Matwork & Antenatal ClassesWe offer small matwork classes for beginners to intermediates. Our matwork classes have a maximum of 9 people and make use of the small Pilates apparatus (such as flex bands, weights and toning circles). Our general classes are not suitable for pregnancy but we do offer antenatal classes for pregnant women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters. If you are new to Pilates you will be required to complete a 4-week Introduction to Pilates course before joining a beginners or improvers level class. Introduction to Pilates coursesThese 4-week courses are compulsory for all new clients who have either never done Pilates before or are at beginners leve and do not wish to book one-to-one tuition. These courses run every month either on Saturday or in the evenings after 8 p.m. The classes cover the basics of alignment, breathing and centering as well as a number of beginners Pilates exercises. They provide a perfect opportunity for you to try out the studio and to see whether Pilates is for you as well as for your instructor to assess your level. These classes will have a maximum of 6 people and are suitable for clients with back pain or minor injuries. 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. 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. Or we do offer a more flexible 4-week pass option which allows you to use the classes at your leisure.

General Matwork ClassesDo classes need to be booked in advance?Yes, most classes (with the exception of drop-in classes) are progressive and set in courses of between 6 to 12 one hour sessions. Payment is taken for these per course in advance and refunds cannot be given for missed classes. Clients will be required to fill out an enrolment form and will be placed in a suitable class according to level and ability. Beginners must complete a 4-week introduction to Pilates course or some one-to-one sessions before joining a beginners class. We do run classes on a Monday evening on a semi drop-in basis which enables people who cannot commit to a regular weekly class to participate. These cost £50 for 5 classes (which must be paid for in advance) but you then have a 10 week period in which to use them. These are beginners and improvers level. Beginners must complete a 4-week introduction to Pilates course (which can be spread over a number of months) or at least 1, one-to-one session before joining. Do I need to take anything to class? What should I wear? Women - tight fitting shirt or leotard and leggings The reason for wearing the clothes suggested above is that it is important for the instructor to see the alignment of your body and this is sometimes difficult when wearing baggy clothes.
