first time?
We understand it can be daunting, so we created our ultimate guide to Pilates. Keep reading for more!
It’s normal to feel unsure about starting new things, and we want you to know that all fitness levels and every body is welcome at Ma’at.
Book a studio tour with one of our owners to see our space, though from past experience, we will warn you that you may just fall in love!
What to expect
Our instructors are highly qualified so we can guide you through your practice with control and precision.
The Welcome Pack is the perfect way to experience all that we have to offer. We believe it takes a couple goes to see if your body likes it (and we guarantee it will!). We do things a little different here, coming back to the principles of the true pilates practice that works out your mind and body.
Beginner friendly group classes:
Mindful Movements Mat
Reformer Essentials

Hear from our lovely clients who started their Pilates journey with us...
"I’ve been going to Ma’at Studio Pilates for a couple of months now, and after never having done Pilates before, I’m honestly surprised by how much I love it. I really look forward to every session. I can feel myself getting better and stronger each week.
What I love most is how welcoming the studio is. I felt comfortable from day one, even though there are people there who are much stronger than me, I’ve never felt out of place. The whole space feels safe, supportive and relaxed, while still giving just the right amount of challenge.
It’s become such a calming, enjoyable part of my week. Highly recommend Ma’at Studio Pilates to anyone thinking of starting!"

"I’m new to the Pilates world and joined the Mat Mastery classes in the hope of strengthening my core.
Turns out I’m getting a challenging full body workout every visit.
The classes so far have been varied, always focussing on correct technique, and catering to our different fitness (and flexibility) levels.
The studio is a beautiful space with all the latest equipment.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and supportive.
Thank you for your expert guidance and patience Jas and Pene.
I’m enjoying the classes, feeling stronger, and looking forward to continuing my Pilates journey with you."
