What should I expect in my first session?

Hanna will ask you to fill out a client consultation form to find out about any pre-existing injuries and your medical history. She might also ask you a few questions about the form to clarify any exercises which are not appropriate for you

 

Do I need any equipment?

Hanna provides mats and any equipment used during the class or you can of course uses your own mat if you prefer

 

What should I wear?

Please wear comfortable clothing which you can move in such as leggings or track suit bottoms and a t-shirt. Although nothing too baggy so that Hanna can see how the body is moving

 

Do I need to have done Pilates before?

Each private session or small group class is tailored to the Client's needs and ability so it is not necessary to have done Pilates before to book a session. It is important to let Hanna know your previous level of experience and any injuries you may currently have so she can tailor the class to your specific needs

 

Can I do Pilates or start Pilates if I am pregnant?

Pilates is a great form of exercise both pre and post-natally as it helps to support the body through the changes which pregnancy brings. If you have never taken pilates before and would like to start while pregnant you are recommended to wait until 12 weeks before starting classes. Hanna is both pre and post-natally trained and continued Pilates throughout her own pregnancies.
