Doing Pilates has cured me of regular back aches so I’m a big fan.

In class, the teacher provides them. They’re just like standard yoga mats, slightly longer than body length and slightly wider than body width. At home, I just do it on a carpeted floor.

Yes! I love it, do both mat and aerial. Just use normal yoga mat

Love Pilates, I do both mat and reformer. I use a regular yoga mat but I also use other equipment like bands and a circle but your teacher should provide anything you need in the class.

Can I recommend Lottie Murphy Pilates YouTube channel to you. I love her practices and it will give you a good idea of what your classes should be like, although all teachers do have their own style of practice. Smile

Thanks everyone! I’m going to look up Lottie Murphy on you tube 👍
