Studio Policy
HEALTH CONDITIONS: You must disclose any serious health conditions such as neck, back or joint injuries, heart disease, high blood pressure, recent surgery, pregnancy, etc. prior to your first session.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST SESSION:
When you first arrive, you will fill out brief paperwork. This should only take about five minutes. You can show up five minutes early, however, any earlier than that is not advised. The first few sessions might start out slow and educational, since the the Pilates Method is quite precise. This is not how subsequent sessions will be. As you understand the fundamentals of each exercise, the sessions will move more rapidly. From there, the sessions can take a more creative approach, ensuring variety for all your lessons!
Practice Guidelines
ATTIRE: Wear athletic clothing that is flexible and not restrictive, such as biker shorts, sweats, t-shirts, tights and leotards. All sessions are done wearing socks, but not shoes. Pregnant and menopausal clients should consider layering their clothing to avoid overheating.
FOOD AND DRINK: To avoid low blood sugar scenarios during sessions, please use your judgement in the timing of snacks. For those with a very fast metabolism, arriving on an empty stomach could result in lightheadedness. For others, having a snack one or two hours beforehand may make another student feel too full. Typically, pregnant women need to snack one hour before exercising. For best results, choose snacks that are rich in complex carbohydrates and low in fats. Attending a session after a large meal will certainly hamper performance, since Pilates focuses on deep abdominal contractions throughout.
