I’m a Beginner – how do I get started?
Equipment Classes:
Our beginner Pilates package includes a one to one session to introduce you to the principles of Pilates and give you an assessment so that our all teachers will be able to give you the best possible workout. You will then have 3 classes in a group setting within which you can put into practice your new routine.
Gyrotonic ® classes may be commenced at any stage as classes are usually taken privately or you can start with a friend by taking a Duet.
If you are or have been injured or are suffering from a specific structural problem, we require you to have an assessment with our resident Physiotherapist to guide our work with you. If you have a practitioner of your own, a letter from them with an assessment of your condition and any contraindications to specific exercises is required.
Mat Classes:
Have a look at the level of the class and select accordingly.
Open and Beginners classes are the ONLY classes suitable to beginners.
Our teachers all reserve the right to ask a student to come back to another class if they come to a class that is not suitable to their level. Please remember that this is both for the safety and enjoyment of all members of the class.
We assume that people attending classes at an intermediate or above level have taken at least 20 classes in that discipline and will take responsibility for their bodies by modifying and or leaving exercises as they see fit so that the class can maintain it’s momentum. |
