No Previous Experience Necessary.
It's quite common for first-timers to feel intimidated about starting up Pilates sessions. The most common misconceptions are that you are "not flexible enough" or "not familiar with any of the exercises" etc. Instead of doubting your abilities consider that you are here to learn something new. As Maytal says, "you didn't go to school to learn things you already knew, you had to be taught how to read, write, do math, etc and that took time."
Pilates is designed to provide you with a uniquely personalized workout. At TPLA we provide a welcoming atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace.
Just come with an open mind, patience and the willingness to learn.
"Civilization impairs physical fitness" - Joseph Pilates
Each session is 45 - 55 minutes long.
For first-time clients new to the method the initial session acts as both as an assessment of your body's needs as well as an introduction to the equipment and to the basic exercises. For those with more experience of the Romana's or the "classical" method the session will seek to expand and challenge your understanding and connection of your powerhouse. Through fluid movement we will reveal your body's needs and challenge your strength to bring your body to the next level through the Pilates method.
