🍂 Getting back into it this autumn…

There’s something lovely about September and the start of a new season. The summer slows down, routines begin to return, and it feels like a good time to reconnect with your Pilates practice.

Whether your summer has been full of Pilates or you’ve had a little break, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back into the studio.

Our autumn timetable brings together all the different ways you can enjoy your Pilates:

🌟 Mat classes — back to the original work: Moving, strengthening and reconnecting with your body.

🌟 Total Studio classes — enjoying the full studio experience in a small group setting.

🌟 Group Equipment classes — building strength, control and confidence using the Tower, mat & spine corrector.

🌟 Private & semi-private sessions — continuing to develop your individual practice with focused guidance.

And there’s something else happening this autumn…

🎓 Romana’s Pilates Teacher Training — 2027 Intake

We’ll be holding an Information Day for anyone curious about the teacher-training programme and what the journey involves. A chance to come along, find out more and ask questions — whether you’re seriously considering training or simply interested in learning more about the method.

So, as we head into autumn, it’s less about starting over and more about getting back into it.

Back to your routine.
Back to the studio.
Back to moving well. 🍂

We’ll see you there. 🤍

The classical mat is the foundation of the Pilates method — a series of flowing, precise exercises designed to strengthen the whole body.

Challenge yourself with no springs. Just you, gravity and your own strength 💪

MATWORK: THE ULTIMATE TEST

No springs.
No straps.
No apparatus to assist you.
Just you, gravity and what your body can do.
Nowhere to hide!

The classical mat order is not simply a list of exercises. The order is part of the challenge.

One exercise prepares you for the next. Fatigue accumulates. Transitions matter so that energy is not wasted. Your ability to maintain precision, control, breath and flow is being constantly tested.

That’s why the matwork can be fascinatingly contradictory.

For some, it feels too easy. For others, impossibly hard. Often neither is really about the exercises themselves. It’s about what they reveal.

Can you maintain quality when you’re tired? Can you control the exercise, rather than just complete it? Can you move efficiently from one exercise to the next? Can you do exercises that you’re proficient at and still have something left for the ones that expose your weaknesses?

That’s why the matwork remains the ultimate test. Not because any one exercise is impossible, but because the whole order ask EVERYTHING of you.

The RPTT programme asks more from its trainees than simply learning a series of exercises from a manual. It requires dedication, passion, discipline and a genuine commitment to continual self-development.

The Pilates Studio Devon is excited to welcome applications for Autumn 2027!

One of the things I hear most from people new to Pilates is, “There’s so much to think about.”

And they’re right.

It can feel like your brain is working just as hard as your body.

But that is the point!

Pilates asks for your concentration, not because you’re expected to get everything right, but because bringing your attention to your movement is how the practice works. Over time, what once felt like a long checklist becomes more familiar. Your body begins to understand, your movements become more intuitive and your mind becomes less crowded.

As the physical practice develops, so does the mental one. You build strength, mobility and coordination, but you also develop focus, awareness and the ability to return your attention to the present moment.

In that sense, Pilates is mindfulness in motion. Each breath and each movement is an opportunity to connect your mind and body a little more deeply.

So if it feels like there’s a lot to think about, that’s ok. There is. And with practice, both your body and your mind learn together.
