Yes, you can join the group even if you’ve never done Pilates before. If you’re afraid of being unfamiliar with Pilates, you have the option of having one or more individual 1:1 classes beforehand, so you can familiarise yourself with the basic principles and exercises. Additionally, this lets the instructor get to know your body better, if you have any ailments, and she can then give you the appropriate modifications in the group classes here.

Group classes range from beginner to advanced level. There may be people with no experience, as well as people who have been doing Pilates for years. You just have to choose the right level for you on our calendar. Within each class we make adjustments to the exercises so that they adapt to you even more.

If you have an injury, I recommend 3-4 private classes before joining the group class, so we can work on the injury first, as well as get to know your body, strengths and limitations better. Then I can give you appropriate modifications in the group classes. You can find all the information about the private classes here.

If you already do Pilates with me, you can continue the Pilates Matwork classes during your first trimester, because it is still suitable for you and I know your body (as long as you feel well). When you enter your second trimester (week 13), it is mandatory to transition to my Prenatal Pilates classes.

If you have never done Pilates before, you should start with the Prenatal Pilates class, whatever trimester you are in. It is safe to do Prenatal Pilates from the first week of pregnancy, as long as you’ve not been contraindicated and have permission from your doctor or midwife.

You can find all the information about the Pilates Prenatal classes here.

If you are still in your postpartum year and have not yet exercised, the right class for you is Pre and Postnatal Pilates (either private or group classes). You must have your doctor or midwife’s permission to join the class.

If you have any doubts about joining any of the classes, email us at hello@vivianepilates.com and we will help you. You can find all the information about the Pilates Postnatal classes here.

The most essential equipment for the class is a Pilates mat (10-15mm thick) and blocks (thin and thick) to adapt the exercises to your body so that you are more comfortable and well aligned. Apart from that, we use equipment like resistance bands, weights, resistance rings, softballs etc.

If you don’t have any pieces of equipment, you can get them from my list of recommended products. Don’t worry, because you don’t need to have all the equipment for your first class. You can gradually acquire them. In addition, we will let you know in advance of each class the equipment you will need. If you don’t have the equipment on a particular day, that’s not an issue, I will give you some modifications so you can either train with an alternative piece of equipment or none at all. You’ll still enjoy the class!

Yes, packages expire 6 weeks from date of purchase. So you will have 6 weeks to attend 4 classes. They are intended to create a regular workout routine, but give you the flexibility to use all your class passes, even if you can’t attend weekly, are ill with a flu or go on holiday.

Just as you did when you purchased your package, you can reschedule any class reserved as part of the package. You are not obliged to attend the classes you booked at the initial time of purchase, because we understand that your availability might change.

Single classes are intended to be used for a one-off session, for example, if you want to try out a single class to see how you feel. These expire 2 weeks from the date of purchase.

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. So yes, you can cancel or reschedule a class up to 24 hours before the class is scheduled to begin. Cancellation within the 24 hour period prior to your class is considered a late cancellation and you will not be able to reuse the pass for that class. You will be able to access the recording for the next 5 days. After your purchase, you will receive detailed information which explains how to reschedule your Pilates class.

No, I don’t offer trial classes for individuals or groups. The best way to experience one of my classes is to book a single class. You can buy a single group class, or if you’ve never done Pilates before, we advise you start with 1 or 2 individual classes with me. I will teach you the basics, and then you can join a group. You can book your individual class here.
