Class Tips
- Familiarise yourself with the Pilates principles.
- Arrive on time, important centering and warming exercises are performed at the beginning of class.
- Wear loose or stretch fabrics for ease of movement, stretch fabrics are best as they are body forming so I can see alignment and muscle use Remove belts and constricting jewelry.
- Pony tails need to be worn either high or low so correct head and neck alignment can be maintained.
- Socks are mandatory in the interest of hygiene.
- Nothing is to be held in the mouth as it could result in choking, deep breathing is essential, e.g gum.
- Unless you are on call or expecting an important contact please be considerate and silence your phone.
- Blankets need to be folded and placed ready as required so as not to disrupt the flow of your practice.
- Leave your mat cleaned and fresh for the next student as you would like to find it. A personal yoga mat overlay is an option.
- Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to make your class. This allows for casual students or those wishing to make up missed classes to be included, and makes set up easier for me.
