Pilates exercises are very safe but, as with all forms of physical exercise, it is prudent to consult your doctor before starting Pilates sessions.

Exercise should be performed at a pace which feels comfortable for you. PAIN is the body's warning system and should NOT BE IGNORED. Please inform your teacher immediatley if you any discomfort during a session. Please also inform the teacher if you felt any discomfort after a previous session.
I understand that these exercises involve hands-on correction and I hereby consent for my teachers to work in this way.
