What should I do in my first class?
Please arrive about 5-10 minutes early to acquaint yourself with the instructor and studio. Please let your instructor know that you are new so that they can help you set everything up correctly and show you around.
Details of known injuries etc should be on the enrollment form and are to be handed to the instructor so they are aware before the class starts of what they are needing to be mindful of.

What can I expect in a Pilates class?
Pilates is a unique form of exercise that was developed in the early 1900’s by Joseph Pilates. Pilates can change the body shape in time, but it is particularly about rebalancing the body, improving posture through awareness and discovering the weaker areas of the body that need to be addressed to do this. This is achieved through the use of specific breathing to target deep muscles, to strengthen the core and allow the body to move more freely. It is a journey of discovery. Patience is needed but the results are worth working for.

Can I bring a friend along?
Of course! We love meeting new faces and introducing everyone to Pilates – the more, the merrier! But just be sure to check class availability online or call first if you plan to bring a friend or family member, we’d be sad if they had to sit on the sideline and watch!

What If I am pregnant? Can I still do Pilates?
Pilates for Pregnancy is amazing as it is low impact and targets all major muscle groups and specific areas of the body, such as pelvic stability, that need strengthening through each trimester.
It is so important to maintain health, strength, flexibility and ease of movement through the pregnancy and in preparation for the birth. Benefits also extend to a quicker post natal recovery.
