Each movement is taught at different levels, with the option to use resistance bands or soft balls to help tone, strengthen, and stretch tight or underused muscles. Pilates can also complement other forms of exercise and support active ageing and overall wellbeing. Please bring: ✔ An exercise mat ✔ A soft Pilates ball or small cushion ✔ A stretch band, resistance band, long scarf, or belt ✔ A yoga block or rolled towel Sam has a limited number of spare mats, balls, and bands available if needed. Exercises can be adapted throughout, and there is no pressure to keep up — you are encouraged to work at your own pace. “In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a new body.” — Joseph Pilates
