What should I wear?
Comfortable fitting clothing you would wear for any type of workout is best. Leggings, joggers, shorts, tank tops or t-shirts are all good. For the hygiene of everyone using the equipment, please do not wear only a crop top. Grippy socks only if you choose to wear socks.
What should I bring to class?
All equipment is provided for our clients. Please bring a bottle of water and a towel if you feel it is necessary. Grippy socks are available at the studio for $10.00 if needed.

I pride myself on paying close attention to the form my clients have. Private sessions are available, but most sessions are 2 to 3 people max.
Is it safe to practice Pilates during pregnancy?
As with all exercise practice, Pilates is safe during pregnancy as long as you have been practicing prior to becoming pregnant. Modifications will be used as the pregnancy progresses.
