Studio Etiquette & Session Guidelines

Respect Your Body

Your safety and progress are our priority. Please let your instructor know about any pain, injuries, recent fractures, tightness, surgeries, or medical concerns before your session begins. This allows us to modify movements when needed and provide the most effective instruction.

Classical Pilates can be challenging, and some muscle soreness is normal as your body builds strength and control. However, you should not feel sharp, persistent, or concerning pain during your session.

Your Pilates session is also time set aside for you. To stay focused and fully present, please silence and put away your cellphone, Apple Watch, and other devices during your appointment.

For your safety, please do not chew gum during your session. Many Pilates exercises are performed while lying on your back or moving through changing positions, and chewing gum can create a choking risk.

Pilates is a workout. Come prepared to move, focus, and work with intention.

Respect the Equipment

Our studio uses authentic Pilates apparatus that requires proper care. Please avoid clothing with zippers, buttons, metal decorations, or hardware, as these can damage the equipment.

Jewelry should also be removed before your session. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, and dangling earrings may damage the apparatus, catch on springs or straps, or create a safety concern.

Please avoid scented products, including perfume, cologne, essential oils, heavily scented lotions, and hair products. This helps maintain a clean, comfortable studio environment for all clients.

Respect the Instructor

Please arrive on time for your scheduled session. Each appointment is reserved specifically for you, and arriving on time allows you to receive the full benefit of your instruction.

Wear clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably while staying secure in a variety of positions. Fitted athletic clothing is recommended because it allows your instructor to clearly see your alignment, form, and movement patterns. This helps us guide you safely and effectively.

Because Pilates involves lying down, stretching, bending, lifting your legs, and moving through a wide range of positions, choose clothing that keeps you comfortable and covered throughout your session.

Cancellation Policy

Because private sessions are reserved specifically for each client, cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment will be charged the full session price.
