Reformer/Tower
Experience the precision and control of Reformer Pilates at Pilates Ikigai. Using professional Peak Pilates equipment, each class focuses on strength, stability and alignment through resistance-based movement.
Sessions are kept intentionally small to ensure personal attention and expert correction — a maximum of 4 clients at our Mar Menor studio and 6 at La Manga Club Resort.
​
The Reformer is great for people new to Pilates, as most exercises are low-impact and partially weight-bearing. The classes will introduce you to the principles of Pìlates in a dynamic way. Working under load, the springs will offer different challenges depending on whether the focus is on articulation of the spine, strengthening of the muscles or stability.
Classes will grow in level of challenge gradually so that you can feel confident with every session. Benefits of Reformer Pilates are that it helps to develop a strong core by supporting and strengthening the muscles of the torso, hips shoulders and pelvis.

OUR CLASSES
Studio Pilates (at La Manga)
Studio Pilates is like a playground, with the five pieces of equipment designed by Joseph Pilates himself you will be able to challenge the body in all movement planes, progressing from lying down to hanging upside down. Each piece of equipment works on the principle of strengthening the body using the correct muscle groups, offering the body a safe place to establish stabilization whether balancing on the hands or hanging from the feet. Like all of the Pilates classes the Studio Circuit builds on a gradual progression, it is great for beginners who are looking to challenge themselves as they progress through the practice. Studio Circuit will offer some fun dynamic exercises no matter your level.

GROUP SIZE: 1-6 people
Pilates Mat TRX
The Pilates Mat TRX classes combine mat Pilates and equipment-based Pilates exercises and are performed on the TRX suspension trainer.
Each Pilates Suspension exercise is Pilates-rooted, and you will have most likely covered them on the Mat, Reformer or Trapeze Table; the only difference is the feedback you get back from the instability of the TRX.
Suspension training helps to improve your strength and endurance, but it can also help to improve your flexibility, coordination, and most importantly balance.
This class is suitable for all levels. Again, the classes will build gradually so that you can feel confident with every session.

GROUP SIZE: 6 people
Barre with Props
Barre at Pilates Ikigai blends the precision of Pilates with the rhythm and energy of dance-inspired movement.
Set to music, each class sculpts and strengthens through small, controlled repetitions that build endurance, balance and coordination.
Suitable for all levels, Barre is the perfect way to tone, lift and move with confidence. And classes progress as the group progresses.

GROUP SIZE: 8-12 people
