How do I get started in Pilates, should I do a class or a private session?

Pilates is a great way to get inner core strength and develop the mind body connection. When starting, make sure your instructor has been trained by a reputable organization. Group classes are a great entry point while private sessions are better if you have particular goals or postural concerns.

But my first suggestion would to be sure that your instructor, whomever is teaching you, has been trained by a reputable organization, that they've done their Pilates training by a reputable organization. That's the most important thing. You want to be sure you're in really good hands when you're doing this work. Group training is a lot of fun, and it's a great entry point. Maybe it's where you start just to see if you even like Pilates. However, if you're looking to work on a particular goal, or you have some postural concerns, or maybe even coming out of an injury, then a private one-on-one session would be the way to go. The instructor, when they're well trained, will put you through an analysis, perhaps a static analysis of your posture, a movement analysis of your movement of your body, and then develop some programming specific to you. Whichever it is, get started. It's a great way to get that inner core strength and to develop that mind body connection."
