Questions people often ask
Do I need Pilates experience before starting?
No. The right starting point depends on your confidence, goals and injury history. Beginners can start with supported sessions and progress from there.
Is Pilates suitable if I have pain?
Often, yes, but the level matters. Exercises should be adapted around symptoms and progressed as confidence and capacity improve.
