Reformer Pilates

Everything you need to know about Reformer Pilates and how to complement it with our mat pilates classes on Alcudia beach.

Reformer Pilates is one of the most popular forms of pilates, using a machine with springs and pulleys to work the whole body. At Paquita Pilates & Yoga, we combine the principles of the Reformer with mat pilates on the beach, using the sand as natural resistance. For those seeking even more personalised work, we offer private coaching.

What is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates uses a machine designed by Joseph Pilates that provides variable resistance through springs. It allows precise work on strength, flexibility and postural control. It is especially effective for rehabilitation, core strengthening and posture improvement.

Mat Pilates on the Beach vs Reformer

Our mat pilates classes on Alcudia beach use the sand as natural resistance, which challenges the body in a similar way to the Reformer but in an outdoor environment. The unstable surface of the sand activates more stabilising muscles, creating a complete and functional workout that perfectly complements Reformer work.

Personalised Private Coaching

For those seeking an experience closer to Reformer Pilates, we offer private coaching sessions where Paquita designs a personalised programme tailored to your specific goals: rehabilitation, sports performance, toning or general wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer classes with a Reformer machine?

Our beach classes are mat pilates, which uses the sand as natural resistance. The sand offers benefits similar to the Reformer for core and stability work. For more personalised work, we offer private coaching.

What is the difference between mat pilates and Reformer?

The Reformer uses a machine with springs to provide variable resistance. Mat pilates uses your body weight and, in our case, the natural resistance of the sand. Both work the same Pilates principles: control, precision, flow and breathing.

Is it suitable for rehabilitation?

Yes, pilates is excellent for rehabilitation. Paquita has experience working with people recovering from injuries. Private sessions allow a programme tailored to your specific needs.

What is private coaching?

Private coaching is an individual session with Paquita where a personalised programme is designed. Ideal for specific goals, rehabilitation or those who prefer exclusive attention. Price on request.
