  • My small group classes are suitable for complete beginners although before attending a group class, please book either a 30 minute Small Group Introduction to Reformer Pilates or a 45 minute 1:1 Introduction to Reformer Pilates session so that you can familiarise yourself with the Reformer and we can discuss your goals and movement history.

  • You are welcome to book sessions as often as you wish although most people find that practising 1-2 times every fortnight is a good place to start. Regular practice will help you to build strength, improve your posture and develop your technique over time.

  • The studio is based in my home in Battle (exact address will be provided in your booking confirmation). We are located on North Trade Road, a 10 minute walk away from Battle High Street. Private on-site parking is available.

  • Please wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Please avoid any items with exposed zips, buckles or other metal as they may damage the Reformers. I recommend wearing grip socks during your Pilates practice for safety and hygiene. The studio is a shoe-free zone.

  • Due to our small class sizes, our Terms and Conditions ask clients to please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if it is necessary to cancel or rearrange a session. Where sufficient notice is provided, the booking may be credited, rearranged or refunded in accordance with the package purchased. Where no notice or less than 24 hours' notice is provided, the session will normally be charged in full or deducted from your package.
