FAQ
What should i wear?
It is important that you are comfortable. So you don’t want to wear something that is too tight and restrictive, or something that is too baggy and gets in the way. Most ladies wear leggings and t shirts and the men generally wear jogging bottoms and t-shirts. No loose shorts. Bear feet or grippy socks your feet.
What should i bring?
You will need a sticky yoga mat, and a small cushion. Sometimes we use small equipment, such as bands, balls and others. I will bring some of these to the class. I will supply some of it if you would like to practice at home.
Can i have a meal before the class?
I would advise against having a meal within the 2 hours prior to a class. During each session we will be bending forwards and backwards, twisting and inverting the body. This may be particularly uncomfortable with a full tummy. If you feel you might get hungry or weak during a class than experiment with a light snack such as yoghurt, a few nuts, or juice about 30 minutes prior to class.
Im not flexable, Can i do pilates
Yes. Many people think that they need to be flexible before they can practice Pilates. In Pilates we use dynamic stretching, which is a safe and gentle way to increase your your flexibility while building the muscles around that area. Pilates is non competitive, and each person at class is encouraged to work at their own pace. This new found agility will be balanced by strength, coordination and enhanced health, as well as a sense of physical confidence and general well-being.
