Finishing Up Strong! March MATness 2026: Days 25-31
We’re down to the last week of exercises - whoop whoop! Also, a Free Full-length class for you + a massive discount!
Heya Pilatista and/or Movement Lover,
Here’s the final time in 2026 that I will type: “March is the month the world-wide Pilates community celebrates Joseph Pilates’ original 34 Matwork exercises”🤭
My Confession and a 🎁 For YOU
Every year when we get to the end of March I solemnly vow to work on the Mat exercises I still struggle with (Leg Pull I’m looking at you -arggghhhh).
How about you? Have any of JP’s original 34 that I’ve featured over the past month whet your appetite for further exploration? Have you checked out any of the exercise deep dives?
If the answer is yes to further exploration then I have two gifts for you:
For the Full Shebang, a FREE Mat class featuring all 34 original exercises (+2), please use code MM26THANKS👉 HERE
If that feels like it might be a bit too intense for you then please use code EXPLOREMAT for 66% of any of the five other Mat classes I have over in my video on demand library👇
Once you “buy” the class you’ll have access to it for seven days. The codes expire on April 18th so you’ll have plenty of time to use one or both of them.
And now on with the show…
The final seven days:
In Joseph Pilates original Mat order #27 is Kneeling Side Leg Kicks and #34 is the Pilates Push Up. (remember that the days don’t always line up with the dates). In between those two we have some bangers









Deep Dive Posts (with video tutorials):
March 25th, Kneeling Side Leg Kicks / Side Kick Kneeling*
March 26th, Side Bend
March 27th, Boomerang
March 28th, Seal & Crab
turns out I have no deep dive for Crab - it was towards the end of my list and then I tore my meniscus and it’s not possible for me to do yet😭
March 29th, Rocking
March 30th, Control Balance
March 31st, Push Up
*Different name for the same exercise: From Joseph Pilates’ Return To Life, vs. what it was called in my training program
