Your instructor will assess your suitability and can adapt exercises to meet your individual needs, ensuring a safe and effective experience for everyone.

It’s recommended to have some experience with Mat based Pilates before progressing to the Reformer. Developing body awareness and control using the correct muscle groups is essential. A solid understanding of core Pilates principles such as breathing techniques, posture alignment, and basic terminology can greatly enhance your safety and effectiveness on the Reformer.

Each class builds on the previous one, so we encourage you to attend every session to get the most out of your block. That said, we understand that life happens. If you can’t make a class, please let your instructor know in advance. Catch up classes may be arranged, subject to availability.

At the end of your 6 week block, you’ll have the opportunity to book onto the next course. Each block varies slightly to keep things fresh and progressively build on your skills.

If you are already on a course you will be offered priority rebooking. We also encourage you to continue practicing Pilates at home and to apply the principles and cues you’ve learned into your daily life for lasting benefits.
