Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Pilates experience to join?
Not at all. Our Mat Pilates classes are beginner-friendly, and instructors offer options for all levels. If you’re unsure which class is best, message us and we’ll guide you.
What’s the difference between Mat Pilates and Strong Pilates?
Mat Pilates focuses on core control, posture, mobility, and technique using bodyweight. Strong Pilates is a more dynamic class that combines Pilates principles with small equipment such as rings, resistance bands, and light weights for an extra strength challenge.
Do I need to bring my own mat or equipment?
No — mats are provided, and we have small equipment available in the studio. You’re welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.
Is Prenatal / Postnatal Pilates safe? When can I start?
Our pre- and postnatal classes are designed with pregnancy and postpartum considerations in mind, using safe, adaptable exercises and clear coaching. If you’re postpartum, a common guideline is to return to exercise from around 6 weeks after birth, but always follow your medical professional’s advice and let your instructor know if you’ve had a C-section, pelvic floor concerns, or diastasis recti.
What should I wear to class?
Comfortable activewear you can move in, and grippy socks if you have them (optional). Bring water.
How big are the classes?
We keep class sizes manageable to ensure personal attention and a comfortable experience.
