It is important that you advise us before commencing any session if, for any reason, your health or ability to exercise changes.
Pilates is a very safe form of exercise, however, as with all forms of exercise, it is prudent to consult your doctor if you suffer from any health problems or special conditions, or if you are in any doubt as to its suitability. If you are undergoing any medical treatment or are taking medication, you will need to consult your medical practitioner first. Pilates should not be considered a replacement for professional medical counselling or treatment. We strongly recommend that you check with your midwife or doctor that it is still appropriate to exercise as you progress through your pregnancy (perhaps at your regular antenatal sessions).
Exercise should be performed at a pace which feels comfortable for you. PAIN is the body's warning system and should NOT BE IGNORED. You must take responsibility for your own body during each Pilates session and must inform your instructor if you feel any discomfort. Please also inform the instructor if you felt any discomfort after a previous session.
The Pilates Corner and Pilates with Emma nor the instructor accept no liability related to participation in the class if:
- The Doctor has advised you against such exercise.
- You do not act responsibly with your body or fail to observe instruction on safety or technique.
- Such injury is caused by the negligence of another participant in the session/studio.
I understand that Pilates exercises involve hands-on correction and I hereby consent for my instructor to work in this way. I understand that I will be charged for my class if I do not give 12 hours notice or cancellation (24 hours' notice for 1:1 sessions).
I confirm that I have read and understood the above advice and that the information I have given here is correct.
