6 to 7 weeks.

Rings and Sit-Fits (Wobble Cushions) may be used to challenge you,

How do I join a Group Class ?
If you are unfamiliar with Pilates, and there
are no Beginners classes available, attending an initial private
lesson is essential to understand the principles of Pilates,
therefore gain the most from the exercises when you join a class.
If you have been referred by a Physiotherapist,
Chiropractor or Osteopath more than one private lesson may be
required before joining a group class.
Joining a group class depends on available spaces.
Occasionally you may need to go on a waiting list.
Once you have joined a class you
will automatically keep your place for the following term if you
wish to continue.
What do I wear ?
Wear comfortable clothing which allows freedom of
movement. Pilates is done without foot
wear but you may wish to wear socks. Keep
jewellery to a minimum and tie long hair back.
