What Is Pilates?

Pilates is the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit
— Joseph Pilates

Pilates is a form of exercise which concentrates on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength. 

This helps to improve general fitness and overall well-being.

Pilates concentrates on posture, balance and flexibility. In Pilates the chance of injury is much lower than with other more strenuous forms of exercise.

Pilates also focuses on the mind-body connection.

While doing the various exercises your mind needs to be constantly aware of your breathing and the way your body moves.

Studio Etiquette

Pilates is a hands on method. Tactile feedback is an important part of the instructors assistance to receive the required outcome. If you feel uncomfortable with tactile cueing, please inform your instructor before or after the class.

Punctuality - The classes are carefully structured to maximize the benefit to your body. We do understand how hectic life gets, but have to ask you to rather not attend class if you will be entering late, trusting that you understand missing the first few minutes is disrespectful to your body, the teacher and the fellow participants.

Attire - Shorts, leggings, fitter top and t-shirts all work well as appropriate attire. It is a good idea to wear layers on cold days. We also request that you wear socks to each class, normal or sticky socks.  If you do not have socks with you, you will be provided with a pair of sticky socks at R100 to be added to your account.

Shoes - Please note that the studio have a no shoes policy.  We kindly ask that you remove your shoes befor entering the studio and leave them in the designated areas.

Jewelry - We kindly request that you remove all jewelry (except smart watches) before each class.  This is to protect the equipment from any accidental damages.

Nails - Should you have long nails we kindly request that you take care when handling the equipment not to damage any of the materials.

Cell Phones - Please make sure that your cell phone is left on silent in the designa area. The answering of cell phones within the class environment is disturbing for both teachers and fellow clients.

Cleanliness - A towel is also required at every session. The cleanliness of the studio and equipment is a priority for us and we would be grateful if you would let us know if at any time we do not shape up. As a courtesy to fellow clients and to our teachers, we ask that all clients make personal hygiene, particular clean feet, a similar priority, and thank you for your understanding in this sensitive matter.

Changing Rooms & Facilities - Please treat the changing room and Spa facilities with respect.  This is a shared environment.
