General Info

1st session - Your first session is a private one and it includes the following: introduction to the Pilates principles, physical assessment, discussion with the instructor concerning your goals, possible aches and pains or injuries.

Duration of sessions

All sessions are 60 min. long.

Schedule

Appointments can be scheduled on weekdays, mornings or afternoons as well as Saturday mornings. Ask for the current schedule.

Appropriate clothing

Comfortable clothes: sleeveless or short sleeves t-shirt with a light jacket in winter, or a leotard with footless tights. The more fitted the clothing the better so that the instructor is able to correct your posture at all times. Without shoes and please bring a pair of clean socks to wear.

Eating before & Drinking after

It is advised not to eat anything at least an hour before the session. Drink lots of water after the class. This will help the lymphatic system which is activated with exercise, to release toxins. If you fail to drink water you might experience a headache because of these toxins.

Aerobic exercise

The studio has elliptic equipment suitable for aerobic exercise and it is at your disposal to use before or after your session, for no extra charge. You are advised to use it as a warm up before your session.  You can also combine Pilates with Zumba classes to get your aerobic workout.

Help yourselves!

You can use the kitchenette for a hot or cold drink or water. A cup of ‘alouisa’ herbal tea, after the session, is excellent for detoxification!
