Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be flexible to do Pilates?

Not at all! Flexibility develops over time, and Pilates helps you build it safely.

What if I’ve never worked out before?

That’s totally okay. We welcome all experience levels and offer modifications throughout class.

What if I have an injury or condition?

Let your instructor know ahead of time. They’ll provide personalized cues to help you move safely.
