Pilates Sessions & Programs

If you are interested in mat classes (Pilates Matwork, Pilates & Slings Myofascial Training), you can start with a casual class pass or purchase of 10 classes. Please arrive 5 minutes before your first class to complete a new client questionnaire. If you are recovering from injuries or post partum please contact Claudia to arrange initial assessment /body reading before taking up group mat sessions.

We recommend comfortable clothing in which you can move freely. Pilates socks with grips along the sole are available for purchase on arrival. However sessions are taught barefoot on the mat.

For beginners, it is wise to start with one Pilates session a week to see how your body feels after your Pilates session. If you are quite fit, you can try starting with two classes a week. To get the best results, it is recommend to do a variety of sessions so that you are continually challenging your muscles, therefore Create Movement offers a variety of different classes with varying levels of intensity.

Pilates can be cardiovascular workout if your are at intermediate/ advanced level and have no injuries. Pilates is great for low- impact strengthening of the muscles, development of core stability, toning and increasing flexibility. However if you have an injury, the focus should be on rehabilitation instead of calorie burning. Our Pilates intermediate and advanced session provide more challenging sequences which requires experience in Pilates / Yoga.

Pilates is a great way to maintain fitness throughout pregnancy and to rehabilitate after labour. It is important to strengthen the pelvic floor, buttocks, legs, and arms but one must be careful with which abdominal muscles are being activated. It is vital to consult a physician as to when you may return to exercise after giving birth as the time will vary depending on the nature of the birth.

Since there are many modifications that need to be made to exercises during pregnancy and many exercise series that cannot be performed, our regular group reformer Pilates classes are not suitable for pregnant and postnatal clients. At Create Movement we highly recommend that you schedule a private Pilates session so we may customise a workout for you that will include supportive props for mat exercises.

Because of the nature of my business, various locations I am only here during class times or private sessions during which they are occupied with clients. We ask that you book in online ahead of time for one of our new client packages. If you are coming to a group class as a new client, please arrive 5 minutes prior to class start time to fill in your new client contact information and health history questionnaire.
