What (and What Not) to Wear

Late Arrivals

Policies Of the Atelier

  • Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy, free movement.

  • Be sure your clothing does not have zippers, snaps, or metal embellishments, as those elements can damage the equipment.

  • Similarly, I ask for you to remove all jewelry and avoid wearing large hair clips.

  • Please do not wear jeans, khakis, or cargo pants, as you will not be able to move effectively or safely.

  • Bare feet are encouraged during class, but grippy socks are welcome if you prefer.

Sessions will begin and end according to the scheduled appointment time. In case of late arrival, your session will still conclude at the originally designated time to avoid delaying subsequent appointments. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to making the most of your Pilates experience.

For Mat Classes, a 5-minute late arrival window will be permitted. More than that, however, and your admittance will be forfeited.

Individual Session Cancellation Policy

We kindly ask for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule any appointment or class. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will be charged in full. You can manage your bookings online, or by emailing us directly.

Duet Session Cancellation Policy

The duet session cancellation policy is the same as the individual session policy: we kindly ask for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Due to the unique nature of duet sessions, where both participants rely on each other's attendance, if just one participant needs to cancel then remaining participant will be given the option to upgrade to an individual class. within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, both clients will be charged a late cancellation fee, as it may not be possible to find a replacement partner on short notice.

Consent to hands-on adjustments

Your comfort and safety matter to me. While hands-on adjustments can help refine your form, I respect your preferences. Please let me know at the start of our session if you're open to hands-on adjustments.

If you prefer not to receive them, I'll provide alternative cues and demonstrations to guide you. Your choice will be respected to ensure a personalized and positive experience.

Payment and Refund Policy

Payment for all sessions and packages is due either before or at the time of your appointment.

  • All session packages are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.

  • Packages are non-refundable and non-transferable.

  • No refunds will be issued for unused sessions.
