Pilates Foundations

A beginner’s guide to understanding Pilates, moving with intention and getting more from every class. Created by a Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor.

Get more from Pilates from the very beginning.

Starting Pilates can feel like a lot to take in. There are positions, breathing, alignment, terminology and techniques to think about, while you’re also trying to follow along with the exercises.

Pilates Foundations is the preparation that helps you understand what you’re doing before you get caught up in the movements.

It’s designed to give you the knowledge and awareness you need to get more out of your Pilates practice from day one.

 

What you’ll learn

  • The fundamental principles behind Pilates and why they matter

  • How to understand and work with your alignment and positioning

  • Breathing and how it fits into your Pilates practice

  • Key Pilates terminology so you know exactly what you’re being asked to do

  • How to approach common Pilates movements and positions

  • What to focus on during your practice so you’re not simply copying an exercise

  • How to develop better body awareness and get more out of each movement

 

Why do this first?

You don’t need to know everything before starting Pilates.

But having a better understanding of the fundamentals can make a huge difference to how you approach your practice.

Rather than simply following along and hoping you’re doing it right, Pilates Foundations gives you the tools to understand what you’re doing, what to focus on and why it matters.
