Videos - Welcome to Pilates!

We are so excited you are here! It means you are one step closer to starting Pilates - or returning back to this exercise after a break.

To get the most out of your Pilates workout set-up technique is key.

On this page you’ll find a blend of short set-up videos as well as some classes you can try in your own time to put the technique into practice.

The videos here aim to get you as comfortable and familiar as possible in advance - or alongside - your first first few sessions.

We hope you find them useful!
