WHAT IS PILATES

Important safety notice for all pilates classes

  • Let your Pilates teacher know in advance if you have any injuries or medical conditions that might affect your ability to exercise. You should also inform your teacher if you are pregnant or have recently had a baby.
  • It's always advisable to check with your GP before taking up classes, and to bring a note from them to explain any injuries or medical conditions in more detail. If your GP or another health professional recommends Pilates you should get a letter from them describing the condition with recommendations and contraindications.
  • Depending on your injury or medical condition, an alternative or modified version of a particular exercise may be more suitable for you.
