Path to Pilates FAQ

  • 6 months access to 21 progressive mini sessions to work through at your pace.

    Sessions are organised into 7 areas of focus (spine, hips, breath & core, shoulders, posture, feet & balance and bringing it together). To get the most from the programme, it’s recommended you work through them in order over 7 weeks (completing at least 3 sessions per week) then revisit and repeat for ongoing practice, but how you use them is up to you.

  • Path to Pilates is ideal if you experience general back stiffness or discomfort and aren’t currently engaging in a regular practice like Yoga, Pilates, or back care exercises, but have been told you should. It’s especially suited if you’re short on time or unsure where to begin.

    If you’re currently dealing with an injury, significant pain, or nerve symptoms (such as tingling, numbness, or shooting pain), check with your clinician first to see whether gentle Pilates-based movement is appropriate for you right now.

  • Not at all. Path to Pilates is built for complete beginners and people returning to movement after time away.

  • You need very little kit to start practicing, just a mat (or comfy floor space), and a few inexpensive props, some of which you may already have.

    Essential kit:

    Recommended kit:

    The props really support your awareness, help you to build strength and recognise your progress over time. You’ll get plenty of use out of them.

  • Path to Pilates is not specifically designed as prenatal exercise and isn’t suitable for anyone beyond their first trimester of pregnancy.

    It is however a brilliant option for those looking to gently rebuild movement in the postnatal period (once you have been signed off to exercise by your GP).
