing and is ideally suited to men of my age ( I’m 71). I find the exercises we do are geared to challenge us individually but I think we all appreciate it once our session finishes for the day”.
