Pilates:Yes, the FLXBL is just as great for Pilates as it is for Yoga. Because Pilates mats are usually a bit thicker than yoga mats, we advise you to use the FLXBL as a Top Layer on another mat when doing Pilates.Workouts:It is possible to use the FLXBL for an active workout as well. But as gym mats are even thicker than Pilates mats, make sure you use the FLXBL as a Top Layer when exercising on a hard surface.
