THE INITIATIVE


WHAT IS

MARCH MATNESS?

March Matness began as a global grassroots movement within the Pilates community — a month-long celebration of the classical mat repertoire as Joseph Pilates originally intended it. Started by instructors seeking to reconnect students to the foundational work, it quickly grew into an annual tradition practiced worldwide.

At Reforming Foundations, we've made it our own. Each day of March, one classical exercise is spotlighted — with full form guidance, modifications, and the "why" behind the movement. It's not about perfection. It's about showing up, practicing with intention, and celebrating what your body can do.

What began as a simple challenge has evolved into one of our most-loved community events of the year — a time when students and teachers move together, push each other, and rediscover why they fell in love with Pilates in the first place.


“Classical mat work is the root. Everything grows from here.”

OUR APPROACH

THE RF

DIFFERENCE

Reforming Foundations isn't a typical Pilates studio, and March Matness isn't a typical challenge. Everything here — the class size, the cueing, the pace — is a conscious choice made with your body in mind.

Whether you're brand new or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find a space that meets you where you are and moves forward with you — thoughtfully, carefully, and always with intention.

01
Form, Alignment & The Why
Every class is grounded in biomechanics and research-backed movement. As neutral spine specialists, we care deeply about alignment and form — and we'll always give you the reason behind every exercise, not just the shape.
02
Intentionally Small
We run groups of six. Not twelve. Not eighteen — six. That's a deliberate choice so you receive real attention, precise cueing, and a community that knows your name, your history, and your next milestone.
03
Built Around You
The first question we ask every new client: tell me about your goals. Everything that follows — your modifications, your progressions, your pace — is built from that answer. Inclusive, encouraging, and compassionate by design.
Also During March
Shop the RF Collection
Our in-studio retail curations feature pieces we actually practice in. Pick up RF merch, movement-friendly apparel, and studio essentials — and earn your Week 2 and Week 3 bonus stickers in the process.
