Frequently Asked Questions
General
I have not exercised in a long time! Is Pilates or Yoga okay for me?
Yes! We offer beginner level classes of both Pilates and Yoga so that everyone can enjoy the benefits. We'll help ease you back into an active lifestyle.
I have a really bad back and I've heard that both Pilates and Yoga could benefit me. Is this true? Which would be better for my back?
Pilates has a long standing tradition of being a saviour for bad backs. Pilates will teach you exercises that are safe for your sensitive back but will also help you develop the strength you need to have a healthier back.

I've signed up for the series but I'm not able to make it to a few of my classes. What can I do?
At our studio we are very pleased to offer you makeup classes. When you miss a class, you may gladly make it up before the series is over. If you are unsure which class would be appropriate for your level, please ask your instructor and they will make suggestions for you based on your needs.
