FAQs

Classical Pilates follows the original method created by Joseph Pilates, using a structured sequence and focusing on precision, control, and breath. The equipment, like the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair, stays true to its roots, working in harmony with the biomechanics of the body to ensure effective and safe movement. Modern Pilates, on the other hand, is all about embracing the latest innovations and equipment, which can sometimes feel like gymnastics, but still focuses on the foundational principles of alignment and control. At the heart of it all is the unparalleled support and effectiveness of the original equipment, crafted to enhance and optimise the body's biomechanics.

These sessions are designed for all levels — beginners, advanced practitioners, athletes, individuals with chronic pain, pregnant women, and those in rehabilitation. Each session is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you get the most out of every session.

It depends on how often you come and how much effort you put in, but you'll definitely see results! Most people notice improved posture, strength, and flexibility within a few weeks. As Joseph Pilates famously said: "In 10 sessions, you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions, you'll see the difference, and in 30 sessions, you'll have a new body.”

CoreAlign® focuses on balance, functional movement, and strength while standing and walking, whereas traditional Pilates equipment primarily involves exercises performed in lying or seated positions, emphasizing control and precision. The best of both worlds, combining these approaches offers unparalleled benefits, enhancing stability and freedom of movement like never before.

Absolutely! Classical Pilates and CoreAlign® are amazing at strengthening the core, improving posture, and releasing muscle tension that contributes to pain. The great thing is, you can adapt exercises to suit your individual condition, so you can be sure you're getting the best results.

Absolutely not! Pilates is designed to develop flexibility, stability, and strength gradually, so you can start in your own way and work up to more advanced poses. You don't need to be flexible or strong beforehand — the method itself will take you there.

For those just starting out, 1-2 times per week is perfect. And if you're looking for even faster progress, then 3-4 times per week will bring significant results.

That's easy - just make sure you're comfortable and you're all set! Wear comfortable, fitted clothing that allows for full movement and enables the instructor to observe your alignment and muscle engagement. And don't worry about shoes — you'll be doing sessions barefoot or with grip socks.

Absolutely! The best part is that Pilates is an amazing foundation for any sport — it enhances muscle control, increases range of motion, and reduces injury risk. It pairs brilliantly with running, yoga, strength training, and other activities.

The best way to get started is by booking an introductory session, where we'll assess your personal needs and create a customized training plan just for you. You can start with a private session or join a group class based on your level and goals.
