Special Courses

Monthly Introduction to Pilates courses

These courses are compulsory for all new clients who have either never done Pilates before or are at beginners level:

• 4-week courses, running every month at a different time
• small class sizes
• perfect if you haven't done Pilates before and would like to try it and check out the studio before committing to a longer course
• suitable for clients with back pain or minor injuries. Small class sizes (maximum of 6) will ensure you are well taken care off
• cover the basics of alignment, breathing and centering as well as a number of beginners Pilates exercises
• Once you have completed the entire course it will either be possible to join a beginners or improvers level matwork course or a studio equipment session

Date and time: These courses run for 4 weeks every month either on Saturday or in the evenings after 8 p.m. See the schedule below.

It is necessary to complete the entire 4 weeks in order to move onto another class. If you miss 1 class then it is possible to carry it over into another month. If you miss more than one class that you will be required to pay to re-take the missed classes unless you choose the 4-class pass option.

Cost: £50 per course or £60 for a 4-class pass to be used in any month (so for example you could take 1 class in April, 1 in June, etc..). Payable in advance by cash, bank transfer or paypal (we do not accept cheques or credit/debit cards).

Level: complete beginners
