What Makes a Pilates Class Feel Welcoming?
A clear introduction can take the guesswork out of a new class. Knowing where to leave your things and how to set up the equipment makes it easier to settle in.
Studio Notes
Ideas for the studio, your next class and the grip socks you bring along.
A Slower Pace for Side Work
Side-lying work can make small changes in balance easy to notice. Ask your instructor how to set up for the movement you are doing.
Make Your Studio Gear Last Longer
Start with what you already wear. Rotating a few favorites gives each pair time to dry completely between classes.
What to Look for in a Studio Grip Sock
Start with the fit around your heel and toes. When the foot shifts inside the sock, even a grippy sole can feel less stable.
A Lighter Grip Sock for Studio Days
A low-profile pair can feel less bulky during floor work and fit easily under trainers on the way home.
