50 min Group Mat class : Performers, UK (22 Bank Street, IV1 1QU)

Build a strong foundation in Pilates by learning the fundamental movement patterns, breathing, alignment and control that underpin the method.

This class introduces you to the traditional Pilates Mat repertoire, progressively building strength, mobility, coordination and body awareness. You will learn how to move with greater control and confidence while developing an understanding of how the exercises connect and build upon one another.

Whether you are completely new to Pilates or have recently started Reformer, this class will help you develop the foundations that support and strengthen your practice as a whole.

All mats and props are provided.

Block bookings are not required, pay as you go per individual class.

This Foundations class is best suited for you if:

• You are completely new to Pilates and would like to learn the foundations of Pilates.

• You are returning to movement after a period of inactivity and would like to rebuild your strength gradually.

• You are returning postpartum and would like to rebuild your core and pelvic floor strength (post six-week GP check).

• You have recently started on the Reformer and would like to build on your Pilates practice by combining the Reformer and Mat work.

• You want to develop your core and whole-body strength, stability, control and mobility.

• You struggle with stiffness or reduced mobility and would like to become stronger and more confident in your movement.

• You simply want to learn Pilates in a more traditional way and understand how a regular Pilates practice can support the way you move in everyday life.

Important: If you are recovering from an injury, experiencing persistent or undiagnosed pain, or have been diagnosed with a condition affecting your spine, bones or joints, please contact me before booking your class, rather than waiting until you arrive.

Certain conditions, including osteoporosis and disc-related conditions, may require exercises to be modified or avoided initially. Discussing this with me beforehand allows me to make sure that a group class is appropriate for you and that I can recommend the safest and most suitable starting point.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION:

CANCELLATIONS:

I kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hrs notice if you need to cancel your booking. This gives another client the opportunity to book your place.

• Cancellations made more than 24 hrs before your class will receive a class credit.

• Class credits are valid for 60 days from the date of issue and will automatically expire if not redeemed within this period.

• Cancellations made within 24 hrs of your class are considered a late cancellation and the full class fee will apply.

Late cancellations or non-attendance often mean another client misses the opportunity to attend. Your consideration and understanding helps ensure everyone has a fair chance to book a place.

Bookings can be cancelled online by logging into your account.

BOOKING CHANGES:

If you need to move your booking to another available class, please contact me and I'll be happy to help where possible.

Please note that requests to change a booking within 24 hrs of your scheduled class are treated as a late Cancellation, as the original space is unlikely to be filled at short notice.

Please let me know before attending if you have any injuries, medical conditions or health concerns that may affect your participation.

PREGNANCY & POSTNATAL:

Unfortunately, the classes are not suitable during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy or until you are at least 6 weeks postnatal (or longer if advised by your healthcare professional).
