No prior experience is typically required to take lessons. Pilates is a form of exercise that can be adapted to accommodate individuals of varying fitness levels and abilities. Whether you are a beginner or have previous experience with Pilates, Pilates Methodology will have classes and sessions suitable for your needs.

The Pilates reformer is perhaps the most well-known and versatile piece of equipment. Classical Pilates equipment refers to the specialized apparatus and machines that Joseph Pilates developed to enhance and support the Pilates exercises. These equipment pieces are designed to provide resistance, assistance, and a wide range of motion to engage and challenge different muscle groups. Some of the classical Pilates equipment includes: Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda chair, Barrels, & High Chair. These are some of the key classical Pilates equipment pieces, but there are additional apparatus and props, such as the Magic Circle, small weights, and resistance bands, that can be used to enhance the Pilates exercises and provide additional challenges or modifications.

Yes! Our Pilates instructors can modify exercises to accommodate specific injuries or limitations. They can adapt the exercises, provide alternative movements, or use props and equipment to create a safe and effective workout tailored to your needs. Always communicate openly with your instructor about your injury, discomfort, or any changes in your condition during your Pilates sessions. They can make necessary adjustments and provide appropriate recommendations to help you progress safely. Private sessions are recommended prior to joining a class to learn how to modify exercises appropriate for your condition.

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. It was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. The Pilates method emphasizes the integration of the mind and body and aims to create a balanced and aligned physique. Pilates exercises typically involve controlled movements performed on a mat or using specialized equipment, such as the Reformer, Cadillac, or Wunda Chair.

We recommend to wear something that allows you to move freely, feel comfortable, and gives your instructor the ability to observe and guide your movements effectively. Comfortable athletic wear free of buttons, snaps, or zippers. Pilates is often practiced barefoot, but if you prefer to wear socks, choose ones with grippy soles. These can provide traction and prevent slipping on the mat or equipment.

After your intial session, we’ll provide you with some tips and exercises to help maintain and further the benefits of the stretch. You may feel an immediate improvement in your flexibility and a reduction in tension. Your stretch therapist will advise on your action plan after your session.

You can book online, using our app, emailing or calling the studio. Please note, your first initial session is always 90 minutes. Please arrive 10 minutes early to ensure we start on time and you get the full benefit of your session. Please ensure your Fascia Stretch Intake form is filled prior to arriving.

You’ll relax on a comfortable massage table while your therapist guides you through a series of gentle, assisted stretches. The goal is to release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance overall mobility. Stay relaxed and passive. Breathing helps the therapist take the weight of your limbs and move you throughout the stretches. Your stretch session should be pain free. There will be moments during the session where you will feel a deep stretch, but it should not be painful or pinchy. If you feel any of these sensations during the session please let your therapist know so they can make modifications for your comfort.

Your therapist will start with a brief consultation to review your completed Fascia Stretch Intake Form and discuss your goals, concerns, and any specific areas of focus or discomfort. This helps us tailor the session to your needs. The 90 minute session gives our therapist enough time to get to know your body and troubleshoot any areas of concern. Therapist will perform a quick assessment of your range of motion and flexibility. This will give your therapist a baseline to measure your progress and identify any areas that need special attention.

You can workout before or after a fascial stretch therapy session. Our recommendation is to work out first then stretch after.

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Athletic wear such as shorts or yoga pants and a t-shirt are ideal. Avoid short shorts.

No oils or lotions are used during stretch therapy.

You may feel an immediate improvement in your flexibility and a reduction in tension. Continue to hydrate after your session to help your body recover and maximize the benefits of the stretch.
