Wear anything that you feel comfortable moving in but chose clothing wisely in order to avoid any โmalfunctionsโ.
MEN: Please wear tighter athletic shorts underneath any baggy shorts.
About Feet: Sticky socks are encouraged. Socks that are not sticky may not be worn during workouts due to the danger of slipping. We do allow bare feet in the studio, but if you have any issues with your feet that could be contagious, socks are required. We sell socks in the front of the studio.
Please no belts or sharp buttons on the equipment and no high heels on the floors.

Please do not eat a heavy meal before class but also do not arrive on an empty stomach. The exercises at Posture Studio work on deep core muscles, take concentration and require stamina. You do not want to practice with low blood sugar levels. Bring water to class. We do have snacks and water for purchase in the studio.

While Pilates and yoga are both mind-body practices that require mental focus, improve flexibility, increase strength, and calm the nervous system, their approach is quite different.
Yoga is an eastern spiritual practice and the physical poses of the practice is only one part of the depths of yoga.
Pilates is an exercise-based practice without any leaning towards a particular spiritual discipline. Interestingly enough, Pilates does help people reach calm, meditative states, but this is a side benefit of focusing on movement training and is not the main focus of the practice. The focus of Pilates is improved balance, strength, flexibility and mental acuity.

Improvement will be noticed with one session weekly, although many clients enjoy 2-3 classes weekly. We do encourage clients to try mat classes as well as equipment classes since matwork is truly the heart of the Pilates practice. Clients find that 1 equipment class plus 1 mat class or 2 equipment classes make them feel wonderful.
