Getting Started
If you've never done a Pilates class before, it's best to attend a class in person. When going to a Pilates studio, look for one that specifically offers beginner classes. You’ll feel more comfortable and you’ll be able to take your time to learn the exercises with support and supervision.
It’s important to talk to the teacher before you start the class, just to let them know that you’re new and if you have any injuries or areas of concern that they can help with. Teachers should always ask about injuries and pregnancies before they start teaching, so don’t feel shy about putting up your hand to let them know.
When you go to your first few classes, it’s so important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard. If your teacher gives you more advanced options, don’t feel pressured to try them out. It’s much more beneficial to get used to the class format and feel confident, then try the harder options in the future.
You’ll want to wear something with plenty of movement to a Pilates class, nothing too tight or restrictive.It can also be helpful to wear socks with grip if you don’t feel comfortable in bare feet, as regular socks will cause you to slip and you could injure yourself.
