I joined MtM over a year ago and I love it. I've belonged to other yoga studios back home in NY and none compare to Mind the Mat. We moved from Arlington to Alexandria, mainly because, if we had to move, I was set on staying close to MY pilates studio. Classes are always challenging and effective, and their schedule offers almost an impossible number of classes. The teachers are amazing and are always inventing new ways to get dormant muscles working (and sore). They are also friendly, funny, welcoming and accommodating for injuries or discomfort.Not only has MtM helped change my body (I have a pilates butt now, never had a butt before), but it has brought my level of fitness up to one I never expected to reach with such simply targrted, mat-based movements.This studio SHOULD get 5 stars from everyone, but nothing is perfect and the couple of bad reviews are from people who had one, rare "bad" experience or were expecting a different experience all together. I have been a client for over a year, I go 3-6x a week and I have yet to have a bad experience.I <3 MtM

Excellent instructors and a welcoming space! The instructors know what they're doing. Classes are challenging yet safe, lots of cues and adjustments throughout. One of the few studios with hot pilates classes daily.
