Studio Notes · Home Practice
A mini resistance loop is easy to keep with your mat. Start with a familiar movement and choose a band that lets you control the whole range without rushing.
Check the band for worn spots before each session and follow its care and use instructions. If a movement feels unfamiliar, ask your instructor to show you how to set it up.
Studio Notes · Care Guide
Start with the care label on your pair. If the label allows machine washing, turn the socks inside out and use a gentle cycle. A mesh laundry bag can keep them together in the wash.
Follow the label for drying. Skip high heat when the label recommends air drying, and let the socks dry fully before putting them back in your studio bag.
Studio Notes · Getting Started
For your first Pilates class, pack water, a small towel, and grip socks if your studio requires them. Wear clothes you can comfortably move in, and check the studio’s equipment and arrival instructions before you leave.
Let the instructor know it’s your first class. Ask where to put your things and how to get set up on the reformer. A quick orientation can make the first few minutes feel much more familiar.
