Getting Started

Getting Started

For all clients that are new to Pilates your journey starts with two Orientation sessions. During these sessions we cover a body assessment and movement analysis, discuss any injuries you may have and how Pilates can help you rehabilitate them, cover the principles of Pilates including breathing and basic Pilates exercises and familiarise you with your instructor’s cueing and teaching techniques.

Whether you’re ready to book an orientation session, or simply wish to find out more about joining – please simply complete the form below and we will get the ball rolling ASAP. 

    First Time doing Pilates?

    Orientation sessions for first timers are done in the form of one-on-one private sessions and are compulsory for all clients new to the studio and Pilates.

    Sessions are one hour in length.

    Once you have completed the orientation you will either join a class that suits your level or you have the option to remain in Private Sessions. These options can be discussed with your Instructor.

    Already practicing Pilates?

    For clients who already have Pilates experience you only need to book one Private session to allow us to assess your level and to see how your body moves before being able to join a class.

Your classes are well planned, with a target in mind, but you allow space for a relaxed environment where one feels at ease. Having a class with you at the helm makes me feel at ease, knowing that you have thought everything through and are aware of my specific issues.... Read more

When I drive home from Pilates on a Thursday evening, I feel peaceful and restored.... Read more

      Janice's classes are absolutely amazing. I travel across to Constantia from the Waterfront each week and it's so worth the trip! I've done this for years.
