Five Tips for Your First Pilates Class

A first class can feel a little daunting — which is completely normal. Here are five tips to make your start calmer and more enjoyable.

1. Wear something comfortable

Loose activewear that lets you move and feel at ease. You do not need to bring equipment — everything is here at the studio.

2. Arrive ten minutes early

Enough time to find your way around, settle your things, and walk into class unhurried.

3. Tell your trainer about any injury

Every movement has alternatives that suit your body — your trainer only needs to know.

4. Pay attention to your breath

In Pilates, breathing is half the exercise. Do not worry if you lose it now and then; it comes with practice.

5. Listen to your body

Do not measure yourself against anyone else. Every body starts where it is, and the journey matters more than the pace.

See you at your first class 🌿
