Ní neart go cur le chéile: The May Mat Series for Pieta

Ní neart go cur le chéile - There's no strength without unity.

To celebrate Darkness Into Light 2026 and to support Pieta, we are opening our studio doors for The May Mat Series. Throughout the month of May, we are hosting one free Pilates mat class each week at different times to make movement accessible to everyone in our community. While these classes are free to book on our app, we are asking everyone who joins us to donate what they can to this page instead of paying a class fee.

All classes in this series are mixed level, you'll be guided through the foundational movements of the Classical Pilates Matwork sequence layering to a dynamic sequence designed to improve strength, control, mobility, and overall body awareness. Options and modifications are offered throughout, so you can work at a level that feels right for you.


The May Mat Series Schedule:

Sunday 10th May @ 11am Sunday Stretch

Thursday 14th May @ 9:30am Morning Flow

Monday 18th May @ 7am Sunrise Session

Monday 25th May @ 6:30pm May Finale


How to join:

1. Donate here (every bit helps!)

2. Book your spot via LegitFit app

3. Join us for movement for a great cause


Why your support matters:

Every day, people find themselves in moments of deep distress. They feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. Pieta is there for them, offering free, professional support at a time when it matters most.

Events like Darkness Into Light are vital. Around 80% of Pieta’s funding comes from public fundraising, including this event, proudly supported by Electric Ireland. This fundraising helps keep Pieta’s suicide and self-harm prevention services free and accessible for anyone who needs them, anywhere in Ireland.

By donating to our fundraiser, you are helping to ensure that someone in crisis can reach a trained therapist, be listened to, and feel less alone in that moment. A €24 donation could help answer two calls to Pieta's 24-hour Crisis Helpline, moments that can make a real difference and even save lives.


Thank you so much for supporting us and for helping Pieta continue this life-saving work.
