The Pilates Mat is a series of exercises performed on a mat that are designed to strengthen the core muscles of the body that support the spine, increase flexibility, develop stability and build stamina.

It is no secret that Pilates is part of the well-rounded training programs of professional athletes, dancers, and skaters. It is also perfect for anyone looking to enhance their performance, get an edge over the competition, develop body awareness and recover from injuries.

When practiced correctly the Pilates Mat exercises uniformly develop the body, correct wrong postures, restore physical vitality, invigorate the mind, and elevate the spirit.

Elements of Pilates are similar to those of BJJ and include: Control, Centering, Concentration, Symmetry, Breath, Precision and Flow.

The Pilates Mat is part of a larger system called Contrology that was developed by Joseph H Pilates (1883-1968).

Cameron Jarrett has been practicing the Pilates Mat since 1994 and was certified to teach by Romana Kryzanowska in 2003. She is a Chicago based movement teaching artist. Purple Belt with Tutaj BJJ.
