Clothes that you can move freely in and are comfortable.

Pilates is not a high-intensity form of exercise, so I would advise wearing layers to ensure you are warm enough throughout the class.

No shoes (unless there is a medical reason); socks are fine. Grippy socks can be beneficial to prevent slipping but are not a necessity.

When doing any form of exercise, a bottle of water is always beneficial to ensure you stay hydrated. I would recommend using a bottle that closes completely to avoid any spillage.

Any of your own equipment is great, like a mat, head cushion, or sitting blocks; however, if there is anything you don't have, this is not an issue, as some of these can be provided.

It is always beneficial to invest in your own equipment, especially if you want to practice Pilates at home. However, it is not always possible or practical to purchase a load of equipment when beginning a new hobby.

This is why I carry a basic level of mats, sitting blocks and head cushions that you can borrow until you have your own.

I would highly recommend starting with getting your own mat, followed by sitting blocks and then a head cushion.

Classes are an hour long to give your body enough time to warm up, be challenged and wind down.

They are mixed-level classes, so modifications will be available, allowing you to work at the right pace for your body.

We will run through exercises that ensure we get your whole body moving, targeting all directions of spinal movement, as well as core connection and breathing to support alignment and controlled movements.

All classes will finish with a couple of minutes of relaxation to provide your body with moments of complete rest.
