March is upon us and for Pilates lovers, that means another round of March Matness! March Matness is an international event created to educate the world about Joseph Pilates’ original mat work. The goal of March Matness is to have you perform one classical Pilates mat exercise each day during the month of March. This year, we are joining in on the March Matness celebration with a Classical Pilates Mat Class Pop-up event at Revolution Buffalo.

In the Long + Lean March Matness celebration class you will execute the 34 Classical Pilates Mat exercises, with no breaks in between, just as Joe intended. The classical mat work is rarely presented in its pure, unadulterated form, and we are SO excited to share it with you so you can feel how amazing (and challenging) Pilates mat classes can be. Check out the event details below and reserve your spot here.

“The certification program at Long + Lean truly goes above and beyond in teaching the Pilates repertory. Throughout my training there, I gained so much knowledge in proper biomechanics and healthy movement patterns that prepared me to teach in numerous settings since moving to New York City. Hayley’s attention to detail and focus on the anatomy within Pilates really sets this program apart. I could not recommend it enough!” – Sydney Hale, Instructor at Erika Bloom Pilates
